    Purchased to use for back ups. Easy to set up and enough space (5TB) to back up a laptop. It does the job. Too early to tell how long it will hold up to use; but do we ever know? I purchased when it was on sale, so I got a little more value for the money,

    Excellent extra external storage. Works fantastic and whisper quiet. Pro tip: if you're on a Mac then install the software from WD and the hard drive will work like a charm. I kept fighting with Mac OS to get it to work but then simply installed the application for it and bam worked like a charm.

    Love these portable hard drive’s that don’t require an external power source. Bought this 5Tb version for $89.99 during Black Friday to replace a 500gb backup. All of my drives are WD, bought at least 15- 20 over the last 30yrs. With the advent of lower price and increased storage... why not.

    The easystore series is a perfect blend of function, value and ease of use. Great storage amount for the price, would highly recommend for anyone needing additional storage for files, documents, movies and other large files. Hook into a compatible router for an inexpensive in-home cloud storage solution.

    I am very impressed with the speed nd storage capacity for a device of this size and price. I had been searching for a device with more the 3TB, and almost picked another device. I highly recommend this hard drive, if you have a lot of photos, files, and games that you want to safely store.

    I buy these whenever I see them on sale. I have back ups for My backups lol. And I give them away- like if my mom needs one, I’ll have one on hand I can give her.

    A great product. So much room as I had to backup a hard drive from a desktop that crashed and I was able to save all the pictures and several gigabytes of music that I had collected for many years. It's very speedy and my laptop detected it easily.

    This is my second Easystore HD. It's so easy to use and compact. It's plug and play. Just plug it in, wait for your computer to tell you that it's ready in a few seconds then use it. No app installation required since the software is pre-installed.

    incredible. I cannot believe such a storage solution is this accessible for 2020 into 2021. I dreamed of the day I could buy a product this good back in 2007-08 and it wasn't there yet without being hundreds of dollars. This is the affordable storage solution to end all storage solutions.
