    It’s been great so far, it’s served its purpose! I only use it as an ultimate backup. Sometimes I wish I went a different route just for size purposes..but it does what it’s supposed to for me. No real complaints

    This is my 2nd WD external drive. I didn't use any of the built-in software so I can't elaborate on that. This drive works well for backing up my data. This drive is NOT for you if you want to move it around a lot. There are more durable high-capacity drives available if you want a portable option.

    The WD easystore external hard drive is a sturdy and reliable one for its reasonable price. It offers decent transfer speeds for moving and copying files. If only external SSDs were more affordably priced in that storage size, that would be a more viable alternative for content creators.

      Hello JKayy, We're sorry to hear that the drive did not meet your expectations. That's certainly not the experience we aim for. We understand how frustrating that can be. We would like the chance to make it right. Please reach out to our support team by opening a ticket at (https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb) so we can look into it and explore a possible replacement (if needed) or a solution for you. Thank you for your patience. WDConnections

    Shockable and air filled

    This is a very shockable drive, it pops right out. They are still white label red drives but they are definitely air filled and not helium filled which means they tend to run a bit hotter. Either way when these go on sale I’m a sucker and buy to that I can shuck it like an oyster and pop it in my NAS.
