    I needed a USB backup drive. I plugged it in and it works. The only thing to be careful of when mixing drives from different manufacturers is that they don't always use the same drive letter. Once that is resolved, it is set it and forget it. Although any backup routine needs regular monitoring

    I purchased this item to transfer my iPhoto collection over to a new laptop. Unfortunately my older external drive was full. Converting the drive into a compatible device for Apple was easier than expected. The price for the storage space was a steal. I would purchase again .

    I’ve had much better luck with WD then any other manufacturer. I gave up on Seagate after multiple drive failures after only a short period of time. In contrast, I had 5 WD drives running 24 hrs a day for 15 years and only one recently started having issues. WD is the only brand I trust.

    Capable External HDD

    I have a 2 TB HDD system. With all the 20mp and larger images and video a 2 TB external USB portable HDD was insufficient. The Western Digital Easystore 4TB Portable Hard Drive gave me sufficient room to create a system image backup plus regular backups with Windows backup and File history. I still have room for approximately 2 TB of free space. The reason the review has 4 rather than 5 stars is because Western Digital lowered the number of years for the drive warranty.

    Bought this a s a gift for my grandson for extra storage for his PS4. He loves it because he takes his PS4 everywhere he goes and this makes it easier to take his saved games. He has the 500gb storage on his PS4. Not a lot of storage if you play a lot of games. Great for him.

    A solid portable drive

    I only purchased this 4 TB (actual size less, of course) model because I needed storage space for some 4k video files at work and it was on sale. It's a basic plastic encased hard drive that won't win any awards for transfer speed. Hasn't failed yet... crossing fingers. If you need a drive for professional work and not a temp solution, then I would look at Lacie or another rugged unit designed for heavy use.

    I am not that good with electronics, but I needed to remove some of my pictures from my phone. The process was easy and I was able to clear up a lot of space on my phone. My husband wants one now.
