I was looking for a big, fast hard drive to back up thousands of music files and a large amount of other data. This fit the bill perfectly. It's obviously huge at 5TB but also accomplished the job in what I considered a relatively short period of time.

As someone that travels and takes a lot of pictures and videos, this was a must have. This drive is sleek and very easy to set up. In addition, the price value for a 5TB drive was awesome.

Purchased this item to add additional storage to my Xbox One. With all the new games coming out requiring more and more storage l needed to upgrade at a reasonable price. This was the answer and had no problems hooking it up and having Xbox format it. Lots and lots of storage.

It has pretty good capacity. And fast enough to read and write but not really fast though. And little bit noisy. But good price.

I bought this hard drive for my Xbox One because my 1 TB External Drive I had was full. I picked this one because of it's size of 5 TB and I tell you what I am not disappointed in it at all. I have all my games installed on this and I still have only used 35% of it used so I know it will be a very long time before I will ever need to buy another and I recommend this one for the price and Quality of it!!!

Bought this as an external HD for my XBOX ONE. Works great! Quick easy set up and super fast transfer speeds. My XB1 HD was 98% full, transferred all my games and save data to this and it only took up 6% of the space!

I bought the 500GB Xbox One and within a few months almost filled the hard drive. I bought this device and after a quick setup I have enough space to last on my Xbox One. I could not recommend this product more for the Xbox One.

We all know that the Xbox One and PS4 require alot of space. So far I havent had any issues with the harddrive. I wish i could have gotten a 8tb but it was $250 but a 5TB for $124.99 best purchase i could make.

As we all know the storage systems just keep getting larger. When I went looking for this drive, I had purchased the same model for use at work at 3TB. When I looked for that drive again, the 5TB was suggested and the price was lower than I had spent three weeks earlier for the smaller drive.
Set up is incredibly easy. Find a power outlet (not the easiest thing in my household these days) Locate the appropriate USB port. 3.0 preferred but the drive is 2.0 compatible. You will suffer the expected loss of speed using the 2.0 though. Turn on the drive, copy files.
Pairing the drive with my newer vintage Netgear Nighthawk router, using their EasyShare technology, I was able to plug the drive directly into the router and make it immediately available to the entire home network. With a drive this big, I will have backup for the five Pentium systems and multiple mobile devices for a long time to come.
The only down side I've seen, so far.... where and how do you back up this monster!
