Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

I haven't bought one of these in over 10 years and I am amazed at how compact and fast they have gotten. Very happy with this purchase since I got it on sale and I feel like I got a great deal for the amount of storage provided. I use it as a backup for my laptop files and the transfer rates seem very good and it's plug and play, very easy to use. Would purchase again and WD is a trusted brand when it comes to these types of devices.

Works great. Compact. Put it in your pocket and go. I highly recommend as an external drive.

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.

I found these to be super easy to use. I always get nervous that I’ll lose the content due to other reviews but that hasn’t happened yet. Can be formatted easily to go between Mac and windows

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.

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.

I use it to store PS4 and PS5 games on my PS5 to save space internally. It does as it should and reads the games efficiently. Might need more space down the road but this is suffice enough.

Works amazing and have never given me any issues since purchased

The drive has performed well with no issues. Fast transfer speeds and I've had an easy time loading it with media files. Only weird thing is the software not being compatible with the Easystore product line.

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.

I have been using for months now as an external for my Mac for Premiere Pro projects. Fast saving and keeps my processing fast by not having saved files on the machine for caching issues. Small and easily accessible.

Great product ,small and portable .you can take it where ever you like with no problems.it fit in your pants and useful for backing your data anywhere..good for photographer.

Very good external drive; compact; and easy to use for a reasonable price.

I need it more hard drive space to back up my audio, pictures and video files, that I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by, I bought on sale and enjoy the ease of operation, just plug and play. DLC

lots space storage capacity easy to use works continuously to back up files

I will only buy WD products after a failed portable drive from another manufacture failed, and they wanted a minimum of $500 to even see if files could be recovered. I've never had an issue with WD products personally or at the CPA firm I work. Great sale made this one a no brainer!

I have quite a few of them - I do a lot of traveling and 4K video. This drive is perfect for traveling, it is fast, small size, reliable. Perfect to back up large files.
