Customer Ratings & Reviews

A great portable drive that has ample storage space. I use two of them and mirror the files, this ensures an affordable and reliable backup solution. They are easy to transport and use. The transfer speeds are acceptable and I will continue buying as I need.

Hooked this up to my PS5 and have all of my PS4 games on it. It's worked flawlessly so far and freed up a ton of room for my gigantic PS5 games to stay on the SSD. Can't hear it, doesn't seem to have any downsides. I'm very happy. WD is easy to trust!

Been using WD portable HD's for some years now. None have failed. Very reliable in my experience. The current models are plug and play. They don't even require file the format mapping the older ones used to need to accommodate larger files. WD is my go to for HD's.

Purchased this recently for a friend as a gift but I've had one running games for my Xbox One for ~2 years now without issue. Pros: - Very small + quiet - Plug and play, no issues with the Xbox One or PC - Self powered so no extra wires or mess No cons that I can think of

I purchased this about a year ago. I use this as a secondary drive for my 512gb laptop. I run most of my games off of this thing and it does great! I have played games like the new MW2, Battlefield 2042, and R6 Siege. I was very pleasantly surprised by how well this thing works for games. Now, I sometimes experience slightly slower load times for the larger games, but I have yet to experience any gameplay issues due to running off of this external. If you are using a laptop for gaming and find yourself running low on space all the time, I would strongly recommend giving this bad boy a try. I works great for me.

For avid video game players, whether you use Xbox or Playstation consoles, this compact external hard drive by the always trustworthy Western Digital offers you all the storage space you will likely need. It's easy to set up on either console, and you can designate the drive as the default installation location in order to save your console hard drive from filling up. I highly recommend this USB external hard drive as primary storage for Xbox One and PS4 or PS5 games.

This was exactly what I needed for a extra and convenient storage for both my PS4 and PS5. Easy plug in play that’s easily recognized by the above mentioned gaming consoles. It’s been very reliable and runs very quiet, I will purchase more as soon as I can in the near future..

Lots of storage in a compact space, easily portable. Speedy enough for moving big files thanks to USB 3.0. I can't vouch for the included backup software because I haven't used it, but overall I'd say this a good option for backups, video storage, and general everyday use.

i've been buying these same drive for years now and the storage are getting larger as times go by, they have decent speed in read and write but my purpose is to store data. this brand, this type of model have never let me down, its reliable over the years of having this drive...

This external usb hard drive is nicely sized (read compact) and brain dead simple to use just plug into your usb A connector whoops not in my MacBook Pro 2018! Good thing to have a dock or wait for this years MacBook hopefully will have some better connections.

I purchased this product specifically for my XboxSeriesS Console. Every owned XboxOne, Xbox360, and OG Xbox game plays from this drive! Works flawless, and it was easy to set up! Highly recommend!

It stores a lot of games highly recommended It’s pretty fast And it is a pretty small form factor

This portable hard drive fits my needs just right. It is small enough to carry around and it has way more than enough storage space for storing photos and songs and videos and documents. It is also very fast.

I bought this when it was discounted to about $90 to store a lot video recorded over the air, and it's been working very well. I've had a couple issues with it on one of my 15-year-old computers, but after I sorted that issue out, it was smooth sailing.

I haven’t actually loaded anything on to this drive yet, but I am basing my review on other Western Digital drives I have. They make good quality drives. I have a lot of movies, music and photos and this drive has plenty of room for them and more.

I bought this 5TB external hard drive as a deal of the day 51% off special offer. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I wanted to have a back up external hard for my PS4's 4TB hard drive. It's great being able to store a massive amount of data in a small portable device.

What an awesome compact external USB Portable Hard Drive. It also comes with extra bonus features to try out. It stores fast and reliably. Sturdy and Great design. Recommend it for everyone. Price was right when it was on sale. Yes.

I purchased this external hard drive to back up my computer and save photographs. It was easy to set up and has plenty of memory for all my needs. The staff at Best Buy were friendly and helpful in assisting me with this purchase.

This hard drive works perfectly fine with my Xbox Series X. There's not much to say other than its pretty much a plug in play device. With that said setup is super easy. Just plug the device in and you're pretty much all set to go. I highly recommend this product.

Very easy to use product and very well made. This device has allowed me to save all my information on my laptop before the is just stopped working. Looks nice and is well made and should last mr for years to come at an affordable price. Thank you so much
