Great hard drive for a great deal. Easy plug and play. Use it for an Xbox One and have not had any problems.

Does not list the files in such a way you know each and every file on the back up. It just says, Documents. But not which ones

I bought this to provide an easy backup system for my Surface Pro tablet and camera photos. It’s light weight and works.

Good for most of my storage needs.
But if choosing again, I would have bought a drive that uses independent AC power. Unit requires powered USB hub to work with phone or tablet

Could not install software and WD was no help

I picked this item up yesterday. I plugged it in and tried to install the software. It got to 18% and froze. I tried several times with the same results. I contacted WD via chat and after several questions and waiting, I was told that I really didn't need to install the software. I could use the device via file explorer. I asked what the software would allow me to do and was told that it would allow me to trouble shoot. I am returning it today.

Purchased this one to replace one I've used for almost 10 years.
As the old WD, this one was "plug & play", and very easy to use.

It has a lot of storage on it, so I can hold my music and video files on it without taking up space on my computer. If I have to buy another one in the future for more storage, I will. This helps a lot.

Died within the first month, no ability to fix it.
Horrible product, maybe mine was defective? There's no room for error. Would not recommend.
Hello Sheltron, We recommend that you try connecting the drive to another computer using a different cable. If the drive creates same issue with another computer then open a ticket with the error screenshots if any at https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb our technical team will get in touch with you at the earliest.

Couldn't be happier with this external hard drive. My son needed it for his PS4 due to lack of memory because it gets used up so quickly.

I'm using this with my PS4 as I have the Beta 4.50 firmware that supports external USB for game storage. Games download to the external USB drive by default when that feature is enabled. The blue LED was bright but I turned the drive to face the wall.
