Awesome HD
After searching for the best method to consolidate my photos and videos I came across this 5 TB HD. It is user friendly and gets the job done. I’ve had it for over 5 months with no issues. And storage space is great, after transferring most of my items I’m not even halfway full.

Great External Drive
There’s just no beating the value on how much storage this gives you. Perfect for storing movies, pictures, anything you can think of really so long as it’s not something that’ll require fast memory speeds like modern gaming.

it do be storing stuff
Solid amount of storage, bought it for my dinky laptop so I could fill it with games and I've barely made a dent in the storage. The cord connecting the device to my laptop can be a bit finicky (nudging it occasionally disconnects the device), but that's on my menace of a cat and his personal issues.
