    I've had extremely good luck with these WD portable drives, using them constantly to take work back and forth to home and office. I've had a few fail, but usually I was able to salvage them. In general, nice size storage, reliable. I wish the connection cable and connection to the drive were a bit beefier, as that is a weak spot, but careful handling will save you.

    This external Hard Disk Drive is extremely easy to use. It's small size makes it very convenient too. Although it is not as fast as an SSD it has adequate speed. I generally only use it for archive purposes so great speed isn't really an issue for me

    Simple way of adding extra storage capacity at an affordable price. Nothing fancy with this storage drive. It’s no fashion statement, chunky and only comes in one color, but gets the job done for what it’s meant to do.

    I have purchased several of these high capacity drives. I primarily use them for storage. I have consolidated all of my thumb drives onto this one drive, freeing up the thumb drives for other purposes. The quality of the Easy Store drives is outstanding. Western Digital is an outstanding brand name and the lower cost does not mean you sacrifice quality. I have never had one of them fail to date. I highly recommend them for everyday use.

    The western digital easy store is easy to use and you only have to plug it into the computer, the plug and play starts and then you just use it. You can bring it with you because it's so small, but not so small that you have lose it easily. This is a great product if you need lots of memory or even if you just want to save and not use up the computer memory.
