    This is the second one I purchased. The original was a 4TB drive. Excellent for storing the larger 4k games. No longer need to erase less played games to make more room. Best of all it was on sale for 90 bucks!

    I used it to download games and updates. It's fast and easy to use. More than enough space for data to download. Main purpose was for modern warfare game.. it uses up alot of data. Up to 250 gb for just than game.

    Bought this for mini pc for extra storage. Does the job well. Pretty much holds all media and non essential games to save room on SSD.

    Excellent buy for my Xbox 1. Needed more storage for games and this did the job. Just plug, format thru Xbox and you're set. Takes not more than 3 minutes for entire process.

    fast delivery , it is small enough to take with me , to back up my photos, with out needing an external power source, other than USB connection to my laptop. I would recommend it to a friend.

    This is my third Western Digital external HDD. I have had no trouble with the first two (knock on wood), so I stuck with the same brand. So far, no complaints. Speed is good, price was better. So far, very happy!

    I picked this up to use on my PS4, then recently swapped it over to my PS5 & it works great! (You can only store PS4 games on this external when connected to the PS5, but it helps keep the PS5’s SSD free.)
