The WD Easystore 1TB drive gives you portable access to your data for $45

The WD Easystore 1TB USB 3.0 portable hard drive is down to $44.99 through Best Buy’s deals of the day. Since this is a deal of the day, you know the price is going to expire soon. The last time we saw this drive drop this low was back in early November and it only lasted for a day. The drive sells around $70 and sometimes goes as high as its MSRP at $85.

The Easystore is just that… easy. It’s a simple portable hard drive that you can use to store and transfer data, whether that’d be music, movies, photos, or video games. The 1TB of space is all there for you to use, and it’s in a convenient device that won’t let you down. Since its portable, you can take it with you as well, so it can be a great storage companion for your laptop.

Connect via USB 3.0 for an easy-to-use interface that is super compatible with a wide range of devices. It’s also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 just in case you need to plug into an older port. You won’t get quite the same transfer speeds, but it will definitely still work for you. The drive is also powered by the USB hub so you only need one cable to connect the drive and get it working instead of say some drives that require both a USB cable and a power adapter.

WD also provides some free software and automatic backup options. Use the drive to back up some of the files on your computer and use WD’s software to schedule this effort. It will do the backing up in the background using minimal resources so you can keep using your PC. The WD Drive Utilities software also gives you options to help manage, configure, and diagnose your drive.
