Customer Ratings & Reviews

This portable external drive is easy to use and very easy to take with you. It is the size of a large bar of soap and delivers fast transfer of files. I highly recommend it. The price is excellent for a 4TB unit.

I bought one for my PS4 some time ago. This one I purchased for my Xbox. Both have been working great. I have zero to complain about. Both systems recognized them, formatted them, and I was setup and using the hard drives in no time.

4TB hard drive is enough for me to back up all my computers for offline storage. It worked fine, and seemed to have good write speeds. Hard to predict how long a drive like this will last, but I have never had a WD external drive fail.

Compact drive that holds a large amount of data. Instructions are available on how to format for use on Mac and PC. My only complaint is that the USB cable is custom to this drive, so losing or damaging it means going back to WD for replacement. WD should be using standard cables.

I’ve been using Western Digital drives for many years and I’ve never had any problems with them. I bought this for my Xbox One and works perfectly. Just plug and play, format it to save games. I will definitely buy another whenever I start filling up this unit. Highly recommended!

Bought multiple drives to back up pictures and documents. So far so good. Drives are small and work as expected.

In my opinion WD backup drives are the best in the industry. They are easy to install and are reliable.

Fast, affordable, and plenty of room — I ended up buying a couple more from this line. Just make sure you know how to set it up properly if you're using a Mac (very easy process using the Disc Utility app that all Macs have).

Good price. Fairly easy to use. Love the extra small size.

It is a USB spinning disk, so set expectations accordingly. It isn't going to be anywhere near as fast as an SSD, but this drive is perfect for backups. It has been reliable, and the price was terrific.

I am using this 4 TB external hard drive as a backup with my MacBook Pro Time Machine. It is fast enough for keeping the backup current, plus it has a great amount of space available. The price was great too!

Got this on Black Friday for an amazing price, could not pass it up and it does not disappoint, we need a lot of space for pictures and we buy one every year at Best Buy. Great quality, portable and the managing app that comes with it makes everything really easy.

This is exact what I needed. Small and compact. Easy to use and no more storing pics on my computer. This saves space in my computer and when ever I need anything it’s all in one spot!

I use the hard drive everyday. I have multiple computers that I save stuff to everyday so the hard drive is getting used. And the portable hard drive is being used from computer to computer.

Love the size. Slim design for the size hard drive. 3.0 works very well on both my laptop and desk top. Great for transferring files/videos and pictures between computers Would definitely recommend.

I purchased this drive with the intention of using it a number of locations so it had to be very portable which it is. The small size makes it easy to transport and the large 4tb capacity makes it ideal for storing large projects on the drive. A very good deal.

I use this to store videos I edit for my youtube channel. Very easy to setup and use. I had all my old videos transfered onto this one within a hour or two. Much faster snd quieter than my older disk drive hard drive.

Based on the new laptops with very little storage space, the WD - Easystore 4TB external portable hard drive is the PERFECT solution! So compact, easy, efficient, and effective for our pictures and videos.

The wD EasyStore drive is physically small enough but will hold enough data to make it convenient for laptop backups. I was pitting back ups off as I would have to unstore my larger drive and holder. The included backup software was easy to set up and use.

This is my second WD external drive. The first one has been backing up my system twice a day for the last 2 years without a glitch. This new one will be used for media on a PLEX server. These drives are easy to set up, small footprint and very dependable.
