Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use a great deal of storage with my computer. This 5TB portable is ideal for carrying those files and apps with me. It's relatively small in physical size, but it's a giant in capacity! The price was very reasonable as well.

Well if your going to back something up you best get something small easy to move around and store. So far I've bought about 8-10 of these drives of various sizes from 2TB to this 5TB. They are all still working, (One 2TB drive has some problems copying/reading but still spins up, don't use it anymore.) Some are over 9yrs old still running. To me I don't like the cloud, a home network is better (unless your house burns down ><). $220 gets you 5TB of storage no fees lasts about 8+yrs, wasn't possible a few years ago. $220 cause you need 2 drives, make sure you back it up ;O) you don't want to ever loose 5TB of information.... "EVER".

So glad I bought this. I have an older laptop that is starting to get to the end of its life. I didn’t want to lose all my files/music/photos, etc. I also wanted to get some of the photos from my phone saved somewhere else to clear up a bit of space. This hard drive was great. I went with 5 TB because I have a lot of stuff and also want to have room for more. It was super easy to use, and it’s small enough that it will store very easily.

Small but fast drive with 5TB of storage. Light and easy to pack if your a traveling photographer.

Good storage and easy setup. I like the size and it sync up immediately with my Playstation 4 system.

So far this external drive has been very reliable and definitely affordable. I use this to store my back ups in case my regular SSD happens to fail or SD card. This is a very powerful tool for those who film or photograph big events. Have a back up for your back up always! Does an amazing job, highly recommend

I have been using this product for about 2 years now mostly for backing up documents, pictures, and movie clips. So far so good, small size, and easy to use and carry. Higly recommend with reasonable price for good size of storage.

I love this external drive. It's small, but holds 5gb and does not require external power, it gets power from the 1 USB port it's connected to. I've had 4 of these drives for at least 2yrs and every one of them is still running perfectly, so I consider them reliable. They take up very little storage space and easy to connect and use.

Fantastic product. Ease of use, compatibility is genuine as described, no glitches, able to handle a huge amount of data, no slow start up! Transferred over 700 CD’s still well over a half of storage space remaining! Love love love it!

Upon buying the external hard drive I was in search of a device that was simplistic in its functions and would deem user-friendly for someone who wasn't entirely computer savvy when it came to hardware. I wasn't pleasantly pleased with this purchase as it exceeded my expectations. It took about 3 minutes for me to configure the device and start transferring over files. I was also surprised by how much storage was left remaining after I had transferred over almost every file on my computer. I was shocked to see the storage capacity barely moved a notch. I am very pleased with my purchase. My computer now runs much smoother and with less interruptions and stalling issues. I fixed my issue without having to buy a whole other computer. This was definitely a great purchase.

This Easystore 5TB drive is a solid choice for anyone needing lots of portable storage. It’s fast, thanks to USB 3.2, and works great for backups, media libraries, or file transfers. Compact, sleek, and plug-and-play — no complaints so far!

This WD EasyStore 5TB external drive was super easy to setup and with the USB 3.2 port, the transfers from computer to this drive are lightning quick at a very affordable price. I use it to store my raw 5.3K GoPro Videos before I have to edit them to save space on my CPU hard drive and the videos transfer fast. Highly recommend.

The drive does it's job. I use them for movie storage and I have 6 of these WD easystore drives, the oldest is 4 yrs old and all are running great. I don't baby these drives at all. I take them on the boat to watch movies while fishing also camping etc. The only complaint I have is WD's hiding of what the magnetics format is. Whether it is recording in CMR, PMR or SMR matters but that info is hard to find from WD.

Slim. Portable. Easy to use. A ton of storage. Greta quality

I have been a user and fan of Western Digital USB drives for a number of years. I've used the 4 TB model of this compact drive for a number of years and so, when faced with the uncertainties of Microsoft's OneDrive, I needed more file space that I controlled totally. This new 5TB model fit the bill and my budget. Very reasonably priced at Best Buy!

Lots of storage and easy to use. Great value as well. Very compact as well.

Superior performance and great amount of storage for the price (on sale) This drive has operated very well and does not need to be plugged into an outlet to work. Comes with a USB 3.0 cable and loads its own software. Great portable hard drive, small, but high capacity.

The WD Easystore 5TB portable hard drive is a reliable storage solution with USB 3.0 connectivity for fast data transfer. Its compact size makes it easy to carry, while the large capacity provides ample space for your files. It's a great option for backing up and transporting data.

Great additional storage. This little portable drive is lightweight, small, and easy to connect and begin using. At 5Gb it stores more than the casual user will probably ever need. I use it as a primary physical backup drive for my main desktop. The portability allows me to take all my files anywhere I want to. It's is fast and very reasonably priced.

I love this hard drive. It holds a lot of data for the size . It does not take a lot of space. Very easy set up, up and running in no time at all.
