My games from xbox live are piling up! The hard drive keeps up. Major games I differ back to the internal hard drive, but I have not experienced any problems with movies and games on the external hard drive!

Bought the external hard drive to hold my machine embroidery and quilting patterns. I freed up space on my computer and am able to take my patterns with me to classes and use their computer,

I don't use the hard drive regularly, so it's hard to say how it would perform as a daily use drive. However, it appears solidly built, is affordable, and has performed a few backups so far without issue.

Nice external hard drive and it is affordable price as well.

Everything went smoothly with the installation with no issues at all. The hard drive is being used as a backup and the included automatic backup utility seems to be working without any interruptions.

Caught it on sale so was good price. So far no problems.

I needed an external hard drive to store my photos, docs, etc. This device is truly "plug n play" and easy to use! I have two of them and plan to buy a 3rd as a back up.

This is a good deal for storage space, need more sales.

I purchased the WD portable hard drive for my son. He uses it to back up his data and carries it with him when needed. He has not had any complaints. He is still using it 2 years later.

More storage space for movies. I highly recommend this drive

Ii purchases this Western Digital external hard drive to use as a back up system for my new computer. I have used WD drives in the past and find them very reliable and easy to use.

I needed more hard drive storage for my files and movies.

Needed a new drive for back ups and this does the trick. Easy to use.

When I first plugged it in, it recognized the drive and I was setting it up to be my Time Machine backup drive. But during the process, the drive disappeared and it took me about two weeks of troubleshooting to get my Mac to recognize the drive. Finally got it working and it's been stable so far, but concerned if that issue will come up again.

Have found this drive to be very fast and stable. The initial data transfer was quick and all my backups take place without issues. I use this for continual backups of the software and data files on my desktop.

The drive was fast and easy to eject unlike my old passport drive.

Constantly running out of physical and digital room? This is perfect for you. There's 4TB of storage in a small form factor, great for travel or just when you don't want to clutter up the desk.

I purchased this to back up my computer. The WD back up software downloaded, makes this daily back up effortlessly. Great combination.

I have a few of these, and they are quick, reliable, and have a small footprint. I wish that it was a little more sturdy, maybe some bumpers to protect the drive, but it's plastic, and the price reflects that. The same drive in a metal enclosure would be much more expensive.

Very easy to use and stores photos and documents with ease
