Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had to make exchange as this unit did not work. Got a 2TB instead.

I bought this item because geek squad recommended it in order to transfer my windows computer info into my new Mac. Unfortunately, they were not able to use it and required me to buy the Mac-compatible hard drive. I could not possibly recommend this item if even geek squad had a problem with it.

Worked good for a while then just bam it stopped not satisfied

I have been using these little drives for several years now and every one is still going strong. I use them for (retro) gaming and as external storage for Plex. I haven't had a single drive failure while using WD drives and will continue sticking with them as my library grows. Obviously, if you need the absolute fastest speed you may want to go with an SSD. However, this external hard drive has big advantages in cost per unit storage and if you are anything like me you won't notice the relatively brief spin-up and seek time of a conventional drive.

I recently purchased the new Xbox One X. Since its a 4k gaming consoles the games seem to typ use 100gb. The console comes with 1tb and I have another portable WD brand Touro S 7200rpm 1tb HDD, which means I can only hold around 20 4k games and with the few I have plus all that aren't I'm already 50% used. I was looking through the Black Friday ads for the Green Seagate 4tb Game Drive hoping I'd catch it on sale since I really didn't want to pay $130 for a portable drive, but low and behold I found this WD 4TB Easy store usb3.0 portable drive for $79! This is gotta be the lowest price I've seen on a WD or Seagate 4tb in the past 2yrs I've been looking. Plugged the drive in and instantly the One X recognized it and reformatted with a click of the controller. Games even being 4k monsters still seem to run smoothly & fast. This also comes with a 2yr warranty which isn't bad. The WD My passport X was only 1yr and the WD Mypassport & Ultra are 3yrs.Anyone that just purchased the One X should seriously consider grabing this drive while the sale is going on.

I bought 2 of these and both of them are dead after uploading only 50gigs on them. This product is trash and don't waste your time or money on this ...spend more and get a better hard drive .

If you want to just throw money away, I suggest you drive to Best-buy purchase this item and as you are leaving the store there is a TRASH BIN CHUCK INSIDE.... NOT THE ELECTRONIC RECYCLING BIN BUT THE TRASH CAN.!!!

I have bought 2 of these drives and have had nothing but problems with them. It has gotten so bad that none of my three computers (PC and iMacs) will even recognize them. Save your money and find another brand. Now I have two hundred plus dollar paperweights.

Had this about 4 months and just stopped working! Don't know why , have 2 other 1 TB drives I have had for years they're still working fine.

I bought this for storing files for my Plex server because my PC hard drive was getting full. I plugged it into my router and mapped it as a network drive on my PC. Works like a charm, never had any issues. I plan on getting a couple more for my Xbox One and PS4 games.

As soon as I hooked this up to wife’s computer win 7 HP i7 processor it started locking up. I tried booting her computer and it would freeze on startup screen. When I removed the HD the computer started functioning probably again.

Died after 2 weeks. Never had that problem with WD products before. Luckily I didnt erase what I had stored on it. $100 down the drain.

This portable hard drive says it is plug and play. However, I have not been able to get it to install. My computer which runs on Windows 7 Pro cannot see it when I plug it in.

Hooked up to a Windows laptop and it wouldn't mount or stay mounted. After a while it mounted. Never had this issue with a Western Digital drive before.

It was a bad drive out of the box. Plugged it in, and it just clicked and clicked. Would not format on PC or Mac. Returned it.

This hard drive has simply sat next to my pc, recently began clicking which I'm guessing means the head is crashing. I can't imagine trusting it on the go and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Was using this drive the whole year. Just failed So frustrating. Now we'll see how good the Bust Buy / Western Digital Warranty is.

Crashed after only a year. Went to use it one day and won't work on two different computers. Very disappointed. First drive, I've every had crash

Works great for my dvr backup drive. Price was good and has been working flawless.

It worked alright for two years. Now, it continuously fails with corrupted data. Reformatting takes five or more attempts. Device is useless. Do not use this to store valuable data.
