    I bought this for my PS4 to install my games on it. It worked exactly how you would want it to. The cool thing is, when I got a PS5 for my son, I plugged this in and it read all of my games without issue. You can put PS5 games on here if you don't want to delete and re-download, but you can't play PS5 games off of it (not the drive's fault, PS5 just needs direct access which is a new feature only on nvme pcie gen 4 drives), but PS4 games work perfectly. 10/10 would buy again.

    Western Digital 4GB Drive

    A solid compact large capacity storage solution built by a reliable name in the hard drive industry. Speed is no where near solid state drives but its shames them in capacity. I have always been a fan of western Digital drive and will continue to use them. they are shock resistant (believe me I know, I'm pretty clumsy) and I rarely have any bad sectors on their drive even after years of use. Probably should have bought the 5GB drive for a few dollars more but 4GB is more than enough capacity for my needs at this time and I saved a few bucks. You can't go wrong with Western Digital drives!

    The Right EHD For My Purposes

    The WD-My Passport 4TB External Drive was purchased to hold mostly my pictures and documents that were clogging up my desk computer. It works as expected and at a good price point. I like that it had color choices, because I like to color code things! It is just the right size: compact, but not so small that it would get lost easily. Best Buy is easy to order from and shipping is fast.

    WD My Passport 4TB External Hard Drive

    This external hard drive was easy to format and set up with instructions provided. I set My Passport up on my MacBook Pro with Time Machine with no complications, and I keep it connected via USB so it constantly backs up when my laptop is in use. The price was excellent on sale and well worth the investment. I would recommend and purchase this item again.

    This hard drive is working perfectly for storing data. The price was fair for a portable unit and the transfer cord is short which makes it easy to fit in pocket if necessary.

    Imma be honest, only reason why I got this one aside from other brands was bc of the password protection. As far as I can tell it’s been working well & has plenty of storage for the games Ive been playing on my PC. Pretty easy to install.

    I use this hard drive exclusively for storing games for my Xbox Series X. It has been great so far. It can play games (Xbox One and earlier) straight from the hard drive. The few times I have played this way, I have had no issues and gameplay was great, however I do not do this very often. Overall, solid hard drive for the price!

    Good external hard drive for traveling with: Lighter than most, reliable with decent speed (this is my 14th purchase in various colors). Powered from the USB port/cable so there is no external power brick. If you are using a USB hub it will need to be a powered (external power added to the hub) since the amount being provided to the hub is not enough to power multiple drives. These are smaller and lighter than the prior models but come with black cords instead of color coded to the drive shell.

    Exactly what I needed when I needed it! Needing some extra storage for pictures and videos for vacation, I decided just before leaving I should buy a new Portable Hard Drive. Best Buy never disappoints me with their variety and good quality. I have had several Passport External Hard Drives in the past, and I am also quite happy with this one. I highly recommend this product and appreciate Best Buy being there for my needs!

    Perfect for PS4 (Playstation 4)

    Other reviews were correct, that this is great as an external hard drive for PS4. Just plug in and use. I plugged it in, and it asked if I wanted it to format it for PS4 use. Just click yes and it's done. All of the Call of Duty games and updates are so big, that I keep saying it's like being in a real possessive relationship. When you have have those games on your hard drive, you can't have any other games since they take up all the space and time. This external hard drive feels like I got my PS4 back with all of the old games I was able to reload. Also just takes pressure off the system since I was always maxed on data usage.
