    (Using on an Xbox One S) Cute little thing with a lot of storage space. Came with everything needed to set up. Console read it and formatted it quickly. Fast enough that I don't see a difference between it and the internal hard drive. I have had it only a few days but I have not encountered any issues so far.

    Bought this to install in my PS4 since the internal hard drive was filled to the max. Plugged it in. Formatted the drive with the PS4. Then set as primary. Moved all my games over. I don’t see a change in performance or load times. Actually seems faster than the internal stock had by a little. Been using for a month now with no issues.

    I've had external drives before but the price for the capacity makes it far and away the best so far. As usual with drive capacities; HD and Ext HD eg., the final usable space is somewhat less than advertised. But the only drawback is that the 5TB turns out to be 4.5 TB. Worked it for almost a week now and it has performed flawlessly!

    My already-huge 3TB portable hard drive was starting to act strange, not opening and such. I took it in to the Geeks, who said it was four years old and this happens, I should replace it. I found this 5 TB drive on a half-price sale five minutes later. Everything loaded onto it quickly and I am much relieved. Another good experience with Best Buy.

    I have purchased two of these hard drives and I have never had a problem from either. These work well for a mid-range hard drive, great for those on a tight budget. The 5 TB will take a while to fill.

    I use this external drive to backup all my photos and videos. Its portable and has a good transfer speed if archival is your primary objective. In fact, you may even use this to edit (on the fly) in a pinch without sacrificing too much. A must have. I have 8-10 of these and similar types lying around.
