Works perfect, amazing size 4TB and great price in Best Buy

Western Digital makes great products. Consistent and reliable. Easy to use. Provides excellent storage capacity to back up critical data. Easily and fairly quickly backed up about 18,000 photographs as well as other files.

easy to setup and use. Great size unlike comparable brand.

It's compact, fast, cheap and overall easy. Very good one.

There are so many important documents, photos, etc., on my computer that the thought of losing them is very unsettling. Therefore, I back up my data on a regular basis. I've used many types of media for backups over the years, but things have become so much easier since external hard drives became available and affordable. I do temporary weekly and monthly backups (they are written over the next week or month) on external hard drives. I do semi-annual permanent backups on DVD. DVD's are a problem. Although I don't have a huge amount of data like some people do, I have accumulated enough that I'm now up to 8 DVD's for each backup, making it painful and time-consuming to do backups. Then, I have to store all of these DVD's. Now, I find that some of my oldest DVD's are going bad. Definitely time to change media. This 4T drive has solved my problem. I can keep many years worth of permanent backups on this drive and do away with the DVD's. It's simple to do a backup by simply dragging and dropping the folders I want to backup. Yes, I understand that hard drives can fail (been there, done that), so I do have a few archives in other places to protect my data. This is my 5th external hard drive, and they are all WD drives. I have never had a problem with any of them. Even though some of them are getting to be "long in the tooth", they still perform flawlessly. If you need a lot of storage space, I recommend this drive.

Super small, works with Xbox one x, loads quickly as well.

No problems so far. Portable form factor, but holds a ton!

Works like a charm and easy to use. A steal at this price.

I got this product in a very good deal and it's excellent.

Used to be a Seagate fan, but I have to say Western Digital has come a long way. Connected to a 13 year old computer on USB 3.0. Wow this thing is fast, no wait for opening a 7gb folder of wedding pics anymore. Truly plug and play.

I purchased this external hard drive on sale. It packs 4TB into a small package. Installation is easy and it delivers solid, trouble-free data back-up performance. Tech support is adequate.

Compact, reliable, well priced. Overall excellent purchase.

I have a couple of these drives - this 4TB version for my PS4 and an older 5TB version for my PS5. Overall great options for adding extra storage to Sony consoles. Not the fastest drives, but I’ll transfer games I’m currently playing to the system storage for speed.

Bought this because I need to backup years worth of photos and videos from google photos. I have completed that and the drive have worked perfectly with no issues at all. I’m happy with it performance.

Small / compact and 4 TB / large amount of storage. Fast.

Lightweight and friendly price. I needed to share about a 2TB of important data. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a trunk of hard drives on the highway.

Easy to access, good working, nice product, good in shape

Great hard drive. It works with my macbook as well as my chromebook. Easy instructions to use. It is also affordable. You do have to reformat drive to make it work with macbook but it was easy to complete the task.

Works like a charm. This is my 2nd one. Easy to use easy to setup

I use this to back up my back ups. I needed a larger drive for this purpose and this was perfect. The drive itself is quite compact given it's 4TB capacity. It works well and I have very little delay when searching the drive for photos I need. The speed of this drive vs. my SSD hasn't slowed me down any. I would recommend this drive if you just need some storage for back up. Due to the size and mobility of the drive I would recommend it as a great drive for traveling with. If you need a dedicated home back up drive you could use this. However, I would pick something a bit lager (physically) for home back up if your using it daily. This would be better suited as an intermittent back up of your back up.
