    This is easy to install, easy to use, has all the storage capacity I need and is really small, so packing it with my laptop is a breeze. Western Digital has produced reliable products for more than thirty years.

    I trust WD hard drives to keep my data safe and secure. I own several external hard drives and WD is the best. This 4TB Easystore is small, light and super easy to transport and connect to other computers.

    Good portable hard drive I use it to store my programs and take it with me on the fly like when we take vacations. But it's for terabyte and small enough to fit in my backpack so no complaints.

    Got this external hard drive during Best Buy Black Friday sales. I have been eyeing for 4TB hard drive and very glad that I was able to get one at good price. Seagate portable hard drives are reliable and the transfer speed is good. I recommend this product.

    This little external is lightweight, but durable and small enough to put in your pocket. It's pretty cheap for a 4TB drive but still has the quality you'd expect from Western Digital. Super happy with this. I expect it to last as others WD External HDD..

    Good portable HDD and also worth the price as it often drops to $100 dollars or bellow. If you can get one of these for that price or less, then it's a really good deal. Use these for my PS4 and Xbox One and haven't had any issues with them.

    This drive is small and compact. It’s very light and modular, not to mention it’s 4TB. The price was outstanding when I bought it during Black Friday. It was well worth the purchase. Don’t forget to buy the protective case. Buy this drive!!!

    Great External HDD @ Great Price

    I bought this over Black Friday 2017 for 4k gaming storage on my Xbox One X. I bought the 4TB version since it was on sale for only $79.99 which is just a insanely great price for 4tb. I have a 1tb 7200rpm WD ive been using for 3yrs so i hope this one can last as long. So far buikd quality is good and this drive has some weight to it. The drives disc speed is only 5400rpm but it is USB 3.0 so read and write speeds seem to be better then most as all WD external HDD usually are. I have the 4tb and 1tb HDD pluged into a #4 Port Sabrent USB 3.0 Powered Hub and I replaced both their stock Type A to Micro B cables with premium gold plated UGreen Micro B cables, but overall im very happy with this buy and for $79.99 im not complaining ecspecially since i almost bought the green Seagate Game Drive 4tb for $120. Highly Recommended

    I bought this one by mistake because it was such a good deal. I previously had purchased one of these and still haven't gotten around to filling it up. Backed up tens of thousands photos and many music files with tons of room to spare. Small, portable, inexpensive what's not to like.

    The harddrive is super small, but its a 4TB drive on the inside. It has USB3.0 so its also Ultra FAST. My only gripe is that it uses a Western Digital Cable. It'll be hard to replace incase u lose it.

    Great for PS4

    I have one of the original PS4 models that came with only 500GB. I often ran into issues with saving game data and games to the hard drive for lack of space. After researching external hard drives that were compatible with my PS4, I came across this one. Not only does it come in large space options, but set up was super easy. I got the 4TB model. I was able to easily move data from PS4 to this hard drive. It's small, quiet, and lightweight. It has a small white light on the front that is solid unless data is being transferred, at which point it will blink. I highly recommend this drive to anyone wanting extra space. I was also able to get this at a GREAT Black Friday sale too!

    Amazing little drive

    I previously bought a WD My Passport Ultra Metal Edition as a backup drive for my PS4. I had been using an old WD MyBook drive which was clunky and a bother to set up to get a backup and took a chance with the smaller drive. I loved it, so simple, so small, bus powered. It was perfect for my gaming system. When I decided to get a backup for my Mac I was shopping for the same My Passport but couldn't find it or couldn't find in the capacity needed. Browsing Best Buy I found this comparable one that seemed the same but differently named. I decided to try it. I have an internal drive in my Mac that does backups but I wanted something external with easy mobility. I've considered some time to have a secondary backup I keep off site in case of a catastrophe. For this purpose, and really any mobile use, this is a nice drive! I've had issues with WD drives in the past but both this and the MyPassport have done me well so far. Great capacity in a small package and I'm impressed with the speed (I cannot find any documentation on the actual speed of the drive inside). Using a Mac, I have to reformat the drive but it was simple, as always. It's also quiet, the click of the head maybe when it is ejected from the computer. So far, I don't have any negatives to point out. Two words: capacity, mobility. With laptops slimmed down these days with fast but limited SSD storage a drive like this is perfect if you want to take your entire music library with you, or videos on the go or, like me, want a easy way to backup any device you have and use.

    I purchased this portable external drive impulsively on Black Friday. I like to have several backups of my data, especially for my cherished travel photos. This drive had a generous capacity and a very attractive price on Black Friday. I couldn't pass it up. It is perfect as a storage solution for the data on my Apple MacBook Pro. It is fast and flawless. Its diminutive size means that it takes up little real estate on my desk. It is a great buy.
