    I bought this to use as extra storage for my PS4. It was simple to format and now all of my downloads go straight to the external hard drive. I haven’t had a problem with storage since I bought it.

    Purchased this item for my grandson and he was pleased. It's really great according to him, he does not have to delete games in order to download other games. With 2TB, there's plenty of space for more games. He sure couldn't thank me enough.

    Purchased the device on sale. Easy to use and very practical for saving files and pictures on laptop. It recognized the laptop easily and it's great for portability and transfer from one device to another.

    It did just what it was supposed to with all the extras for someone who had no clue how to do it! :) Happy customer! For the price when I got it, it was on sale a bit but it's still so user-friendly!!!!

    Bought this as additional storage to complement the SSD that came with the desktop. Easy USB connection and fast data transfer. Tiny size sits right on top of the computer and is basically unnoticeable.

    Needed a backup drive to store family photos. Having a backup copy of all digital photos on one drive which is portable is reassuring. Plenty of storage to handle all photos on various electronic devices.

    So far so good. This hard drive works very well, no issues. I use it to store movies, music and games. Not much else to say on it, it does what it advertises to do.

    When I set it up it said that there was an option to save items to the cloud. But when I click to activate (purchase) this additional feature, it said that feature was no longer available. It took me a while to figure out how to set up the regular backup because it prompted me to continuously activate and purchase the upgraded product and then would tell me it wasn't available and would close everything out. Since I worked out the kinks it appears to be doing its basic function

    I bought this for an AirTV DVR since it is one of the hard drives supported and tested by AirTV. I had an older WD hard drive but it was not on the supported list and caused the AirTV to overheat and reboot.

    I have a few of these for each of my computers. I used this one to transfer from one desktop to another my coworker saw it and when they had it on sale again I told him and he went right to Best Buy and got his own. He loves it.

    Super easy to use, plug and play. I have had it for a while now and had no issues. We only use it on occasion to do backups, so it is not having daily use. I use another one at my office that is used daily and no issues there either!

    I was looking for extra protection for backing up all of my GarageBand files. I’ve spent many hours creating all of these files an I would hate to see any of them get lost. This device is the solution for my peace of mind.
