Customer Ratings & Reviews

Drive quality can be better. Drive is very fragile. Cable port broke next day.

Great value for backup, but not a speed demon. Using it to archive files that won't be accessed frequently.

Its good for memory but for what i wanted to use it for it was not for me.

this is the 3rd and last WD external drive I will buy. It is formatted to work with both OS's. I am having the same issue that I had with previous ones. After about a month it is no longer readable on the MacOS. Not a good drive if you are using the two operating systems with it.

Using for an iMac time machine. Seem to be a slow transfer rate.

Really cheap broke easily would recommend using if a DJ

Great but the package it came in was banged up and the plastic had been cut open.

Price was ok. Seemed sensitive to power fluctuations

I purchased this drive which failed after my first backup operation. I returned it within the return window and got a replacement. The replacement died also after the first backup so I did a warranty claim with WD. The replacement drive I received worked for one day and failed without me even running a backup. DO NOT BUY THESE. THEY ARE DEFECTIVE.

This will be the last WD Drive. Purchased in Aug 2019 died for no apparent reason Feb 4 2020.... aged 6 months. All data lost. Terrible product!... do as I am doing... head for the cloud! And to think that I was going to buy a bigger one for my own cloud. Piece of junk! Lost hours of drone footage!! Hard lesson learned so you do not need to.

Failed after 6 months, almost daily usage as a Apple Time Machine backup drive (approx. 90 minutes per backup) ONLY. Disk was spinning but macOS was unable to mount the drive.

Piece of Junk quit working properly after maybe a year. Sometimes the computer recognizes it and it starts up and most of the time it doesn't. I don't have this issue on much older drives.

I backed up my hard drive nightly and I thought I was covered. When I had to get a new computer I found out there was no way to restore my backups to my new computer.

I purchased one of these in 5TB to use for backing up data on my mac desktop. The drive died in 2 weeks. I then purchased this 4TB drive after getting a refund for the first. This one died in one month. I kept this sitting on my desk and never moved it. I have been very gentle with it. The return window is over, so I need to try and get a replacement or refund from the manufacturer. I have had several other fulll size WD external drives dies on me in the past, but they usually lasted about 3-4 years. I cannot trust Western Digital with any of my important files.

No user friendly for the iMac. I returned this and order another brand that worked greatS

Not happy with it, it is SLOW Sorry I bought it. Buy a different brand

Hard to connect to MacBook. Hoped it would be easier

Doesn’t work for Xbox x game system. Best Buy rep recommended this to me. Not a good buy.

says it works with ps5 but it doesn't - will only store old ps4 games

Worked great for about a month, then suddenly stopped. It whirs, but never connects.
