Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good product for data backup and retrieval. Compact and cost effective.

I have 3 of these. I typically get the 8TB models. So far they are just as reliable as the larger sizes.

The performance was really good, light weight, easy to carry

As i needed to archive my old computer files, I needed a external hard drive that I consider realiable.

Love it. Super portable, great transfer speeds, and easy set up.

Great and reliable, definitely a good choice for anyone looking for a portable drive in case they need to keep any valuable files on hand.

Needed something to hold pictures when our phones filled up, rather than paying for a service like iCloud or Dropbox. So far so good. It’s worked on every computer I’ve connected it to.

Works very well. Fast. Good price. Especially after using my Best Buy Card Rewards!

Good for offline storage of data...can be used with Mac & windows

This external hard drive is very easy to use and is a nice size for transporting.

Great and reliable HDD. Not to noisy and reasonably fast.

Good hard drive, would buy it again. I am reorganizing my files and it was nice to get an extra hard drive that wasn't too expensive

Good product for the better price. Though SSD is better. For once in a while use this is the product to choose

I bought this for additional storage for my Xbox one. It does its job well enough, but it was generating an intermittent, high-pitched whine that was audible over my gaming headset at times. I ultimately decided to go with an SSD for quieter and faster performance, but would still recommend this product for those who don't want to shell out the extra $ for an SSD.

Excellent drive to replace my 3 year old back up drive. It's less than the cost of the last one due to advancing technology. It's also much slimmer and quieter. It will never match my WD SSD External Drive but for the price it is an excellent drive.

Bought this to use as a backup for photos off digital camera. It took a little bit of work to be seen by my laptop but once connected it works great. Was able to get photos backed up easily and quickly. Does exactly what an external HDD should do.

I have purchased several of these units for my clients The backup software that WD includes with this unit is easy to use and very dependable. And the price is unbeatable. I highly recommend using a Portable Drive instead of an external drive for backup.

Needed option to secure surge of information as transition to pandemic virtual world. Excellent option to relieve space on hone devices. Great option to back up information in secure method. Price was best by far across several options.

Excellent price by Best Buy as it was the same price as 1Tb. Easily to setup.

This external hard drive has been so helpful for me with my business. I’m able to carry around so much more as compared to the older versions
