WD 2TB Black My Passport Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBS4B0020BBK-WESN

Love the computer, it was delivered really fast and in perfect conditions. The RAM really makes this the fastest computer i ever used and its really perfect for my work.

2 TB is plenty for storing personal documents, media files, and etc. Its a hard drive, not an SSD, so handle it gently. If youre trying to add this as a network drive in Windows 10, you may have to enable SMB 1 in the Windows Features depending on the Windows update version youre on. Write speed was up to 110 MB/s for me over the network when copying large video files that are several gigs big. Note that the write speed does drop when youre copying over a lot of small files.

im using this for my ps4 cause I had gotten the 500 gb model works like a charm for downloaded games totally worth. I dont know how it fairs for actual storage for computer/ laptop stuff but I think every console gamer PlayStation/Xbox gamer should definitely have this in their inventory XD

I presently own and use 7 of these without a single glitch or problem to date. Theyve made me a loyal WD user. Whenever I shop online for an external storage drive, I always just click the refine search to WD branded items. I used to be a loyal iomega user and all of my legacy iomega drives still work perfectly. These are a super replacement with equal quality.

I was able to successfully partition this HDD for Windows back ups and Mac back ups so now my data is backed up cross platform. I didnt have any problem using this on macOS just use disk utility to reformat it. Its possible to have different formats for different partitions of the same external HDD like I did for Windows and Mac simultaneously.

This product is great! It comes with a lot of product support and has a great file transfer speed. PROS: Well packaged Comes with Software for PIN CODE Security Comes with Software for Automatic Backup Update Fast File Transfers Light Indicator (Sleep Mode, File transfer, OFF) CONS: The USB Cable is a bit Short Case is not drop resistant (but most external hard rives arent)

I purchased this product around 5 weeks ago. Within 4 weeks it was making a beeping sound. I could hear the beep and I could hear the drive spinning but none of the files could be read by my computer. After not very much research I found thousands of people with the same issue. It appears this drive has issues with its heads whatever those are. They appear to be defective. I went though the Amazon website and requested a call to fix the issue. I was connected twice to people with very thick foreign accents that I could barely understand. The first call after wasting my time with troubleshooting I knew wouldnt work the man told me he would send me a ONE TIME COURTESY REPLACEMENT. As if it was my fault WD is selling a faulty and defective item. That person hung on up me without me getting anytime of confirmation of information about the replacement so I had to call back. The second person told me the exact same thing about the one time courtesy replacement which made me mad all over again. But he did confirm a replacement was coming and when to expect it. Since I know now this item has issues what happens if I get another defective item? I suggest not buying this particular WD product.

I have not had a problem with this drive yet, but since I only had it for a month its hard to say if it will be a good drive. I expect to get at least 3 years out of it before I replace it. Time will tell. Im using it as a back up along with another WD (two drives) to back up a NAS setup so I always have one drive stored somewhere else and hopefully a good back up in case the NAS goes down for some reason. Cons at the moment: 1) I dont like the case they used with the sharp edges, but because I dont transport this drive very often it wont be a problem for me. 2) Also, Im still have problems registering this drive on WD site. WD will not accept the SN#? I have register HDs with WD for at least 20 years and have never had a drive that was not accepted until this one? I only register another WD just a few months ago, one like this one but mod# WBDY, which I thought this one was going to be the same, didnt catch that fact that the MOD# changed to WDBS, So now I have one that looks like a two 1tb (WBDY) and one that is thinner with a single 2tb (WDBS).

I cant tell you how much of a difference this fantastic product made for my PS4 I think I have a total of 19/500 GB on my PlayStation and 1.2 TB on the external hard drive that = gaming Shangri la and flexibility waiting on DL stinks and so does long loading screens. No better accessory, just buy it quit reading reviews!

This Hard Drive is a nice piece of equipment. I purchased it for the price. Although many had said theyve had no problems with theirs, I did. At first, I got it to work on one laptop that used Windows 8.1. It wouldnt work on other laptop that used Windows 10. My tech guy had to show me how to assign it a drive letter. But Ive had to do that every time I plugged it in. This is the only reason Im giving it 3 stars... I wanted something much easier to work with.
