I had purchased this product with 10% off. Writing speed is nearly 95 Mbps. So this is a best buy than purchasing a WD passport for higher price.

Looking for a reliable and quality external hard drive that works with my PS4. I'm non-techy and after checking online and with friends. I plumped for the WD because of its reliability and also was ￡10 - ￡15 cheaper than its rivals.

I've read another review stating that this drive requires paid software " which you must use to operate the drive," and there's a lot of misinformation to that. This drive comes with trial software for cloud storage.

I've only been using it for a week, but so far it works swimmingly; My usb ports are 2.0, but the speeds on it are great and I've been running current gen games off of it with zero issues; For anyone in dire need of space but you don't want to replace your main drive quite yet, this is a good option

The case feels a tad thin and the cable it's packed in is a bit more than a foot long; It goes without saying but try not to drop this thing; You might want to look into buying another cable if you want to place your external somewhere farther away

Do small and light, bought a 10 ft cord to go with it so I can keep it tucked away in drawer and use with whatever device. Con: can,t connect directly to Samsung s2 tablet directly, literally no way, issue is power and no special cord to supplement power that connects to s2 (am sure on this)

I've had several of these USB 3 WD 2TB portables over the last couple of years, and they don't last long past the 1 year mark. I've even disassembled the device to see if I could locate which component fails. Assuming it was a soldering point, likely the USB connection itself.

Massive storage in a small package

Reliability

I'm in love with this HDD. Absolutely amazing. Cute little one in looks, yet massive in capacity. Super fast performance with USB 3.0. Even USB 2.0 gives good read/write speed of up to 21 MBps. What else to mention, Western Digital's reputation precedes its products.

* Plenty of space for my data files: Pictures, video. * It's fast & good price.

I already own a western digital 1tb external and wanted to seperate my music and video files so this was perfect.Never any had issues with the 1tb.But this 2tb has no mains plug powering and is a more smaller compact design.Just plugged it in my usb and it set up automatically.Brilliant would...

Easy to set up just plug in and use straightaway,no mains plug usb charged.lightweight

None

Plug & play great idea .

I bought this few days back & I am satisfied with the product ! Though not fastest in the market, large capacity makes it a perfect HD.
