Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very nice external. It is a bit bulky, so consider either a case or just leaving it in your office.

I went shopping for a large external HD to back up my videos, and the WD Easy Store 4TB fits the bill (in addition to being priced right). However, the first one I bought was dead on arrival at home. Best Buy had no problem with returning it, and they managed to find one more of it. I swapped for the new one, got it home, and have been very satisfied ever since. I would suggest that, if possible, you take yours to the Geek Squad desk and have them verify that it works. Assuming that it isn't "after hours" they should be able to accommodate you. I can't rate it a 5 due to the first drive, but the second one is chugging right along (and it is a USB3 connection).

good drive and good price. Small and simple to use.

We got this to expand the storage for our Xbox One. It was so easy just plug & play!

I simply plugged it into my PS4, chose the reformat option, and within 10 minutes, I had already moved a 40 GB game onto it. My original PS4 is now about 4.5 TB.

size is small and it works faster than my old one. USB 3.0 is great.

This is an excellent portable external disk drive. With 4 TB there is ample room to back-up a system image and save various versions of your most precious files by date. Takes a while if you have a lot of storage on your PC, but just set it and forget it! Good buy!

Plenty of space and very portable. storge your pictures and data

This HD is real easy to use as it is plug and play! Comes with a lot of storage also.

I have had the drive for about 2 months and use it to hold nightly backups of my Windows 10 PC. It is easy to install, just plug in the USB cable (included) and install the software. There is a backup program provided by WD but I just use the Windows backup. The drive is powered by the USB port so there is no external power supply or power plug. I have not had any problems with the drive.

Purchased this to upgrade the memory on my Xbox One. At under $80 for 4 TB I couldn't pass it up (pre black friday sales). Works great, would highly recommend.

Have lost data before so I love the ease of mind of having an extra backup hard drive. Data transfer is also very fast

needed a backup because i was getting rid of an old computer. backed up pictures and documents very quickly.

Excellent Performance. Plenty of storage (4 TBs). A good bang for the bucks.

This hard drive added much needed space to my xbox one X and the price was great.

Small, quite and fast. Great 4GB drive for the price. Would definitely buy again.

Bought this for school. Fast transfer speed, very compact, and easy to use

Purchased this as a replacement for my previous storage device, and so far it has been working very well. Obviously with external hard drives, we'll have to see whether the quality and functionality continues to work as expected, but the speed and connection seem to be quite good so far.

Love this, has a lot of capacity, love the compact size. Copied data quickly.

One never knows how effective a backup drive is until the unfortunate day when you lost all your data and that is when you get to use the restore software that comes with the hard drive. I have thankfully not reached this point. With regard to the backup part of the software, so far it is not backing up my data according to the schedule I set. The directions say to set your schedule and then backup immediately. After this initial backup the software is supposed to back up according to your schedule. So far this has not happened once. Every week I check it and it says "missed backup" and the day it was supposed to run the backup. I cannot get it to work so I backup manually since I cannot rely on the software to run this task. Hopefully it will restore my data should the day come when I need it.
