    they offer 5tb but is only 4.54 so you get 46 gb less than they said, the sofware is force to close several times, anyway i dont use it, but overall is a good size and I get it with a price match so it's ok and i think will be fine. The 3 stars is only about the size because is this case size matters lol.

    Even before the $50 saving this Seagate 5TB external drive was good value. I am using it as an occasional master backup drive and don't mind having a drive with external power supply. For daily use I have smaller self-powered USB drives but these don't yet go up to 5TB!

    Bought this hard drive because I ran out of room on my Xbox 1s. Works great, I have several games loaded on it now. Set up was very easy straight forward.

    Hard drive was exactly I was looking for. Tons of space! Easily transfer my photos and movies so I can take them with me on the go. Hard drive is a good size to be 5TBs.

    The Seagate Back-up Plus (desk top) was very easy to install, and setup. It takes up very little space, and with the 5T capacity, it should last me forever!

    A great drive for backups. I'm using it to back up thousands of image files. The 3.0 speed is fast and it is a pleasure to use. The case has some sharp edges, so you may need to be careful when handling it...

    High capacity, decently fast, and reasonably priced, a couple of these worked out great to help us relay 8TB of footage for a recent video project.

    Having videos backed up on several smaller hard drives made management difficult. With the 5tb capacity I have them all in one place with room for additional files.
