QuestionOnly wish to store over 3000 photos in Galaxy S9. I am running short on storage capacity, which is my best option ? Txs.
Asked 8 months ago by Moni.
- Answer Built-in internal storage (various sizes). A microSD card slot that supports up to about 400 GB of external storage. It does not support “Adoptable Storage” (i.e., merging the SD card with internal storage as one unified pool) in the official firmware.

Questionhello, just wondering if anyone has got this to work with the steamdeck? or the steamdeck dock?
Asked 11 months ago by RyanI.
- Answer Yep, the WD Easystore 5TB works just fine with the Steam Deck and the Steam Deck dock. You can plug it in via USB and the Steam Deck will see it as an external drive, so you can store games and other files on it easily. Just a heads up — if the drive is formatted for Windows (like NTFS), the Steam Deck can usually read it but might have some trouble writing to it. If you want to use it smoothly for saving games, you might want to reformat it to exFAT or something that plays nice with both Windows and Linux.

QuestionCan this easystore drive be used to backup 2 different user's files and photos from the same laptop?
Asked 11 months ago by 504creole.
- Answer Yes, you can use the WD Easystore drive to back up files and photos from two different user accounts on the same laptop. The drive acts like any external storage device, so you can create separate folders for each user to keep their backups organized. Just make sure each user has permission to access their own backup folders. If you use backup software, you can configure it to save each user’s data to their specific folder on the drive. This setup works well to keep files separate while using one external drive.
