    Super easy to set up and its works with the PS4 and PS5. Games now a days take up a lot of space. You will need one or 2 of these to keep your game collection ready to play without having to wait to install because you have to be deleting games to make room to install the ones you want to play.

    Xbox 1 yes... Series X No.

    I got this thing quite a while ago for my Xbox One x, it's been working absolutely fantastic. If you can believe the Xbox it actually has a 600 MB transfer rate speed, at least that's what it has showed every time I had to transfer something to or from it. But now for the disappointing part, I got a series x finally, and so I put most everything I could onto this drive and plugged it into my series x so that I would not have to redownload them, unfortunately every game I tried to launch forced me to redownload a series x/s optimized version of it, and once this happened the system said the only way you could launch these games was on the internal drive. ☹️ Half the games that are not optimized would refuse to launch whether it was in the internal or the external drive. ☹️☹️ Microsoft really screwed people over on this... Looks like they should just put games on each their own little cartridges. Since I can only fit like six on the internal.

    very nice, I bought this as a back up drive after buying a 5 tb black WD portable drive. Hooked them both up using a 4 port usb hub and they work together seamlessly. About once every ten days I back up the portable hd to the easystore, progessive backup usually takes about an hour

    Got this external hard drive for Christmas as we have tons of pics and music I want to have backed up. Offers plenty of storage. Easy to use and set up - just plug (in) and play. So far so good - no issues. Very compact but robust.

    I like this product as I've a lot of videos, images, and important files to store. So I took a tour on my favorite tech shop "Best Buy" and I found this hard drive at a good price. I didn't hesitate to buy it. And even I told my friends about it, and they all bought themselves.

    So far so good. Using it on a Mac for some files and Time Machine backups. So reformatted the drive into two volumes....using Mac formatting. Works fine. I don’t use the supplied backup software so I just wiped that out. I’ve always liked WD. I think they are better quality than the rest.....and this was a great price.

    Have been using these drives for years for movie and game external drives... not as fast as new SSD but you can get a 5 TB for less than a 1 TB SSD... and still plenty fast for movies and for playing games right from drive, except for series x and ps5, better as storage for those

    I’ve been thinking about a second back up device for a while and finally bought this 5 terabyte compact device on Black Friday for a good price. My first Western Digital was much bigger and bulkier but it has been very reliable. The only issue was formatting the device that took some time but love that’s it’s compact.

    I'm using this as a MacOS time machine backup drive. I'm happy with performance, and at least for this application it's just as fast as the solid state drive I had been using. Because I'm backing up a MacBook, I can't comment on the built-in utilities. I basically wiped the drive clean to make it MacOS compatible.
