Good value for the money plenty of room to store my information

The WD 2TB External HD is good value for money, especially if transfer speed/time is not an important requirement. For example, I backup my MacBook Pro (MBP) to the WD 2TB HD every night using Time Machine (TM). I set the TM backup process in motion and generally don't use my MBP much until early next morning. So, for me, transfer speed is not a critical requirement.

USB 3.0 speed and easy installation and use. Compact size

My son needed this for more storage on his computer. Easy to install! Does the job! Would purchase again!

This was perfect. Its small and compact and is so simple to use! I'm sorry we didn't use it sooner. It is a great price and stores so much!! We have 2 laptops of info on it and there is still a ton of space!

Easy set up and reliable. I am very happy with this device

Quality 2TB storage solution from WD. Bought it to use with my media server running on an Ubuntu server and works great. Speeds are what you would expect for an external HDD. Purchased it for a heavily discounted price and would definitely buy from WD again.

The WD Easystore's have always been my go-to for hard drives, mostly because they're always in stock at my Best Buy. These are as great of an option as anything else I'd find on Amazon or some other tech stores. And they're constantly on sale, if you sign up for BestBuys email then you're basically guaranteed to see one of these on sale at least once a week. This isn't a fault of WD specifically but moreso the whole external drive industry. For the love of God, please switch over to USB-C already. The stupid Micro-USB sibling that they all use today hasn't been a broadly used port since the Galaxy S5. The $2 price hike to implement that port instead is more than worth it for consumers and its more likely someone would have a USB-C port lying around if they lost the included one than the stupid on they have now.

Reliable, fast data storage, much faster than the older, USB 2.0, I also own. No issues after and being used daily.

This drive is slim, quiet, and (reasonably) fast, and provides me with a good option for offline+offsite storage of some content. It would be nice if it came with a USB-C cable (or a small adapter), rather than the "USB-A to USB3 Micro-B", so that I didn't need to buy another dongle/cable, but it gets the job done. (Though I'll admit that if it hadn't been on a good sale, I might've looked further for other options.)

One of the best portable hard drives I've ever used. I use it mostly as storage for media, and it works like a charm. On top of that, it's extremely fast.

Works great, easy to use, no issues so far, great value .

Pair originally used as Raid 1 Apple TIme Machine backup for Mac Mini. Repurposed as Raid 0 striped pair to extend Mini small SSD capacity. Working fine on Mac Ventura OS update

I purchased this external drive when it was on sale. It has been my go to drive for back ups for the past 5 years. I have never had any problems with it. For a large capacity portable hard drive it is hard to beat.

Very user friendly and has plenty of space for my needs!

Works fast and writes fast. The storage is a complete 2 TB and comes with a program to help you use the drive more effectively.

I needed to move files from my old pc to my new one. I wanted to be able to save the file in case of any problems. It worked perfectly.

I bought this because i wanted to save space on my laptop and i am extremely pleased with it

Has done everything I asked of it. In the limmited space I have, it's the ideal size to keep handy.

I bought this product so the Geek Squad could back up my old computer. I'm so glad I did, so I can transfer the data to my new computer.
