Easy setup, though it leads to a mycloud app that cannot be used with this device? Storage works nicely and transfer speed is comparable to an internal drive, which is nice to see in an external drive.

Small, light, worked properly. I am satisfied. My only issue is that it appears to use SMR technology which gives me slower writes than I would prefer to see. However, as far as I can tell, no one makes a CMR drive of this size and form factor.

Good product, works fast and seamless. Best part is that you dont need to install a drive or anything. Works like usb.
The only issue is that there is no data protection/pwd protected. So, if anyone gets hold of the drive all data is visible. At least the security is not very intuitive.

I bought a similar EasyStore 5TB and constantly connected it to my Windows machine for years. It is running well. I bought another one on BestBuy's BF. Excellent and reliable product.

The drive holds plenty and is fast. I like the carrying case too.

I recently was able to obtain old family pictures of many family members who are no longer here. So easy to scan and download to the portable hard drive so that memories can live on for other family members.

Nice form factor, good data transfer rates. I've bought multiple WD external drives over the years, and have always been happy with performance and reliability.

For bulk data storage and backing up files, this is just about the only external hard drive you'll need. She's not as fast as them SSDs but she'll get the job done.

Item works and came packaged well, but has several flaws inherently - the lack of a SATA connection means data recovery is far more cumbersome and costly if the drive fails, and WD drives are notorious for the 'click of death'. Nonetheless, the lower cost is attractive, and I hope this drive doesn't meet the fate my older drive did.
