Customer Ratings & Reviews

The included software from WD is not being supported shortly so I needed to find, download and install a version of Acronis sofware to set up my backup regimen. I'm sure newly produced hardware will have the newer software available by default. Otherwise, a quality product by a quality manufacturer.

Purchased it for my daughter who is in college, and her laptop storage is full. This external hard drive is working perfectly for her to store her work until she gets an upgraded laptop,

Bought to keep everything from going into my hardrive. Working good so far

Needed a new back up drive for the home computer. Makes life simple when transferring files to a new computer or in the event of a hard drive failure.

So far works like a charm. I transfer photos from my iPhone to here and it works exactly how I would expect it to.

I think this is a very nice external hard drive.....I have it backing up both my pc and a mac....I hope it provides alot of years of trouble free service...time will certainly tell!

I bought this because the storage on my PS4 was nearly full with downloaded games. It could not have been easier to install. Plugged it into the PS4 and followed the prompts. I moved about 500GB from internal to external, and all of my newly downloaded games automatically go to the external. It does seem a little slower at loading games, but that's a fair trade-off for tripling my overall storage, and you can always move an individual game back to the internal if you wish.

A life saver when my lap top was on the verge of crashing!

This is a solid hard drive. 2 TB it's great! Western digital is a solid company with quality products. have been using these hard drives for years and no problems.

Very easy and quick transfers between my laptop or all-in-one to the external drive. Very light weight. Exactly what I need for storing videos, etc.

I was looking for an external hard drive to backup my computer. This one was the right size, right price, and a reliable brand.

Definitely a must have if you’re a gamer originally purchased for additional space on a PS4 then transferred the data to the PS5 and it still works flawlessly.

it did what it was supposed to do, I transferred information and saved it, over, done, no big thing

Purchased this for my son for his PS4 for his game storage. This is great to store all of his games now he doesn't have to delete them like he was doing. He loves it, would recommend.

Very easy to plug in and use. Transfered all my data from my c drive, and cloud services to this. Allows me to look at pictures i want and delete the rest.

I was running out of space on my laptop so needed a hard drive for backup of tons of pictures and documents, etc. This drive did the trick...easy to use and has ample storage.

It was easy to format and I use it weekly. It is very satisfactory for my purposes.

I was looking for a good portable hard drive that was reliable and was easy to get setup without any problems. So far I've had 0 problems with it and with its size it is easy to store and I can leave it plugged into my computer without it even being noticed

Very happy with product I was able to keep my saved data once my computer crashed

WD external hard drives have always been my go-to for backing up my home and work computers. Haven’t had one fail in 20 years. And on sale it’s a better deal.
