    Used this to store pictures and videos that are taking up storage on my 500 GB laptop. Works great, have been able to open and view MP4 files with no issues. Pretty decent price compared to alternatives as well.

    This works with the PlayStation five I was able to plug it in and format the hard drive to work on my PS five now I still have room for all the new games because this took all of my PlayStation 4 games! I have lots of PS4 game on it with a lot of more space!

    Very lightweight and a great price as a portable backup of all of the files that I am constantly protecting. I have another 5TB drive of this exact make that has been in use for over a year and it still works dependably. Phantom powered so even better than other external drives.

    Brought it home and put it right to work. Very simple to use and works great. I'm very serious in that it took less than 2 minutes to be up and running. This is my second one, my first I use for a recovery drive and this one is for data backup.

    These are such a great deal! I’ve had a previous easy store hard drive for the last five years or so and it’s still going strong. This one is the same size (2TB) but they’ve made it much slimmer than it was when I bought the older one back in 2015! It’s even more portable now which is great!

    probably the fastest way to add storage to your computer, just plug in and go. Win 10 will do everything quick and the drive can be used for whatever you need to store outside of your main drive. you can also use it as a backup drive with the software off the WD website.

    So far seems to meet my needs for external data storage. Large 2TB capacity and slim design makes it easily carried on person or stowed in briefcase, backpack or other satchel.

    Great experience from beginning to end. We purchased an external hard drive for our computer. The experience took less than 20 minutes. We explained to the salesman what features we were looking for and he showed us several makes and models. He did not try to pressure us into one of the models. The price was reasonable and the service was amazing. I Recommend buying your next Computer or Storage hardware from Best Buy.

    This drive was a godsend. I was notified that my school google drive exceeded its limit and I needed a fast solution. I easily moved all my google files to the drive for safe keeping. I carry it with me to use at home, work or school.
