    Bought the XBox One S a couple of years back. Didn’t realize that 500G would run out so quickly. This is a great external drive so far. Easy to connect and transferred all games over to this. No problems playing any of them off the drive either. It’s only been a few days but no problems noticed yet.

    WD Easy Store 4 TB External 3.0 Portable HD

    Don't be fooled by the DURABLE CONSTRUCTION PROTECTS AGAINST SHOCKS statement. I keep this drive in my drone case which has hard foam cut out slots for storage. Had the HD for less than a month and I transferred all my 'important' data to it and 2 weeks later the drive stopped working. SMART is coming up with errors. Definitely a physical error on the drive when I tried to run the Western Digital tools and my own software recovery utilities. Now I need to buy another drive to cannibalize to get my data off the original drive (THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ROOKIES!!). IF you are going to use a portable drive to back up data, get 2 and make 2 copies. Also I bought this drive at a great price at Best Buy but I should have gone with an SSD drive for my important information rather than a conventional platter drive. This drive is still under warranty with Western Digital but I need the information that is stuck on it so after doing what I need to do to get the information off of the drive, it will not longer be under warranty (along with the new drive I will have to use to get my information off the old drive).

    I've used several of these drives from WD over the years. They keep changing the name (now called "easystore"), but the quality is always there. I use them mainly as offline storage (in conjunction with backup CDs and a copies on a server), and I've had no problems plugging them in and retrieving the data when I need it.

    I own 2 HDD from WD now. This one is better then the first one I bought. Its more sleek and in spite of increasing the internal capacity to 4gb, WD was able to make it smaller in size. The last WD 1TB I bought is still working good and is not giving me any trouble. WD products are really long lasting and durable.

    My purpose for acquiring this 4TB hard drive was to dump data from several 500GB hard drives onto one. I must say, my setup is now much cleaner, and all of my data is handy and readily achievable. To note, this brand of drive (WD easy store) often goes on sale, which was the case for me when I purchased it.

    I own about 7 of these things and they’re all pretty solid. Only hiccups I’ve had on a few of them is a corrupt issue. And yes I know how to safely remove from computer before ejecting. But I’ve had two of the drives be corrupt
