    I have the 500 gig xbox one and needed some more storage. I don't notice a huge amount of game lag when playing from the external storage. It also transfers data fairly quick.

    I purchased this for my grandson, so I don't know anything about it. However, he was thrilled with it and it was an excellent Christmas gift.

    Have had the 3 TB model for a couple years... Very happy with the purchase. Added a second with 4 TB and a type C connector. Works just as it should. Would recommend to a friend.

    The product is fine. The Geek Squad lady who recommended it to me was terrific. Her name is Angelica and she works in the Culver City Store.

    The only item that I would change on the drive would be to put the "on" light on the front of the casing. Otherwise the drive is perfect and super easy to use.

    We really like the small size and ease-of-use of this hard drive. We have several WD hard drives and will continue to buy as needed.

    Does what it's supposed to do. Storage is no problem. Wish there were additional in store options but made it work.

    It's a 4 star because it was a little more expensive than what I wanted in a 4TB external. I bought it anyway because it was at a time when HHD's were hard to come by due to the pandemic.

    One of my big problems with a lot of these portable drives is that they slide around or are so light that the cord can move it. This one is well with and doesn't slide around. It boots up quickly and quietly.
