    I bought this to store my excess data and to use it to stream content to my Plex server. It has worked flawlessly for me so far (I've been using it about a month). It has been very quick to copy to and to read from using a USB 3.0.

    So far I’m very pleased with this external HD. Works as promised, right out of the box. Perfect as a daily backup or to move over and save extra files off of your system. Very pleased.

    This is so easy to use, plug in and transfer.. my 6 year old niece could figure this out. I bought this for my Xbox Project Scorpio. It is more than enough storage for my few games (20 or so).. I still have excess of 2 1/2 tb left.

    I use it for my Time Machine back up and divided the Drives in 3 parts for easy storage for MAC or Windows. Works with both Windows or MAC. Great performance and portable.

    I think Best Buy offered very reasonable rate for the hard drive. Lowest in price among all other vendors without compromise in quality. I think the wd case along with this product makes a trendy pair that too at discounted price

    Can’t believe it’s given my computer 4T extra capacity and fits in the palm of my hand! Only took a few minutes to format it for MAC computer (directions were very clear). Speed in uploading and transferring large amounts of data (errorless) is quite impressive, especially on my 19-year old iMac! Also easy to segment for efficient space allocation. Should be fine for anyone needing to use it in portability mode situations as well. Can’t report on longevity.

    I was looking for an external drive to store all my digital pictures on. This is a very nice size and portable if you need it to be. So far it seems to work well. When I set it up I did set it up to work with a windows or Mac.

    This drive just works. Not much to say. Works on PC and Mac as I have NTFS drivers for write on my Mac. One can easily reformat to Mac OS if needed though.

    2nd Drive, Bigger Capacity, Perfect for XBox One!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is the 2nd of these Hard Drives I've purchased (previous 1TB, 2+ years strong). Perfect for XBox One! Works in a non-insulated additional room in the California summer with no air conditioning, sitting right next to the Xbox One's vents. Have all of our games on this new drive with plenty of space remaining. Have been using Western Digital drives as far back as I can remember, never had any issues, still have several that continue to work at well over a decade. Will be buying another soon for file consolidation.

    I like the fact that you can back up your files automatically and the small size which doesn’t take up much room. The installation instructions were inadequate but I finally was able to get it to work. I have a different brand I bought several years ago for my MAC and it was a lot easier to set up.

    on our old machine we only see 2T. There are actually 3.7TiB = 4.000TB so we got what we paid for. For each of these machines, we just take it out of the box, plug it in and it works. Already formatted - a huge time saver.

    it's been on my bucket list for a while, and finally took the plunge and buy one recently. i love the design, it's a tiny, portable device that holds a ton of room. They put it on sale, and I did not think twice and got it.

    This drive came promptly, looks great, and was a great deal for the size. My router has media server capability, so I have it plugged into the router sharing video and music. Haven't had any issues, and strongly recommend.

    USB storage for PS4

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was looking for additional storage for my PS4 as loading all of my games didn't leave any memory. This is a 4 TB storage unit and I was able to plug it in and easily formatted it and then moved all of my games to this external hard drive. After moving all of my games to the external hard drive, I still have over 3 TB left of storage to be able to purchase and store future games. Without this, I had to uninstall some games or my 500 GB game system storage would have been more than over the storage limit. The only drawback is that it plugs into one of the USB ports on the front (has to be plugged in all of the time) and only leaves one USB port free for controllers - if you wanted to keep charging both controllers as you are playing, you can no longer do that.

    I have used WD products for years and the Easystore is so easy to setup and use. The size is small so it is easy to carry in a pocket or laptop case. I deal product if one needs extra storage for their computer on the go.
