    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.

    Been a great way to get all my pictures and documents off my computer. The only thing I'd suggest to those that have much more sensitive info is to get one that has a passcode.

    Great product. Bought two, one for my PS4 (holds so many games) and one for my laptop (school files, etc.). Easy to use, just be sure to format it to your device before using.

    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.

    I had a similar if not the same product purchased 2-3 yrs ago, went to back up my computer one day and external hard drive failed... not happy. I didn't really want to buy another WD product but it seems there are few competitors , and this was well-reviewed. No problems so far, only been a month. Very easy to set up, though as usual these days you have to find the product manual online.

    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!

    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.

    One of many backup hard drives. Not used every day but used over a long period of time. Not as fast as a SSD but quick enough over usb3. Good value for the money.
