    Worked perfectly right out of the package. I’m using it to store all my family pictures and videos for my PLEX Server. So far so good. Very responsive and fast for a small form factor external HDD. Recommended.

    Works great, and it's so much nicer to not have to have the DC power cable with it everywhere. Have had it plugged in, transferring files for a few days straight, no overheating issues. I've had MyBooks since early 2000s and this is even better.

    Easily store your memories on a piece of technology. 5 TB is perfect for me. Previously I used an online cloud storage service but the 1 TB for the low plan would fill up too fast. This worked great for my needs.

    Inexpensive, fast and easy to use. I bought this for travel, for a copy of my Adobe Lightroom catalog. with a folder for backing up the photos I take while gone, and it's ideal for that.

    Purchased this for my computer since I only have 1tb internally. You do have to format it which is a whole process thats kind of confusing for new timers. Other than that it does whats its supposed to which is store more videos, pics, songs, etc.

    Another dependable Best Buy product and deal. This is so amazingly light and small- the whole reason I bought it online, to use for future travel, for photos...I was not disappointed when I received it! And the Best Buy daily sales are amazing.

    Hard to believe how out dated my last external hard drive was. Amazing how much photos and videos I already put on this one and barely touch the storage space, Highly recommend.

    Arrived within a day of ordering. This is quite small compared to my other external hard drives but stores just as much. I haven't used it a lot yet, but do not expect any issues as WD has always done well for me.

    Just bought a new Dell 512 SSHD Dell computer and have a lots of photos on my old computer. Needed more memory so downloaded my old computer important data and my pictures from the old computer to the new drive. Now new computer will also back up to this drive giving me more storage. I feel that I will have a faster computer with more storage with the new external hard drive.
