Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had no problem setting up this new WD back up external drive. So far, (about one week's work of activity) it is working very well. It does not organize the material saved as well as I would like but as long as I can find copies of everything in case of some computer disaster or to take with me on my travels, that will be sufficient.

Very compact for a 4 terabyte storage united. Perfect as a portable storage device.

Perfect for use as Xbox one extra storage. My Son said he just plugged it in and Xbox asked him if wanted to save games on it.

This backup drive was big enough to partition and VERY easy to setup for use with BOTH Mac & PC. Also easier to use regularly since it draws power from the computer rather than from AC power cord.

Best Buy does it again! In an effort to easy Black Friday shopping they reduce prices and I was in the market for a 4tb portable external HD. I have been using this drive for 4 months now and haven't put a dent into the total storage space. The drive perform flawlessly! It's quick & quiet and allows me to back up important contact from my desktop and 2 laptop computer. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Great price for the size! Got this on a sale. Western Digital devices are highly reliable

I recently had an update that corrupted my hard drive on an older laptop. Fortunately I had a backup that saved my data. I purchased this new external hard drive to have an additional backup since my older one was failing. I can't say enough good things about this new WD-Easy store...easy to use & gives me peace of mind. Thanks Geek Squad for recommending it to me!

This is a backup to my back up! Love the storage amount and the size and speed.

I got two of these at a great price. One for my PS4 and one for my PC. Works great with both.

Great external drive. I only gave it four out of five stars do too I was hoping that was going to be a serial hard drive instead of a traditional. I would still recommend buying it because it’s a good fast and solid external drive.

Small hard drive, storage capacity is very large.My photo video can be stored using it.

Quite fast and low power. Using it for digital movie and TV storage Works very well. This is the second HD like this I've bought - mainly because the first works so well.

Nice space with 4TB. Easy to set up. Easy to back up my macbook air.

I bought 6 of these drives because they have stable tranfer speed about 95MB/sec. They do not require extra power source to play with media player or TV player as well.

Easy to use, comfortable and has a good design. It’s light.

I bought this to transfer games from my Xbox one to my Xbox one x and use it for extra storage space for my games. The transfer was fast and worked without any problems.

This is my review of WD - easystore® 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black. I was so pleased to get this during a daily deal sale. I use a WD 2TB and a Toshiba 1TB external portable hard drive and I love, love, love them both. I researched WD and was pleased with the high ratings on several independent sites...so I jumped on the chance to pick up this one. . I purchased it to keep on the shelf as a back-up to the back-up since no hard drive is going to last forever. But we've decided to use it now to back up video games, and I can still put it into service when my 6 year old WD eventually says "I'm done". The quick loading speed comes in very handy since I do frequent back-ups. I also recommend getting a good, sturdy zippered case to hold it if you are going to take it with you anywhere. I have 1 sturdy case and splurged on one waterproof sturdy case (Lacdo). Be aware where you 'put' them during uploads/downloads as these puppies do get very warm. So I wouldn't leave them zipped up inside the case with the cord sticking out for example (during data transfer, that is). The usb cord is very sturdy, too by the way.

Seems to work well thus far. I originally purchased 2 of these. One to use with my Xbox One S & one to use with my Dell laptop. I returned the one for my Xbox One S because though its game load speeds were comparable, it was a bit slower than my WD My Passport Ultra I purchased a couple years back (The old version). I decided to keep the one for my laptop and it is working well thus far. I had to configure it in disk management before I was able to use it though (I don't know whether this is because I had originally formatted it for Xbox One or is a requirement from the start). Overall I am happy with this drive. It looks nice, performs fairly well, and for $100 isn't bad at all.

This hard drive was an excellent price for the storage. Small and very compact.

The file transfer is quite fast. The software for backup and file management are very easy to use and very reliable!
