The 1-1/2 year old Windows-based PC I’ve owned had always given “reminders” that a backup task needed to be set up. Best Buy happened to have a Deal of the Day for this 4TB device for just under $100! Ordered online and it shipped fast. Once hooked up, the PC immediately “saw” it. I then went through with setting up a backup task using the already installed prompts to do so. It was just that easy! The only drawback was the fact that my USB 3.0 jack was on the backside of the PC, in close quarters with my desk installation and the small portable hard drive only comes with an 18” dedicated USB cable, making it necessary to concoct spacers to raise a shelf so that I could set the device on top of the PC cabinet. Your computer layout may be better suited to deal with the VERY short USB cable included with this device. For 4TB of storage, you can’t beat the price!

Great unit - compact and fast! Easy to transport where needed. Bought on sale for $82.99 so also a great deal. Connected to my laptop easily and quickly. Ready to use in 2 minutes.
Small drawback (pun intended). The power/data USB cord could be longer. If trying to use it on a desktop, the unit may end up inaccessible as the cord is only about 12" long. I would like at least double the size to ease connections. Otherwise, I would buy again and make do with the short cord.

Honestly the best purchase I needed for my gaming laptop. I’d highly recommend this product to someone who needs something small, not too bulky, but can hold a lot of storage for the price it is.

As our personal devices get better cameras, the file size of images and videos gets larger and larger. People like me who still backup on External Portable Hard Disk Drives find our Drives filling up faster than before.
I have purchased 1TB WD 'My Passport' External Hard Drives in the past that I still use.
Size: This 4TB drive is smaller in size as compared to a 1TB drive but shockingly 4x the Storage capacity.
Speed: Drive Access speed on initial access is slightly slow as compared to 1TB drive but not a big deal.
Price: I got this product at a discounted price of $80+tax so I have no reason to complain at all.
Just buy it preferably during a sale.
Warranty: 2 years.
Con: An included custom soft storage case would have been nice but you can always pick up a decent one for a few bucks more.

I Love this Easystore 4T external drive! It's inexpensive, plug-and-play, and transfers fast. The backup internal drive in my desktop went bad, so I replaced it with this one. Then I bought a new PC and I use this drive to xfer data to the new computer. Don't need a 2nd internal drive anymore, as this one is compact and just sits on top of my new mini-tower!

A:If "the Easystore series does not have built-in encryption/ password protection utilities. Additionally, the Easystore drives are not of as high a quality and come with a shorter warranty period". Then why is the Easystore more expensive than the Passport when the Passport has better features?
A:Yes, Xbox 1 supports third party external hard drives to be used to serve as either the main storage or backup storage. I know this, because I am currently using (2) 4TB seagates on both of my xbox 1's and they work perfectly fine. I have over 90 games, and its barely over 40% full. As long as the external drive has a USB connection, you will be able to connect it to the xbox to format the drive to work with the xbox.
A:Yes. I currently use it for my PS4 and my PS4 pro. You just have to format the hard drive once you connect it to the ps4, but its super simple and anyone can do it. You literally just follow the steps and takes about 1 minute or so.
A:You can do both, when you first hook it up to your mac you will have to reformat it. Afterwards it will ask you if you want to use it with time machine. Select yes and you can store your files and time machine backups together.
