WD 2TB Parts Moveable Exterior Arduous Drive for Home windows, USB 3.2 Gen 1/USB 3.0 for PC & Mac, Plug and Play Prepared – WDBU6Y0020BBK-WESN

Great for PS4 Extended Memory
UPDATE: This drive was about 40% full and 7 months old when it just suddenly died. There was no warning, it just stopped being recognized by my PS4. I connected it to my PC to trouble shoot but it would only display error codes. I reformatted it and it worked for about 30 minutes before it failed completely. I had a second WD drive of the exact same model and size that I used with my PC. It was used once a week for downloads of a few basic, small files. That one worked for about 9 months before it failed and could not even be reformatted. I have noticed significantly reduced quality in WD and Sandisk products and I am not wasting any more of my money on them. My advice: if you buy this, make sure you have a back-up of your back-up because it will likely fail. Disappointed in what used to be solid products. Now I buy Seagate.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I purchased the 2TB as extended memory for my PS4. It was extremely easy to set up and works flawlessly – I have not noticed any delays or issues playing games installed on the drive. I download most digital games directly to the drive and its just as fast as downloading to the PS4’s internal memory. Its nice to not have to delete games when you want to play something else. So far, I’m quite happy with this and would recommend.If you are considering purchasing this for use with your PS4 gaming console, here are the installation instructions:1) Plug in the external drive to PS4 USB port2) Go to Settings > Devices > USB Storage3) Select the external memory from menu and click X on the controller4) Format as Extended Storage.That’s it. The PS4 will format the drive and ask if you want to use the external drive for downloads.To move games or other applications from the internal memory to the external memory, follow these steps:1) Settings > Storage > System Storage > Applications2) Select the game/application you want to move, press the Options button on the controller then select Move to Extended Storage. At this point you will have the option to select multiple applications if desired. Then click Move.It may take several minutes depending on the size of the application to transfer it to the external drive.The application/game will still show up in any folders, etc. so nothing really changes in terms of appearance or access to the game. You can access the external storage by going into Setting and selecting Storage – you’ll see both the internal and external drives listed.Remember – if you want to remove the drive don’t just unplug it (this is true for use on a computer as well).Go to Settings > Devices > USB Storage > select external drive then choose Stop Using this External Storage.I hope this helps anyone considering using this drive for the PS4. So far its worked flawlessly and I would recommend.

Simple and useful product that is durable
I have bought several of these external drives for use on multiple Xboxes, laptops, and desktops. They have never failed on me over many years even when being transported often from home to office to trains, planes, and automobiles. For the price, they can’t be beat. This latest purchase was for use on my new GMKTech n97 mini-pc that is running my Plex Media Server.

This is a great hard drive. I previously had a 1 TB hard drive of WD and that worked really fine. That is why I decided to go for a 2TB hard drive of WD. Though, Seagate hard drives are much better than WD because they are thinner and they sustain for a long time like WD.I purchased it @Rs. 5599.Pros-1. WD is a very reliable name in the field of hard drives. So it is reliable.2. 2-year warranty.3. small in size.4. Reading speed is amazing. I got around 150 MBps/ 1.2 Mbps while reading. (Data was a movie and USB port was USB 3.0)5. Writing speed is also great. I got around 55 MBps/ 440 Mbps while writing on the hard drive. (Data was a movie and USB port was USB 3.0)6. The speed of reading and writing on USB 2.0 ports is also great.7. USB 3.0 cable is already included in the package. So you don’t need to purchase a USB 3.0 cable separately.8. The length of the cable is enough for normal usage.9. The product is original. So you can get is registered on WD website. You will also get your warranty from there.10. Cheaper than Seagate models. (in general)Cons-1. If you are in need of a long USB 3.0 cable then you will be disappointed. The length of the cable is just enough for normal usage.2. The hard drive is somewhat thick. You will get a Seagate hard drive of the same capacity to be slimmer.Final comment- If the price is not a big issue for you and you want a slimmer hard drive then go for Seagate hard drive. Else this is certainly one of the best choices.

I bought this to connect to a Raspberry Pi as a shared storage device for our home network. It’s about the same size as the Pi itself so it’s a good fit. It’s been working constantly without any problems for the last month or so, and we’ve got a number of devices dropping data onto it in a variety of file sizes and types.It comes formatted for Windows, so the only change I’ve made is to ditch the Windows/NTFS partition on it and reformat them as ext4, which only took a few minutes then set up a file share in Samba so it can be used by Windows machines over the network.File transfer speed is good between the host and the drive, to the point where it is viable to use files on the drive directly in applications without first copying them on to a local machine first. That’s not always the case with USB disks used over a network, so definitely a plus point there.I’m not using it as a portable device, and if you are considering it I’d suggest some sort of carry case or bumpers to protect the edges and corners while in transit.In all, this is a good little device that exceeds my expectations, and well worth the money paid.

Hard drive works really well. Recorded programs are very clear. However, end of the cable (came with hard drive) that plugs into pvr had a poor fit. Used an old cable instead and it all works well.
