    Needed something for larger backup storage. The WD did the trick. Easy purchase online through Best Buy and picked up at local store.

    Plenty of room to back up large files, videos and photos. I like that the drive goes to sleep mode when not in use which will help it last longer.

    This drive has been great. There are a few different apps you can download for it too, but there weren't any instructions on where to find them.

    Not much to review here .. just storage to transfer picture files from my phone. Other files too, but since we dont print our photos unless we buy new frames.... this is what we use to save them. It's pretty much my new photo album.

    These are reliable and reasonably fast external drives that can hold a lot of data. Don’t hesitate to get this especially when it’s on sale.

    Using this for my ps4

    Planning on switching to a PS4 pro in a few months. I got this to make sure the process was some enough and all my games would be accessible asap once I transferred my data from one to the other. So far it's been working fine on my normal ps4. I've noticed a difference in load times, them being a little slower but nothing too bad. Pretty much just plug and play. There are tutorials on YouTube on how to set it up for the PlayStation.
