Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to set up. Reliable automatic back up. Totally a breeze and secure.

Great amount of storage but cant get it to format right

This hard drive exceeds my expectations. I have backed up all of my pictures and videos, as wee ll as my desktop computers's software and data and documents. It responds superbly when hooked upto my laptop. Plenty more space for more.

its a 2TB external HDD which I got for $49.99. its WD everything is good.

If you’re looking for a great external hard drive you’ve found it. It’s a great price and you’re getting what you pay for. My boyfriend absolutely loves it and hasn’t had any problems with it. I highly recommend!

We have lost data for the last time. This drive is very easy to setup. You can setup parameters of when you would like it to backup. Just plug in, setup, and no more lost data if your regular hard drive goes bad.

I purchased this external disk as a Time Machine disk for my grandson. He is currently attending his first semester at University at Buffalo. This drive worked well with no problems, Easy to format, add as a time machine drive ,etc.

I wanted something easy to use to transfer pictures from my computer and this was the right choice. I'm "technology challenged" and was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the job done but it was very easy. I highly recommend this hard drive.

i bout this to replace my current hard drive that is plugged into my Dish dvr box as there seems to be an issue with it. so far it has saved the movies to it without any issues it also had a nice price tag too!

Fast speed lightweight ease of use paid 59$ worth every penny.

best buy wants an immediate review and i suppose getting data onto the drive has been what one would expect. the real test is in how the drive performs over time - especially as there become more overwrites and limited free space. all of my wd drives have been internal drives and they have all held up pretty well. this is my first 2TB external and it is not quite a speedy as my external seagates but they are 1TB drives so i imagine that to be the major factor. but that is by no means a complaint, just a comparison that may be more apples to oranges than winesaps to granny smiths. at any rate, though i did so because of a requirement to end this post, i honestly could no more recommend than dissuade a purchase at this point. it's storing music files (hd wav & flac) and i have no complaints about playback performance even when playlists are culled from various albums that i assume to be scattered all over the drive. a better test might be to run films or video games but that is not why i bought the unit. if i lose a treasured album, then i'll be back with one heck of a review! otherwise, it's fine for my needs.

Be very careful because these hard drives can break easy slow down malfunction and other things but still great for backup

Bought it for my brother to use, works great. He says it holds as much as advertised; he even verified by putting it on the kitchen scale, weighed in at exactly 2TB. Another excellent product by Western Digital.

This drive come format with GPT partition so for those media player can not read that kind of partition ;you need to delete the partition and convert back into MBR partition and reformat. After that constant transfer speed at 95-100MB/sec.

Good item. Did not want to easily partition with my Mac but finally able to get it to work. Scored one on sale so I am happy

Just put it on my laptop, then disconnected it. Get reminders to plug it in again.

Bought this a month ago and have not had any issues. It took about 5 min to format and very self explanatory. Bought this item for my son to have extra space for his PS4 and he is happy. I would recommend.

Got it for the boy of the house.for his Xbox one he needed more space he love it now he doesn’t have to wait for long time during down loading games because it back up on new device

Easy plug and play external drive that works with USB 3.0 for decently fast speeds. Been using it for months to store Steam games I'm not currently playing in order to free up space on my desktop.

Great product and very easy to use. Needed a large drive and the price was good
