[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Giant 4TB Western Digital External Hard Drive is my families Firebox of Memories and General Info. Super secure , it offers so much instant storage, we can’t imagine actually filling it all! We’ve all had the pitfalls of lost information and memories through broken computers, failing fans causing overheating, and even theft - we decided it’s not happening again!! This awesome hard drive stores all our info and memories safe and separately - avoiding any possibilities of loss and providing the ease of mind that anyone who has lost a computer or phone will never take for granted. We knew to go for western digital as they have been a front runner of hard drive tech since we can remember and have certainly gone above and beyond what we needed! Extremely user friendly setup and use, if you can click a mouse, you ll have no issue securing your life with this powerhouse hard drive of awesome!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great external HDD. Looks very clean next to my pc. Simple black shell makes it blend in very well. I would recommend this to anyone that needs more storage for their pc or console. Speeds are good, and has a power button in the back so you can turn it off at night.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This external looks sleek and runs great! Perfect for transferring movies, pictures, and documents. It's also perfect for backing up a computer. 4 TB was the right call for me; now I can store all my media in one place. It's light, portable, and easy to take on the go as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work with a lot of data at work and have experienced some extremely slow speeds on my computer because of it. This will absolutely revolutionize how I'm able to store my data, and continue pushing forward at work with speed and precision! Highly recommend!

Works Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, so good. We're using this for extra storage for a gaming computer in my sons room. He's downloaded plenty of video games, music and videos and needed the extra storage space and with this unit, he's getting exactly what he needs.
With moving so many files over onto this unit, it has freed up allot of space on his computer therefore allowing a much smoother experience.
Nice, sleek design to the unit itself and sits right next to his computer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WD 4TB Elements Desktop - WDBWLG0040HBK-NESN
I have been in the market for a desktop hard drive for some time, after my other one stopped working and I lost all the content on it. After hearing and reading rave reviews about the Western Digital brand, I decided to go with their WD 4TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive - WDBWLG0040HBK-NESN. I really didn't need 4TB of space, but for the price, it was well worth. I loved how it was an easy plug and play ready for Windows PCs, as I wasn't ready to give up hours of my time to read through instructions or follow lengthy step by step instructions to get the WD 4TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive - WDBWLG0040HBK-NESN up and running.
I couldn't believe just how fast the data transfers were. Now I can free up a bunch of space on my computer with the use of the WD 4TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive - WDBWLG0040HBK-NESN and it makes my computer run much faster. And, I don't have to worry about losing important files and documents as they are backed up and stored in no time with this high-capacity storage unit from Western Digital. If you have been looking for a desktop hard drive, I highly recommend the WD 4TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive. This is also a must for gamers who use XBox and PS4 and need extra storage.
