Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

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.

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 purchased this external HD for ease of sharing Photo & Video files with friends and family, when visiting. I did erase any provided software by first formatting the drive, since I did not have use for the encryption feature. I only gave it 4 starts, since a travel case aught to have been includes "as standard", to protect the drive & USB-cable.

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

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.

I bought this to store 10 years of information from an old Mac from which I needed a data recovery. It did the trick. its amazing how the price of storage has come down and the size of devices.

I bought this portable hard drive to back up photos on our laptops. This is my second one. We've had a laptop just stop working, but by using one of these, I only lost a few days of data, but I've lost thousands of photos due to flooding and old age.

This External Hard Drive was easy to use. I had to send my computer in for warranty repair and was afraid that i would lose everything i had saved to it. I had no trouble saving "all" my files to this External drive!

Fast and easy to use - my most recent in a series of these drives that I have bought for home and work, all still working dependably.

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

WD drives have always been stable and have worked well for video storage. I have several of these and they work great! Best Buy is asking for a review on the 2tb drive, but I actually bought the 5tb.

Great device for back up, easy instructions, and does a quick upload for small, medium and large files

I purchased this product because my 1TB SSD of this same brand and type was completely filled up so I needed a upgrade and once again I got got exactly the same quality and ease of use as my first hard-drive. Great product at an affordable price.

I needed more storage for my PS4. I purchased this after the recommendation of a Best Buy staff member who was very knowledgeable with this product. This was an excellent purchase and was easy to format. Works better than expected!

Our laptop needed a new HD so we needed to save things from the old HD before the new one was installed. The price was right for the amount of storage, which we barely touched after transferring files, videos and more! Will be buying another one soon!

This data storage/bank looks sleek and works fast. No overheating, no noise. I have been using it for over a month. Works great so far!!!

Just plug in and follow the easy instructions. No hassle. I recommend this to anyone. I used this on a Mac for a colleague of mine. Now she can utilize all the other space on her Mac for personal use while keeping work related items on this drive.

WD is legit. Works and is loyal. This was used for a PS5. Solid. I have many WD's for pc, xbox and playstation. All work really nice.
