    Great deal on a discounted version of the western digital portable drives. I have about 8 of these drives of various sizes from the time when the 1 TB model came out and so far none of them have crashed yet. I use these to plug into my samsung TV and roku box (I have a few of these drives) to watch my saved content. I plays my 4kv video files just fine on my devices. I get about 150 MB transfer rate when moving large files around between this and my new computer.

    This a large capacity but compact in size external harddrive. Works as expected. Only issue with it is that it doesn’t use USB-C.

    I am a pc gamer and this is a perfect way to extend your storage for such an affordable price. The speed for transferring files is fast and I get a great performance when gaming with games downloaded on this hard drive. I definitely recommend it for pc gamers with low storage space. Will definitely be picking another one of these up.

    This one offers plenty of storage for storing all your home photos, videos and files! The portable form factor is what exactly I needed so I can put it into my small safe along with other important items. Has been working all these months without a flaw. I back up everything twice a month to this portable hard drive and had no worries about losing data.

    Great product! It's light and the slim design fits easily in my laptop bag. I have a Mac and had to reconfigure it, which was an easy process thanks to the step-by-step instructions found on the WD website: https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20821. It comes with a USB connector, and I had to buy the USBC cables for my daughters' laptops, as I purchased one for them as well. I am currently using it to back up my laptop every week, and I love the fact I can access my files on my Mac or my husband's PC.
