    Bought to use with our PS4. Works great. Cheaper than the PS external hard drive and does exactly what I need to save PS4 data. I would recommend to others and buy again in the future. Thanks for the recommendation when at the store.

    I need a large but fairly compact storage drive to tuck away items that I wouldn't be accessing quite frequently. I saw this one on sale and picked it up. So far it has been great. I'm using it with my Mac Mini and other than noticing that it takes a little bit to pop up, it has worked without issue. I'd recommend it if you catch it on a good sale!

    This little thing is great! I needed it to temporarily hold about 1TB worth of files that my laptop could no longer hold and everything is went smoothly. The set up was easy and using it was very simple. It did tend to get very warm with prolonged use but other than that there were no issues.

    Great value for the money, and easy to use. I have purchased this brand several times, for other family members. Having an extra copy of important files is necessary, but you don't want it to be a technological nightmare. This is a dream.

    I didn’t know it was this slim when I got it. I am surprised how fast this is. I hope it’ll last for years. I had a similar one but for Mac, it unfortunately died after 3 years. I lost all the data. I am hoping this one will last.

    Purchased this while traveling to store photos. Works great right out of the box. Definitely recommend this external hard drive. Doesn't need external power which makes it convenient to use.

    It's big and reasonably priced. I was initially disappointed that Western Digital no longer adds its "passport" interface. This product uses Windows File History features directly. However it works.
