Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was looking to replace an old 1TB storage device, another brand, that was making noises and possibly going to fail. Pleased this doubled my capacity and was reasonably priced...plus in stock. Would have likely purchased a smaller unit; but for the extra $, if it operates ok, it will provide years of storage.

As someone who has lost important data through a computer crash, this was a good option. It is easy to use, and am able to retrieve data once backed up. I have had for about 6 months - so far, so good.

Easy breezy...does what it's supposed to no big deal. Fast storage all good...share between computer, gaming systems, etc...no complaints.

Portable high volume storage is incredibly helpful

Lightweight pocket size harddrive. Tons of storage- I have hundreds of high quality clips saved and more

So far so good. Using this as a media streamer. As a former music/ tour photographer and working over 23 yrs as a photographer in general I have a lot of photos, music and videos I’ve collected over the years. Hold everything fine. Works great with Plex.

Anyone who works with a mobile device should have one of these to use as a back up, especially anyone who travels for work like I do. I love the color, it's stylish, sturdy and it's small enough so it doesn't take up too much space in my purse or my bag.

This is my 'go-to' portable external storage drive. It has plenty of space for my projects which contain large graphics files. It just works!

Great storage easy to setup easy use,hope to get a lot from this

Works great, only issue I have is it had a special wire that plugs into it so you would have to go through the company to get a replacement.

You never think you will need 4TB, until your server crashes and your cloud backup is corrupted, and... We grabbed this as a redundant backup for our secondary office server and it updates daily. The speed and ease of use are great. WD products and pricing are fantastic.

I've copies over thousands of photos from my laptops and still have lots of space. It was easy to connect and begin using. I've had several Western Digital External hard drives and they have worked well. I'm not sure how I was supposed to be able to use encryption on this one.

Easey to set up, easy to use. Easy to move between machines.

Nice hard drive. I haven't had this one very long, but it works well. I don't use the WD software at all, so I'm no help in commenting on that part of the product. A solid state drive is certainly better, but they're pricey at this point, so this one is perfect for my needs.

Very large backup storage at a great price!. Easy to configure, easy to backup quickly for the emergency data recovery.

as advertised! Good value, good design, nice size, easy to use

It's fast, has handy apps, extremely portable, huge at 4TB and seems reliable so far. Western Digital - accept no substitutes! Been using their products for over 20 years (yeah, I'm older), and know what works and what doesn't. Buy this if you something with these specs!

I loved the price for the amount of storage. Easy to down load and format.

Awesome for extra store, so happy this is my second purchase. Very easy to use and would recommend without hesitation.

I have 8 of these and use them for storage and backup. Dating back 8 or 9 years, never had a failure or problem from any of them. Much better than other brands.
