    Bought this for my Xbox series s, so that I would use SSD storage for games that didn’t need it to run at 4K.

    This portable is great for the ps4. I’ve had it for a few months and I have to say it’s great. Fast downloads and silent.

    Western Digital quality at a great price. The red case makes it easy to find and serves as a reminder to perform regular backups.

    Recently transferred old home movie film to digital and needed a lot of storage space in a portable hard drive. Bought three of these for different family members to have their own set of memories - work great at a great price!

    Very thin compared to my current WD 1TB drive, but it feels a bit fragile. Let’s see how long it lasts.

    Works great! I've had it for over a year with no issues. WD is the way to go for hard drives, in my opinion.
