Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought two of these hard drives during black friday, so I've only had them for 1wk. I'm impressed with how cool they stay while running for hours as I move over several GBs of data. They did come with some pre-installed backup software which I decided to install on my computer for now. The software is completely unnecessary for the drives to function, and you can simply drag and drop over files immediately without any other automated bells and whistles. I'll update this only if the drives fail. As of now, 1wk in, they work!

good price for all the storage. Since I take lots of photos is perfect for my use

A lot of storage space. Got a good deal and hope it will last for a long time.

Small but holds a lot information. Great price. Would recommend.

So far no issues, and doing its job with the One X. Got it for a great price and gives me the much needed extra storage for the console.

The product was on sale and it was very good price. All that storage for under $100

Exactly as advertised. it does everything I want it to do. Fast, reliable, even looks good, and the price is reasonable for such a quality product. Never had a WD fail yet! Being black it's a bit hard to see in the dark though...

Works great i have not had any issues and have plugged it in several times.

lot of storage place, very compact, very easy to use

Was great for storing games, upgrading to something more solid but for casual use it’s amazing

Bottom line: 4TB of storage in a small form factor from a trusted manufacturer. Pros: attractive case, easy to use included software Cons: USB 3.0 transfer speed As a general rule of thumb, I always recommend buying the maximum amount of drive storage possible. You'll surely use it later, and you won't have to search multiple drives to find the files you want. Western Digital is a leading manufacturer of external hard drives, so if you're backing up important files buy a name you trust. WD's software is easy to use and the drive is formatted as NTFS out of the box. Mac users will need to reformat the drive, but it only can takes a minute or two. The casing on this drive is textured, which reduces the look of fingerprints and smudges. It shares the same form factor as WD's external portable drives and is about double the thickness of the 1TB WD drive I already own. The only downside is that, as hard drive storage increases, aging connection and transfer standards such as USB 3.0 start to feel slow. It took nearly two hours to copy 1.75GB of data from two other USB 3.0 external hard drives to this one. This isn't really a criticism of the drive, but if you have a newer computer you might look at USB-C drives as an alternative.

This was the best price and storage for my office and employees to use in transfer and save data.

Kind of on the bigger/clunky size, but 4TB seems to be a great addition to the PS5.

Bought at a discount on black Friday sale. Good quality product and really worth the price.

I got this HDD with an amazing deal from Best Buy. 4TB is a lot of space. The build quality of the product is good and it looks sturdy.

I got a great deal on this product on Black Friday, 4tb is way over the amount I need but it’s great and allows me to backup everything

Tons of storage in a small package that is easy to carry.

Got this on sale and it is very nice. Size is perfect and it is very fast to load files on it.

Love fact that this is usb powered vs needed a separate power plug, and at 4tb, hard to beat. Big question is to see how long it lasts.

These drives rock.... got two of them for backing up stuff and works just great
