    For $99 it’s totally worth the money just wait until it goes on sale. It goes on sale often probably more than 5 times a year

    I purchased a Western Digital - Easystore 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black. I was unable to get the HD to start backing up my computer. As a Totaltech member I called in and was assigned a session with an Agent to provide support. Unfortunately after a few hours doing a shared session they were not able to get the back up process functioning so I had to schedule an appointment in a physical store. i left it with them for several days and they were able to get my computer backed up. Unfortunately after a few days at home I noticed that the automatic (default) back up function was not working. i called into Totaltech team and was assigned an Agent. He was baffled & suggested I bring it back into the store. I chose to call Western Digital support. After a few hours in a computer sharing session that were able modify the back up software so it would do its thing. I ended the session while the entire computer was going through a back up. Unfortunately an hour later I found that it did not back up the computer at all but only limited sections. I am very frustrated with this product and am planning to go back into the store and look for a different brand that hopefully will work as promised.

    I use this hard drive as a portable back up to my main drive. I had used seagate drives in the past but experienced. Way to many failures.

    no problem, was worried that this large a drive would need an accessory cable to power it, but it power up just fine in a usb 3.0 hub we had on our PC, have not tried on mac yet, but its formated to PC standards so mac should be able to read, but not write to it

    Purchased on sale. I have other WD portable HDs, but this is the biggest I have in terms of capacity. Too bad it doesn't have USB 3.1. Make sure the USB port you connect to is at least USB 3.0 or you won't see the transfer speeds that this is capable of.

    This is my first external HD which I bought to back up a failing laptop. The device functions fine, but I had some issues with the software at first. However, this could be due to my computer issues
