Customer Ratings & Reviews

It doesn’t matter if you’re not good with computers; this is very easy to use. Get this to give yourself the peace of making sure you don’t lose your files. There is a lot of space to keep everything you want. This is definitely useful.

I am writing in my diary daily using the easystore USB 3.0. I had accidentally erased 17 yrs. of my diary on "a free online diary." and by keeping it on here, I understand that I will not lose it. I am counting on that.

Super easy to use. Super price. I buy them to keep them on hand when they go on sale & it's amazing how handy they are for everyone in the house to do their various projects with.

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.

Seems to work well. Needed to backup PC during Best Buy Trouble shooting

So far, so Good, I've bought 3 (or 4, I've lost count) of these. They seem to work okay. I do have a beef with WD as a manufacturer: I don't understand why there are vast differences in durability, longevity, reliability, and quality within the WD Brand of drives. (I had a couple of WD Passports, which died within months of my purchasing them. These I do not recommend). My Drives Soap Box: Considering how dependent on Technology, and rising Storage needs, we are (and I don't foresee it returning to smaller storage needs)--and especially if one does not wish to rely on "Cloud Storage," outside our home--it's ultra important to have good quality, reliable, durable, (did I mention reliable? Did I mention durable?) drives, available at reasonable prices. By Reliable I mean several years of durability. My first WD drive purchase (a WD PP III Studio II 320 Gb FW external), is already 11 years old, and still works. It also does have two different modes of connecting with my 2011 and 2012 Macs (Firewire, and Micro USB-to-USB), a feature I wish more drives had. I wish it was still available. As for the 3 EasyStore Drives, they're already nearly 1 year old, and they *appear* reliable. Lets hope they don't disappoint me, for I'm about to invest on yet a 5th (2Tb) one...

As always great hard drive for backing up images, files, etc. Works great with the laptop and stores well in fireproof safe to keep special memories extra safe

Is a good deal for to have a enough space and is portable

I used this portable drive to back up my dad's old Macbook in order to update his OS. I also partitioned the drive so he can easily use it as a USB to drag whatever files he wants. Works great and no issues at the moment.

Western Digital makes the most reliable HDD hands down. That bring said you have less chance of failure with their SSD as there are no moving parts, but high Capacity of Solid State Drives such as a 10 TB are not yet available. So the solution is to use the SSD as your startup drive and redundant HDD as your storage drives. Your selection choices are important - you want a HDD drive that has a good chance of being around for at least 3 years, and need a backup drive and/or cloud storage. WD As a pro photographer, WD remains my top choice for most reliable HDD, and SSD, and I have had bad experiences with other brands. If any HDD drive fails and you are not backed up, recovery is both costly, and time consuming if possible at all - so do all you can to reduce that risk.

I store photos from my phone on my computer...and computer storage fills up. And sometimes computers crash. This is a great little external hard drive to plug in and backup all those memories! And it’s small...so it doesn’t take up much room to store or carry with you. Great purchase!

Nice and compact, holds all my data. Easy to use and transport.

Nice and small with lots of memory. I want to be able to save all my files onto it so I can use both my laptops.

Good product, great price, and so easy to use. Exactly what we needed!

Great pick easy to use! Definitely a great buy would buy again

Great quality and accessibility, holds a bunch of data

I bought many WD 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drives from Best Buy and all have worked very well in storing files and photos. I'd recommend them especially since the price is usually very reasonable

I was holding off on purchasing an external hard drive for my gaming system because I thought it was too pricey and it will be too complicated to use. However this item was a good bargain at under $60 and super easy to use. Nice.

Bought to use for backing up my PC. Needed more storage space and used this as an upgrade. So far so good, no complaints. Easy Plug and Play and have had no issues with using it as a backup drive.

Solid portable hard drive. This may not be the crème de la crème of Portable Hard Drives, but it definitely gets the job done. I think of this hard drive as the work horse Toyota Corolla, it doesn't have the fancy pancy heated and cooled cup holders, the ambient lighting, the large touchscreen and the 97 position powered seats. It's reliable, no frills, and gets the job done.
