    Definitely works, it is fast and the storage is great. The only thing is the organization after you backup your laptop is not the best.

    Bought this as a black friday deal of the day. $89 was too good a deal to pass up for this amount of storage. My use is as a working drive for a laptop I use for graphic design and video editing. It holds up well but there is a 3-5 second delay when accessing it once it has spun down. I expected that from a portable but I think there are probably others that might be a little quicker to spin up. Probably much more expensive and an a portable SSD with more than a TB of storage is MUCH more expensive.

    This is a solid 5 TB External Storage Drive.....plenty of room for my files. Suggest that if you have any files that are important, then you should transfer to a external drive - in case your pc dies on you and you have to trash it ..you know info on internal HDD are hard to recover if your pc decides to die on you.

    Decent Backup Drive

    Bought this as a backup drive for my wife's files and camera pictures. It works well, portability is great, but I guess I'm just used to using SSDs daily now, and this is not an SSD, so it's quite slow when writing large backups. It's honestly faster to back up your files to the cloud, and then download them to another PC in the time it takes to make a backup onto this drive. Still, it's decent and I got it on sale for less than $100, so 4 stars from me.

    I was shopping for a 1TB hard drive but this 5TB was on sale. It has more memory than I needed but couldn't pass up the price so I purchased this one. So far I am glad I did. Works great, good value in a small unit.

    Bought a similar one for my son. Liked it so much I got one. I can store all my data to take on the road. Large storage size small package. Single cable connection. We can take our media with us to the cabin for when we're stuck indoors over the winter visits. There's a lot to like. USB for any machine's use.

    Excellent storage space and adequate speed for anyone looking to free up space on their 1TB PS5 SSD. Not as fast as an SSD, but it performs very well when storing and playing PS4 games on your PS5. And 5TB should me more than enough to store all of your favorite throwbacks, as well as many others!

    This is my 2nd purchase of this brand. Not because of any problems with my previous purchase, quite the contrary. My prior purchase worked so well that, when the opportunity arose to acquire a similar product at a great discount, I could not pass it up. I plan to keep this in reserve for future back-ups.
