I have never used an external hard drive in the past but found I needed one to back up documents. I found this hard drive really easy to install and use. I was worried that it would be complicated and I would have a hard time getting it set up and utilizing it. That was not the case. It is a good size and easily portable if need be. I expected it to cost much more than it actually did. I am very happy with this purchase and should I ever run out of space, I would definitely buy again.

Reasably priced for its storage capacity and not too difficult to progam with the software provided. Lots of options on how and when to back up entire system. Small and light if you want to carry it with you, And I can remeber when I was glad to have a couple of kilobytes available!

Easy to use and has a lot of space to hold games. This was simple to set up and does not take up a lot of space. I have the silver one and it looks nice next to my black gaming system.

I've used WD External Hard Drives for years now and can say these drives are easily applicable to my devices. I bought this one for the speed and amount of storage for my particular application. I loaded my collection of 4K movies which numbers approximately 180+ and the USB 3.0 is stable and has less corruption in my opinion but it's still always safe and a good idea to backup your files. Plus I love the look. I would recommend this product.

This is a great external USB hard drive. Not too large. Once it is set up, it is very easy to use. Set-up took me a bit of time and I had to read the instructions carefully. But I did it.

I needed an external drive that would comfortably back up all of my files from my laptop, and this one did the job perfectly! My previous external drive (also a WD) was not big enough to do the job anymore but is still working fine as an added backup for certain things. I've come to trust the WD brand to work right out of the box and last for a long time.

This is a very cost-effective portable drive for the amount of storage it has. I was able to reformat it to ExFat in seconds so I could use it between PC and Mac machines. In this application, I don't use it to backup my PC or with Time Machine for my MacBook. I simply use it like a drive or SD card with Explorer and Finder. I took a while to copy all the files to it, but I now have this drive to archive them. I was able to clear out files on my MacBook to free up space on its SSD drive.

I had this same line of HDs from Western Digital for a few years. I use them for weekly back ups. I’d dropped one of the original drives which crashed the head on the drive rendering it useless (another reason for multiple backups).
In doing so, I had already decided to buy the exact same drive only to find out that they are now even smaller, and lighter!
Same reliability and ease of use. Just smaller, lighter, and easier to store away more of them.
Another win for Western Digital.
