Purchased as a backup for an aging laptop. This has more storage capacity than I really need at this time, but this allows me to move precious memories to a secure storage device, allowing access if the primary device ever fails. Of course, this requires me to be diligent about backups, but the WD external drive will handle that automatically for me - makes my life easier. And, based on current performance, I know that I'll not lose important files and memories if my current laptop fails before I'm ready to replace it. Again, an excellent value for a produce that performs as intended. I would purchase this again if the need arose.

A little confusing at first since it seems like you need to sign up for some account, but actually you can start using it right away and it is indeed very easy :) Saved me right before my laptop's fan went out!

Very easy to use. Plug and play at it's finest. Very handy to store data on instead of on main computer. When it is not connected to a computer, the data is air-gapped which provides excellent security. Great value for the money.

Easy to install, light weight and worth it for the price. I recommended for Mac user.

It does its job very fast. great Hard drive. very slim and super fast data processing with no noise at all. comes with 1 year included of data backup by WD.

The husband was super glad to have this in his stocking

Couldn’t be happier with this product have had no issues with it ever since I purchased it at least 6 months ago.Been hooked up to my ps5 since first day thanks Best Buy and WD for great product and price!!!!

I am using this as additional storage for my PS4 after hearing good things and, so far I don't have any complaints! Has worked very well. I do recommend waiting until it goes on sale because that happens decently often.

I was changing to a new computer and it worked great. I was able to back up my old computer, then transfer the files to my new computer. Once my new computer was set up, I easily backed up the new computer. It gives me a process to regularly back up my new computer to protect my data.

Cheap, decent speed, good choice for extra storage on a budget.

The item was in offer and that made it it extra special. The capacity was well enough for my daily use. It's a direct plug n use device. Quite fast and secure. Kinda light weight too

bought this to save my PS4 games from my PS5. It does what I need and that is save games onto it. Not much to really say about it outside of that. I never have to take it around town with me as I leave it hooked to my PS5

Great external hard drive for the cost. Use it for my music and can play through my usb in my Ford Bronco Sport. Highly recommend!!!!

Works as advertised, got a good deal with this hard drive.

My 11 year old son hooked it up so that he could store more games on his X box Mission accomplished.

I have been using this for over 4 months and it works perfect. Its small and compact, about the size of my palm. Data transfer is super fast and has no noise, great for portable backup or game storage.

Big bang in a little package.. I have a fast laptop but almost no HD space... I edit my videos linked to the files and it runs fine... I haven't noticed any difference in speed with the files being on the external drive so that was awesome.

Perfect for what I wanted it for. I haven't used it to backup all the data however so far it has been good. The only disappointing thing is that the driver software that comes along doesn't install on my windows 10 machine. But, it was plug and play and I am able to use the hard disk. So far things are going well.

Best storing device fast reliable and cheap. Really recommend

This is a really simple plug and play external hard drive that connects via USB.
