Customer Ratings & Reviews

Husband bought one with 4 TB and its been great to hold photos, download games and even movies. Love it so far and its super compact for traveling or even work.

Been using it for 2 plus years for video file storage and editing. Fast and reliable drive, exceptionally good considering its 10 bit 4-2-2 footage

I needed a storage for vids from my GoPro and Vlog cameras. Saw this. U have bought before I knew it was perfect. Now I empty all the cards into this after shooting. Fast connections and I can use the space to edit as well.

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.

The WD - Easystore 2TB External USB worked great on saving files from my old pc that was hacked. It was easy to add the files to my new pc.

The easystore® portable external hard drive is very easy to use. I did not need instructions. I just plugged it into a USB port on my laptop and it ran—truly plug and play! It is small enough to fit in my purse when I need to carry it with me. No external power is required.

We've started recording the proceedings of our annual convention, both audio and video, and this was a major help in transporting those files from the venue to the main office while keeping them secure.

The price was good. This drive is easy to use, fast , reliable, and can be formatted for PC or MAC. It is a great value if you need extra storage or a backup drive.

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.

I got this because I needed some extra space on my XBox One. All I literally had to do was plug it in, tell the system that it was for games, and now I have enough space for the games that I want instead of having to constantly delete them from my storage. It's that simple.

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.

This was exactly what I needed, a fraction of the size of a much older drive that I had with the same capacity.

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...

This hard drive was exactly what I needed. Transferring my large video projects to it was extremely simple and it's so compact, it's easy to store anywhere. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to store large files or many files.

Portable and compact way to store a full system back up. The price was really good and the case is heart and protective.

Great product at a reasonable price. I use this to store all of my court transcripts. Easy to use.

Needed some additional storage for my PS4 and got a great deal on this. Installation was a breeze. Would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for additional storage for their PS4.

This is indeed easy to use for storage, back ups, everything. I recommend it if you want your own back up of pics, files, music.

So compact and so useful for backing up files; especially when giving to my bookkeeping clients!

Purchased this as external storage for a PS5. Worked without any issues. Plug in, format and it's good to go. All my PS4 games now reside on my external drive freeing up space on the internal SSD. Highly recommend.
