Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent hard drive. Works as expected. Also most western digital hard drives are backwards compatible on the USB ports. I love western digital products.

This drive has issues with always mounting. If you don’t eject it properly it can take almost an hour to mount. This problem does not happen with a pc. Other than that, it is a good storage device and a good value.

It functions as advertised: easy to install and provides excellent back up to my son’s games. It is Worth every penny. Would I buy it again? Of course I would!

Don't be fooled by the software/utilities capabilities. The drive can't be locked and doesn't support encryption. So great for temp data transfer or maybe media files, but not suitable for backup or data storage if you need security. Pay more for a better product. Hint - if WD wouldn't sell it themselves, but only Best Buy, think twice.

This device meets or exceeds all of our requirements. It was easy to set up and perform our system back-up. The scheduling feature was very handy.

Love this little drive good speed for what im using it for just to back up important pics ect

I bought this for recording my Xbox one X games. Works great, and if you want to use it with Xbox you have to format it in NTFS before using it.

I bought this one because the WD 1TB EXTERNAL Hard drive I had for 8 yrs was acting weird. This one has more space and super fast!! 100% recommend!!!

Purchased for my xbox to store the games. Overall does well with this function. Still able to download games while the xbox is in standby mode. Games play quickly even off the hardrive. Overall a good purchase.

You won't be disappointed with the purchase of this hard drive. There is so much memory in this small but elegant looking portable hard drive.

THere is nothing like being able to move 4tb of data in such a small unit... It seems robust and it is fast (at least for me). Working perfectly.

I used this hard drive for all my graphic design work and it worked wonderfully. It's sad to say recently the part where the cord plugs into the hard drive started to get loose and when I decided to change the case I found out I couldn't fix it. It lasted about a year of good use.

I picked this up for less than $100. For that price, it is an incredible bargain. 4 TB in the size of a typical 2 TB mechanical hard drive. Well worth the pricer.

My Desk top computer only has 1TB and was full. Love how large this is and it was on sale for a great price. Transfers at a very decent speed.

Bought to use in scanning photos of family, stores photos that I do not want to lose of others I may not need everyday. Good purchase

I bought it for my MacBook and it work perfect only you need to use adapter for connect . because in new macbook only usb type c.

I needed more storage for my backup of my computer. So I purchased the brand that I had before and was happy with the previous external drive.

Needed Storage and was waiting for a good deal on a portable drive. This one works as expected, and looks very nice as well. overall very happy with this device

Purchased for a back up drive for photos while traveling in Europe. Super light and compact. Quick transfers. Durable. No problems so far.

Nothing fancy... It is an external hard drive... But is has been reliable and fast. Great bang for the buck. Will be getting another when this one is full.
