Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this external because it was on sale and because I have had this brand before and it has done a great job at storing school work and photographs. It hasn’t failed me yet. So far this has done a great job the only thing I needed to do was format the hard drive for my computer since it didn’t have the updated installation for the newest update for my MAC. That was easy to do because WD has a step by step video online about walking you through the formatting process. Super easy and this hard drive is definitely worth getting.

This device is used for my time machine backup for my new Macbook Pro. It has great storage capacity at a reasonable price.

Massive memory, transfer files and video at rapid rate. Love this external memory hard. Easy to install and transfers at great speed. Plus I love the size

Purchased this hard drive to back up files, photos, and videos from my computer. It works flawlessly. I can now take the files with me and use them.

VG+ 5TB drive. Easy to access and no issues with it whether on a CyberPowerPC or an HP Envy. Recommended for those who need External Backup Storage

Easy to use, compact, would buy again if I needed a second one.

Lots of space for pictures and documents. Very portable.

Got this to add space to ps4 and it works flawlessly. East to setup and it automatically moved saved data to the hard-drive once it was configured.

Can't beat the reliability of WD drives and having a portable external drive of this capacity that is USB powered is much more convenient to me.

Easy installation. Perfect size for traveling. Easily recognized by laptop and desktop. Love the available backup software

It was exactly what I needed. Allowed me to move non essential files to a portable drive. It loads instantly upon connecting to pc! Easy to store and use.

Small but powerful so glad I got this I have so many PDF files and pictures this really helped me to back up my memories

Very happy with this purchase. Small and compact size will fit in security box well. Lots of room to save pictures and important items.

I purchased the Easystore device because my other WD device (Passport) was running out of space. I do vlogging and store my data on a physical storage device and the 5TB on this device was needed. My only issue is that it doesn't offer security / password protection like other WD storage devices. Even the WD website indicates this. I wish I had known this prior to buying it to replace my WD Passport portable HD, which has the PW protection. Sadly, I can't return this device because I already transferred everything from my WD Passport to the WD Easystore. I do not recommend this storage device because it does not have security protection. Think bout it. Would you buy a cell phone that doesn't have password / security protection features to prevent others from unauthorized intrusion / access to your cell phone? I hope WD updates their "WD Security" software to include Easystore devices.

Its nice, took all my computers files and videos to free up its space and still has a bunch of room for more Very glad i got this

I have had no issues with this USB hard drive. It serves as great storage for all the tons of games I download. I don't try to run games off of it so I can't speak for whether or not that's possible (depending on the game). It's not designed for that anyway. I use it as storage for my files and it works just fine. I find USB 3.0 to be fast enough for me. Is SSD much faster? Probably, but I'm not spending that kind of money to save a few minutes.

This is a great backup drive for photos and video. I have used several of them and they offer a really great value.

Using this as external hard drive for ps5, storage PS4 games and ps5 games so far excellent performance no issues working as described.

I like how easy it is to use and the storage capacity.

Compact, great space, easy to install, great price
