Customer Ratings & Reviews

Decent back up drive based on $ per TB when on sale. I would not use this drive for any other purpose as it's quite loud when writing data and not all that fast. The enclosure is plastic. A USB 3.0 cable is included.

This is my third 8th Easystore from Western Digital. All 3 are in use as backup drives for a NAS and 2 computers. This is a great, quiet drive. Although it really wasn't necessary, I did reformat one of the drives which was easy and quick, and went off without a hitch. It is a relief knowing that the data I have is secure, and if something does go wrong, I have a copy of everything I need. Can't say it enough: Back it up! Back it up! and in case I wasn't very clear, Back It Up!

Bought two of these to use for offloading games from my Playstation & Xbox consoles. Helps to free up space on the game drive and you can actually use it to play the games when you connect to the colsole. They were on sale for a great price & way less than the PS or Xbox branded external drives with less capacity.

I bought two of these and I have not had them long, but they are quiet and fast and work as good as I had hoped. Great Drives, Great price

Easy to use! Just plug and play! Read and write speeds are average but great storage for videos and photos!

If you need extra space for your video game console this is perfect. Got it for my xbox one and its simple to use and great!

I really like this external hard drive. Usb 3 and a lot of storage. It has been working well for the last year or so.

It's worked wonderfully so far! I find it very useful for backing up my computer and files!

Its a hard drive. So far so good. Using this to farm my Chia. At night I hope and wish the Chia gods would bless my plots with some chia. but no luck so far.

I have a ton of concert videos and home photos that was killing my memory. This was a steal on sale and works like a charm!

Works quick tranfering photos good for backing up images and other documents

WD has always been a good product for me. This is no exception. Loaded with space, very fast, and at a fantastic price.

Have this connected to my PS4 pro. It works great. Definitely holds a lot of games. Bought this due to my 4TB, that is also connected to my PS4 pro, getting full. Another good thing about this is that it powers down when the PS4 pro powers down. That is a plus for me. My Xbox One doesn't due that. Games do load a little faster on the external thru USB3 than the way I have a 4TB internal connected to the SATA3.

So I purchase this as I have the same problem I suspect everyone does with having media on multiple drives, and not sorted well. I setup OpenMediaVault on my Raspberry Pi 3 and attached this Hard drive to it via USB. So far no complaints as the Pi 3 is the limiting factor with speed. I get about 11 mbs since the Pi 3 internal NIC is only 100mbs. Drive works great as it's been about a month or so since it's been powered off and I'm impressed for the price I paid you can't get more storage.

Western Digital provides a quality external storage device that is easy to use and provides a lot of capacity to store all the digital pictures, movies, music and other files we want to backup and access.

It's a great backup for the computer for your photos. Anything that you want to say?

Easy to Plug in and immediately begin to back up files

This is the 4th of these drives I have purchased to expand the storage of my Plex Media server, works like a charm. Easy to use, partition and fast enough no buffering is noticed.

Works as advertised. No problems setting up the drive.

Works great as a backuo drive for my home media server
