Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed more space for backups and this was perfect. I have a MAC and always do a timeline backup. I love that this is portable. I would definitely recommend.

The WD backup software that comes with this drive is not anything to get excited about. However, the drive itself is top notch. My initial full backup was hitting speeds above 150 MB/sec. The sustained data rate was right between 100 - 120 MB/sec most of the time. I think this is extremely good performance based on my experience with external drives. When combined with decent backup software, or just offloading certain files and folders, this is a great option.

fast transfer rate, no buffering, a ton of storage and such an affordable price, a great way to back up your files.

Lots of storage. No issues in over a year since we've had it. Great amount of storage for games. Son uses it for his ps5 and has his entire ps4 collection in it! It can store ps5 games if you need the space BUT CANNOT run ps5 games. You'll need to swap it back to the internal ps5 drive.

I purchased this external because my previous one crashed suddenly and I lost everything on it. I decided on this one based on other reviews and it hasn’t disappointed. Quick setup, is compact, runs quietly and seems very efficient. No issues so far. The storage is huge obviously, not sure I needed 4TB but the cost was very reasonable.

Great so far. Was in stock in the store. Decent price. Easy to setup and use. Comes with backup software.

Best Buy had this item on discount for students. The discount also included a $20.00 gift card and that sold me. This is a reliable hard drive powered by USB!

I bought this as additional storage for my PS4. It worked perfectly. Very simple plug and play. I was able to set it as my default storage. Highly recommend

How can you beat the compactness of external drive that packs 4TB of memory and it is USB 3.0. You can back up your entire personal files (photos, music, tax files, etc..) and most likely will have more than 3 TB left on the drive. What else can we save on it? Nice to know we got an ample storage space that is going with you wherever and whenever you are going somewhere.

This external hard drive works great with my ps4 and x box one! I got this on sale and it works great! Super fast with usb 3.0 and it was worth every penny!

great value for the money, easy to setup and easy to reformat if you need to, a ton of space for a great price

Great little external drive! Easy to setup with my Mac and it has a ton of storage for such a small device.

I bought this for my PS4 Pro but I think I should have got a 5 terabyte because I'm out of space already. It plugged and played quite smoothly and it is still working quite well. Of course we all wish those cables would be longer but I just leave it sitting on top of the console that I lay flat instead of stand up. But I am glad I made this purchase. I'm glad when things like this are on sale too. I'm blessed that the purchases I make at Best Buy are of good quality.

Bought it for these large files back up on my computer. Works great and great price too. I am happy with my purchase. Exactly what I need. Thanks Best Buy!

Works like a charm. Easy to use, plenty of storage.

Basically plug and play. Easy to set up and use. Small size makes it easy to transport.

very easy to connect. My XBox recognized it right away and I was able to use the storage very short order.

4TB for $80. This was a steal. Early Black Friday deal and boy what a whopper. Turn up if you love 4TB for $80 that will fit into the palm of your hand

Great extra storage and easy to use. Bought for a gift

Set up was foolproof with the additional purchase of a USB Type-C to A adapter. I needed the adapter since I am running a Mac Mini M1. This external drive runs silently, unlike my others which make a whirring sound when the internal disks are spinning. The build seems solid enough and I hope it performs better than my last portable drive (not WD brand), which died suddenly and I lost all of my important work files.
