    I purchased this in Oregon so $99 no sales tax. Excellent price. 4TB seems like plenty of storage since 2TB was plenty large. It works fine and I will probably lose it or have it stolen before it breaks.

    I purchased this 4TB external drive to hold 4k video footage for editing with Adobe Premiere CC and it works much better than I expected. Very low imprint of work space. Great product.

    Bought this on a sale to back up my laptop. It works fine but there was a problem initially formatting it with my mac OS. I used Western Digital's utility which was able to format it for the mac and then I was able to format it for the new mac file system using the mac disk utility. Now all is well. Works fine.

    Even though 4tb are enough space to store your collection of music, pictures, videos and personal files. The easystore as the elements series of external portable hard drives does no support hardware encryption. And this is a major downfall. You don't want to misplace or even worse loss your drive and then be totally exposed to consequences.

    Got it for a great price on sale. It’s a little slow, but will use it for backups, so I was more interested in capacity over speed.

    Underwhelming Portable Hard Drive Experience

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently acquired a portable hard drive with high hopes, but it failed to meet my expectations. The device's transfers were frustratingly slow, even for small files, leaving me disappointed. Additionally, the hard drive's bulkier form factor made it less portable than anticipated, which was inconvenient. On a positive note, the packaging was visually appealing, but it couldn't compensate for the shortcomings in performance and usability. In summary, this portable hard drive was a letdown due to its slow data transfers and a less-than-ideal form factor. Those prioritizing speed and true portability should explore other options.

    This is a great, USB powered external HD which is just the right size (both internally and externally). I highly recommend it. Lots of storage in not a lot of space and it won't break the bank.

    Plenty of space at a great price. I think WD makes the very best external hard drive’s. This item was delivered promptly and Best Buy had a great price for a wonderful product.

    Great portable drive

    I've had the drive for less than a month but have been using it for backups with no issues so far. Similar read/write speed as compared to other external hard drives, so speed has not been a problem. Sturdy build but a bit larger that my other 2TB portable drive. Could not pass up the great price at Best Buy.
