Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in External Hard Disk Drives
Small 2TB HDD with read/write about 120/120, usually around 80/110 when copying large files. USB male end of cord means it plugs into anywhere, great use as a video streaming medium between a workstation and a laptop (I can hold entire Netflix seasons on here!) Overall, great “mega USB” and a great find for about $20-25 per TB if you can get them used. Phenomenal gift for the tech person in your family! It’s hard not to love larger, faster, and more versatile storage capacity than even a USB 3.1

Top brand name, just cannot get it to work with my windows 10 computer, I have read the instructions and went online for more guidance. Wish I had bought a back up that I can just plug in and use.

This was a good transaction! My other WD drive went bad with several bad sectors, and my Seagate began randomly disconnecting causing issues with access and backing up. Purchased 2 of this 2-TB units and got all my data transferred from the old drives without any issues. Still using the old ones until they completely die but I'm glad these are brand new and working wonderfully. Thanks!

For the price it is/was I'm glad I bought it. It takes the load off of my laptop's internal storage and allows me to Install my games and such on it, many at that. It is something I recommend if you have low storage capacity and are looking for an alternate place to install any large program.

This is a great little drive. It has a great price too. I have two of these already so adding two more was an easy decision. The previous drives were used as full hard drive image backups. These will be used as data backups. My VAIO laptop uses 2.0 USB ports. I did a full file-by-file no compression backup of an Essentials desktop WD drive to this drive and it took about 20 hours for 2 TB! I believe I should have done a "clone" rather than "backup" because I wanted to see the individual files and folders. I just wanted to be able to swap out the drive in case the source were to fail. Then just reassign this destination drive as the original drive letter. The drive looks nice too. It can be driven using a single USB connector.

Pros: This is WD's basic external hard drive for those that want to manually copy the files they want, when thy want, an easy process for many that prefer this over using backup software. I have purchased several refurbished models (3) from the WD factory store and all worked flawlessly and the price is right. Cons: Really the only one is that the formatting used does not work on the old XP OS, The drive can be reformatted to an older version (ie exfat) that is not as good. I forgot that and was frustrated trying to copy some large files from an old computer. Really not the drives fault that they moved on to a newer and better format. I left it as is and used a different method since it works fine on Windows 7 on up.

It was easy to format to work with my Mac and has worked very well! I'm very happy.

Realize that a USB drive will never attain the speeds that one gets with an internal SATA drive. Instead of 150 MB/sec, one sees such speeds as 22 MB/sec; but it is still a beautiful backup drive. I've used it as the Virtual Memory area for Photoshop (which will soon be switched to an Internal SATA drive because of the speed increase potential... but still, it did well. I've been backing up my system on it every 2 days using the free program EaseUs ToDo Backup. And I've even re-installed from this drive. On my system, for unknown reasons, the drive could be seen when I plugged it in the USB 2.0 port; but not when I plug it in the USB 3.0 port; but that's just a strangeness having to do with my particular compute, not something having to do with this drive. Is always seen by my system when I plug it in. Have never had a problem with it. Read full review
