    Bought two of these to save raw and edited photos/videos from our photo/video team. Transfer of files are very fast! No issues so far, and backed up through WD Discovery. Highly recommended!

    I got this hard drive for my older parents - they had an older mac they were replacing and wanted to back everything up. The hard drive was easy enough to use without having to help them set it up.

    I purchased this as a gift for my daughter who recently ran out of storage on her PS4. This is a great and affordable temporary solutions until we upgrade the console. I recommend this product.

    I use this for Xbox storage and it's perfect. It's very fast, it's silent, and I honestly forget I have it because of how effortless it is to use it. Highly recommend.

    A joke to use and small and easy to transport, I have a windows system as well but it supposedly only works on macs. I’ve heard that before. YouTube people.

    It has being almost a year since I have purchased the external drive. So far the drive is working great, and I have not experienced any issues. The transfer speed is slightly slow though, but for the price it is a great product. Hopefully it won't break any time soon.

    This portable hard drive was purchased by my son to store files that are beyond the storage capacity of his other hard drives. I have not heard any complaints so it must be working well.
