Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have used WD drives for a while. The only thing I don't like is the sparse material for setup to fully utilize the capabilities. Takes too much time to hunt for info. The WD Unlocker is interesting too.

Solid. Great for photos and video storage. Pretty fast too.

Very handy and must have device to back up data. Easy of use could have been better

Bought this to back up my gaming system. Works great.

Returned as it was a duplicate of a product I had.

Great product up until it began ejecting itself on its own. Reached out to Manufacturer and they explained it was just a defected device and they would replace it, however they make you wait and you get a new one 5-7 days after they receive the first device you return. I’ve owned this product for less than 1 year.

love the bright color so its easy to find in any desk

No technical issues. Nice color. I would recommend

This is very handy. It is slow on older computers which is expected but overall I like it.

This is an unstable and unreliable external hard drive. I am currently getting an "acccess denied" error with no access to data. The whole point of an external drive is data security and access. I will never purchase another external drive from Western Digital. I had similar experiences with another WD external drive.

Does the job, could be a bit user friendlier. Does not work on an iMac.

The unit works good as a disc drive. I installed the WD backup software on my new HP laptop windows 11 and it corrupted the Photos App. It didn't damage any photos but the app cannot find the path to the photos now. NOT HAPPY

Very good for storing the documents, photos etc. Highly recommend

After formatting the drive for Mac, it has performed very well using Time Machine automatic backups.

This was the perfect solution to backing up my desktop prior to switching everything to my new laptop.

Now and days this is as basic as it gets. Nothing special. Does the job.

I'll begin by clearly stating that there is nothing fundamentally *wrong* with this hard drive. In fact, it's perfectly functional for just about anything you might want to use it for. It's also reasonably priced when compared to its competitors. All that being said it will never stand up to the read/write speeds of an SSD.

This product came with no instructions and when I plugged it in, it was difficult to figure out. I'm going to have to get someone to help me or google a youtube video on how to use it. It's not as user friendly as I had hoped. I guess I'm not as computer saavy as I thought! If you're buying it, you'll probably be fine. It's probably just me.

Easy to setup and file transfer rate is good. Password protected.

Fast transfers! I needed to back up year's worth of work and was able to do it very quick with this.
