Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy setup and formatting. I use this as backup HD for my XBox One. I own three of these in various sizes and use them for my gaming consoles as the HD's are never big enough. Can't speak to any other use for PC's etc.

Fabulous. I have a lot of family photos and videos to store and it perfectly fits my needs. Totally recommend it

Great little portable drive. I use it when traveling as a storage space for movies. It's response time is good and works great!

Perfect for my original Xbox One since it only has 500GB of internal storage. Planning on purchasing the new Xbox One X soon and will be an easy transfer of data with this external hard drive. The best thing is, it's as simple as plugging the USB into the console; no external power source needed.

The WD easystore® 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive is a Best Buy exclusive that delivers high functionality at a very low price . This is a very fast, high capacity portable hard drive with backup software included at price comparable to bare bones small capacity drives that don't include any software.

Bought this for backing up several computers. It’s easy to set up but software is a little buggy. Hangs sometimes on shutdown. Hopefully a new version will come out and solve that problem soon. It is not a fast back up drive. It’s actually fairly slow but it does it’s purpose. Just schedule your backup and let it do it’s thing.

Good quality product works with my PS4. Easy to use plug and play.

I needed a external drive & I wanted one with at least 4-8TB. This one was on sale & I jumped on the opportunity. I haven't used it yet but its sole purpose will be to backup all my PS4 games. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who needs more storage for their consoles or PC.

Everything has been running smoothly up to this point. I haven’t had any issues.It is very simple and easy to figure out, with a simple YouTube video I was able to install it on my own. I use this for all of my photo shoots.

Works easily with MacBook Pro. It needed erasing as manufacturers packaging had indicated. The box instructions agreed with what I saw on my screen as I set it up and used it immediately after purchase. I've used it daily for a couple of weeks and it is reliable fast and just what I wanted.

Given the ever increasing size of some PC games these days (Warzone), this has been essential to have in tandem with my smaller SSD. I can run the game from this drive and never have to worry about space again.

Works really well on the series x, I was able to add so many games with very little difficulty compared to my old hard drive

This purchase was an afterthought. The price was good enough I would happily pay it. I use this USB external drive to run Linux on a computer that has Windows on its internal hard drive. The dual boot situation has worked well.

Best detachable hard drive I have ever bought would never buy anyone else.

Excellent for Retro gaming and storing large volumes of games and Emulators on. Building up an archive of games uses a large volume of space and this holds a good amount. Plug and play works great for what I needed. I always can trust WD.

Very good quality product from best buy, I wish all my products be form best buy.

I got this on Black Friday on a whim, went to Best Buy to get an external hard drive for my PS4. For 80 bucks, this thing is amazing. After formatting I had about 3.6TB of data available for my playstation, which is more than enough. I do not notice any difference in speed, it's great!

This disk worked out of the box with the provided USB cable. The price is very good for a compact, portable drive with 4TB. It is a little slow, but for the price, it is fine. I am concerned about losing the product-specific cable that came with the drive. It has a funny end that looks like it is probably a miniature version of an ATA cable. I have not looked to see if these can be purchased at stores, but if I lose or damage the cable, it looks like a WD mail order item.

Awesome product, easy to use. Would recommend others invest in this product to ensure their data is saved.

No reason not to buy multiples and have plenty of backup. The WD line of portable drives is solid. I've only had one out of six flat out fail and it saw lots of moving around so not unexpected.
