    The WD Easystore is small and very compact. Fits in any jacket pocket. I have been having reliable experience with the WD brand.

    WD - easystore® 4TB External USB 3.0 is an excellent Portable Hard Drive. It is very quiet and extremely fast. It is much better than the Seagate 2TB that it replaced after the Seagate stopped working after a short time of use.

    Works well, but a little slow

    I have bought five WD portable USB drives in the last year. This 4TB is stable and works well, but write speed is slower than the 1/2/3TB drives. I'm not sure if it is because of the capacity, but my other drives write much faster than this one. Read is comparable however. If you don't mind the slow write speeds (sometimes 3Mb/sec) using USB 3.0, then at $79 dollars it is a great value.

    I bought one of these three weeks ago which started throwing errors. Chkdsk revealed, and fixed bad sectors each time I ran it. With all the good experiences I have bad with Western Digital i decided to give them the benefit of the doubt, I will keep a close eye on this one Nd not recommend it to my friends yet.
