    Purchased this product to replace a 2TB drive I was running out of space with. Plugged the unit into my USB 3.0 expansion and it came up immediately. So simple to use and a good value, as well.

    This hard drive is fast. I copied 328GB to it and it took less than 10 minutes minus all the files it said it couldn’t copy either because they were system files or currently in use. I love how lightweight and compact it is as well as the fact I don’t need an external power supply. It’s just plug and use!

    I create a large volume of files for two jobs and separate personal files. I therefore have purchased four of these external hard drives so that I don't have to sift through files that are no applicable to the data I am searching. I have been successfully using these since 2014, and I wouldn't be without them...great buy.

    Boy, what can I say about the easystore hard drives other than they are excellent! I've used multiple companies for hard drive storage; Toshiba, Seagate and Western Digital to name a few, and I've never dealt with such a reliable product. These drives come in a multitude of sizes and work excellently either with my P.C. or my many video game consoles. I currently have them on my Xbox Series S and X and my PS4 Pro console to hold the massive game libraries(especially Game Pass on Xbox). I have never been let down by these hard drives and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for safe storage.

    I love this little drive. Little in size but not in capacity. It is so easy to move files from one computer to another and for a backup of several computers. There is enough space to back up all 4 of my computers and still have space left. So far it has performed flawlessly and I hope it continues to do so. I would definitely recommend this drive to anyone who is looking for a good reliable drive for storage or backup or portability. I have always had great service out of Western Digital drives.
