    WD 5 TB drive is small, quiet, and fast transferring data over USB 3.0 at 70+MB per sec. Many drive utilities report heat as an issue with these drive so you must calibrate the temperature in order to be accurate. Good drive, great price, great value

    Great deal and great hard drive. I was constantly having to delete my games because my PS4 only has 1TB built in but this 5TB hard drive came in handy so I no longer have that problem. It was very easy to install too. I love it and definitely recommend!

    This hard drive provides large space but not quite as fast as I hoped. I have Seagate 4tb hard drive as well so in comparison this one is little slower and does not get recognized by computer automatically every so often. No big issues, no problems to use but those are the differences I experienced so far. Satisfied overall.

    I use these drives for backups. The performance has been great. I am replacing 3.5 WD 3 TB drives with these easystores. WD has been a solid product for me. The easystore drives are fast and reliable. Highly recommended.

    Five TB at this price is a no brainer. A great drive at a great price. The only thing that would make this drive better is if it was an SSD, but then it would not have been for sale the $99.00 that I was able to pick it up for.

    This is my fourth WD Easystore portable hard drive and so far it works flawlessly like the others. If there is/are any hitch/es that may occur in the future (hopefully not), I will surely update my review.

    I bought this to back up my home machine and keep off-site (in case home backup was destroyed). Got a great deal and works great. Had to reload quite a bit of software as I have an older WD unit as well.
