    This is the 2nd one I've owned. I liked the first one so much I bought another. It is very easy to hook up and configure the backups. Quiet and very reliable.

    Purchased this to add to my collection of WD My Book Drives...it doesn't disappoint. This external HD drive will be beyond enough to safely store your precious media or data. For under $200...you can't lose.

    This was an upgrade from a WD Book 4 Gig that was getting full. Plugging in was a breeze to my computer and getting this up and running with the software was also smooth. Currently backing up my hard drive which has been a slow process thru 2.0 and not 3.0 USB port. So far though happy with my purchase.

    This Easystore is as good as it sounds. Plug in the power brick and the usb 3 cable and instant terabytes of new storage for your data. I have several easystores.

    Needed a temporary storage to move items for a NAS migration, and this worked like a charm. Did its job in short order, now it'll just live next to my new desktop for periodic backups.

    Got this hard drive during a sale and what a bargain. Pros: Large capacity and decent transfer speeds of large contiguous files. Cons: It goes to sleep when inactive and takes a few seconds to wake up.

    I have bought a few external WD hard drives for storage and back up purposes. This 8Gb drive allowed me to get rid of all the other ones I have and use only this one. No issues with the drive at all

    Not good for Xbox One X

    I bought this external HD to help free up space on my Xbox One X, and it works great for that. The problem occurs when trying to play games from the external drive. I had to reinstall Call of Duty WWII back onto the internal Xbox One X hard drive, just so that I can play it without it glitching out and shutting down on me.

    It was served well during backups and retrievals. Set up is really nice and easy. Can go wring with the price and dependability. I recommend this drive for back up needs.

    Purchased for ~$160 this drive was priced well. Checking it via badbocks command under Linux takes a few days but I always do that before using any disk. No bad blocks found. Formatting and using as usual.

    Great product and it was $129. I connected this hard drive through usb to my Netgear router and I’m using it as a shared drive in my home network. Not bad deal for what I’m using it for.

    I used to use the MyBook 8TB on my Xbox One X, but there was always a spin-up time after the Xbox booted. With this, as soon as my gamer profile is ready so are the games on the EasyStore.

    I use it for photography. I always save picture as raw and need a solid hard drive for my laptop. This is a great capacity its price but it always went sleep mode every 10 min cause a lot of lag. I hope it has a function to hard always on. I am using 3rd party program to do so.
