Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this as a backup for my son laptop, he has been doing video. This nice compact design allows for him to tote it around and keep his laptop portable. The first back up took all night, but the follow on only does the new changes.

Too early to tell, my last HD I had and put a ton of stuff on it and put it in the closet for a couple of years, took it out and didn't work. This one seems to be fine so far...i guess time will tell in terms of how long it survives before dying. I was on the fence whether to get a real external drive or to get a huge flash drive. I went with this, copied over quickly, seems fine.

Exactly what I needed for convenient portable storage with large capacity.

solid drive and very quick. Very easy to install and get up and running.

I was looking for a way to safe my videos and photos on my GoPro. Researched online and found this unit as a solution. Purchasesd the item, received it very promptly and set up was a breeze. I would highly recommend it for your use.

I bought this to expand the storage on my Xbox One and it works flawlessly.

Very good, small and convenient. Doesn't use a lot of space on the desktop.

It is better to have an external hard drive has a back up just in case.

Was easy to use and have saved many movies for all my travels of boredom!

I purchased this external hard drive for my Husband as a Birthday gift! He needed it to store files and many pictures to free up space from his computer! Now, his pictures are stored safely! He was very pleased with this product!

For my son's steam account that over took his computer. Helped a lot.

Works great for beginners , really simple , my son finds it easy to use

I did a bit of research before deciding on the WD drive. So far it has exceeded all of my expectations. When using a USB 3.0 port it is blazing fast. Would transfer at 100mb/s on average. Been a great back up and storage utility.

It was easy to set up. It was very fast. And it was secure.

I own about ten of these HDs, they have never failed me and they are amazing for their price. I store a lot of 4k footage on them and edit off of them with no issues. They are not the fastest out there, but they're reliable.

It was very easy to reformat it to use for my Macbook because it was made to be used for Windows. Everything worked really well until about a few days ago that it has started to disconnect itself from computer and I was getting a message that "Disk was improperly ejected". It kept doing it about 10 times in the row in 1 hour. Other than that I have no complaints.

I travel with these drives and they go through a beating and love them.

Great for students to back up all their papers, projects and photos

Handy to load photos on to take and share with friends and clients.

I bought this hard drive to replace an old 750 MB Seagate drive that was developing a cable/connector failure. This Western Digital device seems to solve all those problems with a much higher quality design in that area.
