WD External Hard Drive 2TB - A Good Deal

I purchased this drive a couple of months ago to transfer my data from my old PC laptop to my new one. It was a good decision. WD drives are affordable, reliable, and easy to use. This one was just plug and play and didn’t require any formatting to be compatible with my device. The newer solid state drives might be a little faster in terms of loading your data, but this one hasn’t given me any trouble. And it’s a little more affordable than an SSD.

Doing some spring cleaning and I have several old laptops that I have been holding on to for years. Mainly because they have documents and photos that I might possibly need someday. I made an appointment with the Geek Squad to backup 2 old laptops and my current laptop. I bought this little hard drive because it was on sale and I am extremely happy with the purchase. It got everything. Documents, photos, videos!! So much stuff with lots of space left for more! Also, you can take it anywhere because it fits in the palm of your hand. I highly recommend this compact, powerful hard drive!

I bought this alongside a new laptop and was easily able to use it to transfer everything from my old one to my new one in one sitting. For a while it was stored in my laptop case, where it's so compact and thin that it hardly existed except when I wanted to use it. And since I got my PS5, it's been plugged in there as extended storage for back-compatible PS4 games. PS5 games install to the console SSD and PS4 games automatically install to this instead. It doesn't give that speed boost of an SSD, but it's not supposed to, and I haven't been worried about storage space ever since. I have dozens of games on it and it's not even half full. Highly recommended for PC or console use, as long as you recognize that it's a hard drive, not even remotely a slow one by their standards, and you'd pay at least double this price for this big an SSD.

I love how small and compact this is. Love that it had options for colors so we can tell mine from others. Holds amazing amount of pictures that I haven’t even scratched the amount and cleared off laptop and phone full of years of pictures. The pictures are the blue one but the black one is great too.

I have a small collection of hard drives that I use to store raw images and WD makes some of the best ones I have, they're super reliable. I do find that these are a bit more heavy duty than other brands, namely seagate. However, I don't love that it has a USB rather than USB-C, and the device can be pretty loud.

I used the 2 TB USB 3.0 drive to image several laptops and pc that I just upgrade to Windows 10. I also used it to restore the image to new SSD drive to replace the old HDD. Works great. The other day, my wife 6 months old PC data drive died ( just totally disappeared from my computer). I was able to pop in a newly purchased WD blue and re-image the data drive from a recent image. Now I have about 5 WD USB drive from 1tb to 4tb. Lots of image versions of the multiple laptop and pc.

External hard drive was easy to install. It took a while to get the down loadable apps to get loaded and installed.
As a sidebar the package was delivered in a card board box, no damage but the box in the box was messed up torn and re- taped
I was afraid that it was damaged but it was ok.

I about this product because I need it extra storage space on my MacBook Pro. It's lightweight and portable with 2tb of storage. It powers up through the USB C port.
Don't forget to buy your USB C to USB a adapter for your MacBook Pro.
