Customer Ratings & Reviews

I depend on my drives working every day. This drive has proved to be strong, reliable, and fast. This has been the best drive I have ever owned (And I've owned a lot!)

Good price, reasonable speed, quiet, lots of storage. I use it primarily for scratch space for photos while I'm transferring them from raw to other formats for long term use.

Bought it for the huge storage. I read reviews before buying this and already knew that the drive is gonna be the slowest drive I will ever own. Good drive for what it does at the price but yeah its a slow drive.

Great all-around external hard drive w/ TONS of space. Fast enough to use for editing in 4k!

I have always liked western digital external hard drives. Provides a ton of storage and just so you know you will need AC power for this drive.

If you need the space and your not going to beat it up this is a great drive. I am very careful with my drives and take good care of them and they work perfect for me.

Great device for storing media, files. Ect... Just not for running apps of of. Not quite fast enough. But great for streaming library!!!

This is my third WD MyBook. It is working great. Not very hot and fast enough for backup

I got this HD about a year ago for my PS4 games and I still have so much space on it. Love it and it’s easy to setup with the PlayStation

Trust me, you want a backup drive. Hook this into your network, and schedule backups for your computers. There are other drives you can do this with, but WD is inexpensive, and reliable.

Purchased to sort and archive my music and video collection. Lots of storage space, and works well for my use.

Expected normal hassles with new hardware and software but this was intuitive and flawless-must have had me in mind when designed and manufactured. George

This is a good device for what it does. I wish it had a connection for adding a second hard drive, so you could back two drives up in parallel. I do prefer it to the Seagate equivalent version.

Using this for an time machine drive on my macbook. It's working great, but for my use the drive is a little loud when backups are running.

I didnt realize it needed to be plugged into the wall but thats my fault. It was super easy to hook up to my Mac book pro. Great value.

Use this on ps4 and now PS5, super easy to setup and use. Definitely a must for large game collections of the digital variety

This Hard drive is working great. I use it for 3 months to store digital video content for my business and I haven't had any issues with errors or playback so far.

My only concern with this hard drive is that it has no indicator LED to show it is on and/or operating. Otherwise, it performs well. If one doesn't mind the absence of the LED, it's a good choice.

EASY TO SETUP, AND DOES ITS JOB, NOT THE FASTEST AND THEIR MAC SOFTWARE HAS ISSUES

THE MY BOOK EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE IS FANTASTIC. IT ENABLES ME TO SAVE HUGE AMOUNTS OF DOCUMENTS, PICTURES, MOVIES ETC ALLOWING MORE FREE SPACE ON MY COMPUTER'S HARD DRIVE.
