    I have bought a few of these now and they are very handy. The size allows me to store the majority of our pictures and movies on it and use on any machine. Western Digital has been a leader in storage for quite some time and these things hold up very well. The only complaint I really have (and this pertains to every one that I have, roughly 15), they never want to eject well from a Windows Operating System. I usually get the "Unable to eject" error that a lot of others do. To circumvent this issue, it would be nice if Western Digital would release a utility of its own to allow for a fast and easy eject without any issues. Otherwise, you can't really go wrong! Be sure to buy a storage case too to store it when carrying it around or storing it.

    Perfect for Mac Backups & Media Storage

    I picked up the Easystore 2TB external hard drive specifically for use with my Mac, and it's been flawless. It connected easily, and after a quick reformat to macOS Extended (Journaled), I had it working as a Time Machine backup drive within minutes. It runs quiet, stays cool, and transfers large files quickly — exactly what I needed for backing up my music projects, videos, and design files from my laser engraver. The build feels solid and reliable. For any Mac user looking for simple, dependable backup storage, this drive is a great deal. Highly recommended.

    Easy to plug into a computer. You can move files over to it by just highlighting them and moving to the drive by dragging them. It stores a lot of files, pictures, and videos.

    Very simple to use seems very solid. Great value great price great quality. What can I say if you're looking for a huge capacity storage external drive this is probably the one. Very easy to set up, just plugged it in and copied my files and I backed up my entire photo file which was about 400 gigs in just a couple hours

    I purchased the WD-Easystore 2TB USB portable hard drive to back up and transfer a lot of my personal Widows 10 files to a new Windows 11 PC. It was very convenient to do and I was very happy with the speed of the operation. As a plus, I am retaining these files on the WD drive as additional backup and I have plenty of room to store future backup files from the new PC. I highly recommend this drive.

    Perfect for backup or use as an external drive for DVR use. Small compact and powered by the USB port. No external pwr needed. WD is a reliable brand and an easy buy at this price at best buy. Is that a meta?

    Very ease to use and the best part is that it has 3.0 USB which is so fast and efficient while doing task or transferring data over. I will buy it again and recommend it to a friend without a doubt. Also you can store console games as well.

    For my first extended drive, I’m very satisfied on having it. Was very easy to install, that a fifth grader can do it. Lastly, the price that I paid for it was just awesome for the amount of storage that it came with.

    I love this extra hard drive I think it’s perfect for storing family photos. It’s easy to use small and compact. There is nothing extravagant about it but it’s exactly what I needed to be able to store in excess of family photos.
