Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have 4 of these WD Hard drives and everyone is excellent They are Quiet ,Fast And reliable I highly recommend these to anyone who has valuable data to be stored or used daily.

It's an external hard drive. There's not much to say. It either works or it doesn't. This one works fine. Plug it in to a USB port and copy your files. Small and easy to use.

Excellent product. Good value for your money. Keep you files organized.

We buy a lot of these portable HDs and this store branded from Best Buy is as good as any of the more expensive brands.

Excellent, a True Work Horse, for Repetitive, even multi-week non-stop use. This Pro-level Drive absolutely Indispensible (WD is my Brand of choice, for Hard Drives. A few years ago, (believing SDDs would be better), I'd bought a Sans Disk 500 Gb USB Drive. It crashed on me, within months. I've had to re-formormat it twice, already. Upon further Research, I've learned a n Interesting Fact: "When Hard Drives begin going bad, they still give you time to either rebuild it, and/or move the Data from it, to another. (at least, that's what I've been able to do). Conversely, according to the source I found on the Net, (a Forum), I learned that SDDs do not give give you such a warning. Such is what happened to the Sans Disk. CONCLUSION: NO SDDs for me. I'm Happy with my five (5) "Western Digital" (WD) Hard Drives I've had, over the years. I buy no other brand.

Excellent hard drive. Compact and very portable. I prefer these to the external hard drives with separate power supplies. Think about a 4 gig unit

Great hard drive; lightweight, fast and efficient. Decided to partirion it to have better file management. Highly recommended for back ups.

Excellent drive for the money. Instructions could be a lot more informative however.

I've been using a variety of WD Easystore hard drives and they've performed just fine. As with any drive, they don't last forever, so be sure to keep at least two backups, and consider a cloud backup as well for critical files - don't put all your eggs in one basket! This one was for my Father-in-Law to back up his photos off his desktop, and it worked just fine. Not much more to say - I didn't use the backup software, just did a simple disk-to-disk copy. Recommended.

I was having problems with my Mac Mini, and I needed an external backup. Drove out to Best Buy a few minutes before closing, and with grave doubts, I explained my problem and asked the sales rep which drive I should buy. He pointed me to the WD Easystore. Large capacity, low price, good performance. I connected it to my Mac, formatted it for Time Machine, and it has worked flawlessly ever since.

Works well, easy to use, and always seem to need at least one every 2 years. A great present to give because everyone needs one of these.

The king of holding all your ps4 games on this hard drive if you have a ps5 because it holds alot of games that your ps5 cant until they release the harddrive for the ps5

Excellent value! Allows me to continually back up my data.

My wife shoots photography on the side. The pictures quickly fill up the hard drive on my older MacBook Pro. I bought this to help with storage while exporting/editing. It works great!

Works great. Copied a lot of data for work. I had 1.8Tb to copy and it ran out of space just before the final files copied so it’s more like 1.8TB useable space.

Love it, just what I needed to back up my laptop. Love Best Buy Geek Squad.

A Year in half later its still going strong. I can download any game i want no matter what file size. I have over 40 to 50 games installed with over 300 gbs left.

I highly recommnend this product because of the price point, great value

Very easy to use. It’s compact so it’s handy when I’m traveling. No power cords to mess with. I expect it to last since I only have it plugged in to the computer when I’m actually using it. I have another one that I’ve had for about a year. The sale price looked good so I picked this new one up as a second backup.

Solidly built, data transfers are smooth and as fast as you'll get with a 2.5" mechanical drive. Only downside is that the plug receptacle on the unit isn't a USB-C, but a USB-Micro with an additional side connector that I assume is for power; as such it doesn't come with a generic USB cable, and I'm not sure it can use one - a generic USB Micro cable will fit, but it might not deliver enough power to spin up the disk. As such you'll need to make sure to not lose the USB cable that comes with the unit.
