Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use WD most of the time for my backups, aside from SanDisk and Seagate. But when you have a large storage device like this, they're very convenient for backing up your Desktop or Laptop while you use it in case you're afraid of it crashing while using it.

Simple easy to setup and use no problems exact I had to delete misc "tools" on the drive.

All in all, this is a good purchase. I paid a little less than $100 for 4TB of storage. It is very fast and quiet. The only downside is that it requires a power adapter.

I've used WD hard drives for years and would recommend; very reliable and reasonably priced

from what i saw on this product it was great then when ibused it it lived upto its name

At beginning, there is a problem for formatting at iMac. It works later at my MacBook.

This external HDD contains WD NAS Red drive, a perfect drive for internal storage or NAS. I have been eyeing on this product for a perfect price and snagged it for <$100. There are many Youtube instructions for you to follow, if you wish to take the drive out of the shell.

Got this on sale. USB 3 transfer speeds are much faster than an older hard drive I had.

How can you go wrong with a Western Digital drive? This is performing as expected. It is perfect to back up all 5 of my computers to save off line so they are safe from ransomware. I highly recommend, not only this drive, but I also recommend getting it from Best Buy.

Finally i can consolidate all my little HD's to one location. Wish it did not have to be connected to AC but it is nice that it shuts down with PC (not like my older/smaller HD's). So far plenty of space. I did not measure the actual transfer rate but did expect it to be a little faster. All in all I'm satisfied after all it is just for secondary storage and the price was right.

Got this at a great price and it meets my needs. Very happy with HD external drives.

I originally bought one for me but they are so easy to setup and fast for backup and retrieval with the USB3 speed that I bought another one for my son and one for another family member. Thanks Western Digital, you keep up the good products and I'll keep buying them.

Great external drive for photos and videos. The included software makes everything east to setup. The 8tb has the WD red drives but I'm not sure about this one.

Purchased 500g Xbox One S for Son, Christmas ‘16. Got ALMOST to a calendar year before necessity dictated that an Ext HD be acquired. This’n satisfied the need.

Love the piece of mind of having another copy of my most important files. Of course, you should include an offsite option in your backup strategy. Having this is part of the solution. Fast, quiet, good value.

Purchased alongside my Xbox One X and now I have room for all my games. I even bought some new games just because I now have the space for all of them on my Xbox. If you game, you will need this - especially now that games take up almost 100GB of space.

I have had nothing but bad luck with western digital. Every time I have purchased a passport or other product, they die within a year and are pretty slow. This easy store was originally 200 dollars and I only paid 89.99 for it. Excellent deal and the USB 3.0 is great. Transferred 110 gb of game captured footage in about 5 minutes. I also love the 2 year warranty from WD. Good product.

My Xbox One was out of space and I saw this drive on sale, so figured give it a shot. It was easy to set up and worked great, asthetically works pretty well too! Only slight complaint is I wish I could disable the standby LED, but that's just a small gripe!

I have had this for an very short time . Has been operating as advertised , so far.

I purchased this hard drive for my XBOX One. Games load faster than internal drive.
