Fantastic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this extern all hard drive to expand the memory for my PS4. It connected right away and was easy to initialize. I have been using it for about a week now With no issues. The only drawback is that I wish the power cord was a little longer. That's not a knock on the cord, it's just my nearest available outlet is pretty far from the console.

Very good but caused a scare
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.been using this hard drive to move large photo and video files from my computer hard drive to the external. It's been working exactly as it should, except for the first time I left my computer idle, then returned the hard drive was blank. Completely blank. After freaking out and thinking every photo I'd ever taken was gone forever, I unplugged everything and restarted my computer and the items were still there. I don't know why it did that, and continues to do that and need to be unplugged then plugged back in but other than that it is perfect.

easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.WD was recommended by an IT consultant and I read several articles before deciding that this would fit my needs. It was very easy to install and use. The format is not complicated. One can update files on a schedule or manually, or even drag and drop individual folder and/or files. Restoring is also quite easy and can be achieved by drag and drop or through a command from the home window. I have had no problems and would recommend this system!

Easy Setup - Works as anticpated
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use the WD - easystore® 4TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive to make multiple backups of my work data files. Setup was easy. My Windows 10 Professional PC recognized the device automatically and installed it. The device it replaced interjected a notice you had to click off before loading other applications. This one doesn't. There was no problem using a 3rd party backup software. The device is small and unobtrusive both in appearance and use.

Works well right out of the box on Win10
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comes with useful utilities. Beware that the max capacity is 3.63TB, not 4TB. This is the same product as Western Digital My Book. For some reason, BestBuy sells it as WD easyStore.

Super Easy to Use
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this because I wanted to get all of our pictures and tax information and all this extra crap that we keep on our phones and laptops onto an actual drive that would allow us to have faster processing. It's super easy to use which is also great. I'm really glad I purchased this.
