    Must have if you run out of storage. Comes with backup software and peace of mind with Western Digital reliability.

    Works as it's supposed to; good performance. Works much better than the Seagate branded drives with the USB ports in them.

    It was the right size and the right price. Moreover, it can be removed from the case and used as an internal drive. SCORE!

    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!

    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.
