Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just plugged it in and off it went. This is a fast drive, I would buy it again. I use it as my back up hard drive. Plenty of storage naturally and very reliable. Sturdy construction, including the connectors.

I have several external hard drives from WD. They are all trouble-free and work as expected. This one is no exception. This one was a gift but in the same household so I know it is doing its job. I would buy it again if I needed another one.

Great hard drive for backing up music photos and files … also good for backing up your computer …. I’ve been using the WD brand for many years and have several older hard drives that are still working just fine .

WD 4 and 5TB drives have been my standard for backing up my computers and for data storage. They have had consistently good performance and even more important have been 100% reliable for the least several years.

Was exactly what I was looking for. I had To replace an older model that was being phased out. I find this reliable recharges well and quickly. It was hard getting use to the split screen. Easy to use

I gave it 3 stars because it arrived quickly. I will update my review of the product after Christmas since it is a gift.

Works great on our Xbox console. As soon as it was plug the machine recognized it right away. After formatting it my son backed up his games right away and the thing started working without a flaw. The price was awesome for a 5TB hard drive.

This WD 5 GB external hard drive is small, 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 x 1/2 inch is easy to use and has enough storage to handle any lap top or desk top. You couldn't ask for more

Plug and play! Easy to use and exactly what I was looking for!

Very easy to use and pretty much a "plug and play" device with little to no instructions necessary. Just plug the USB device in and it just operates as any other zip or external drive. Lots of storage space at a pretty decent price.

Loving this little drive. HUGE space in a small space. Ha ha, see what I did there. But seriously it works great.

A very good external drive. A good volume at 5TB and the size is perfect!!

It’s a hard drive. It’s 5 TB. It was on sale for $89. Back that backup of a backup, up. You can never have to many hard drives and back ups. When one stops working for hardware failure, you still got another....and another. What more to say

Great device so far. Connected to daughters PS5 off recommendation from friend that used the same HD for his PS5 with no issues. Great for storing and playing ps4 games on PS5. Formats quick, runs quick. Only thing i dont like, but its not a big deal, is power light is small and on the back so its hard to see when i want to check to see if its powered on.

I wanted an extra backup of all my data incase any of my hard drives that run 24*7 failed and took all the data with them. This HDD is perfect for that. The transfer speeds are very good, so it's easy to backup. It's also very portable for the size.

Haven’t had any issues with this product! It’s been great. I use it for my pc. Simple set up as you just plug it in and forget about it!

Love that I can use a portable unit like this to back up my iMac using time machine rather than the huge desktop G-RAID unit I had. I was able to Velcro the unit onto the back of the mac so that it was not visible and it works great.

Good price for the amount of storage. I would recommend getting this if you need more memory.

This is the second Hard Drive I bought. The first for an XBOX One, this one for the XBOX Series S. Hold a lot of game data which you will need, especially if you buy the MS Game Pass system. Over 100 games for old and new XBOXs.

Good external drive that provides plenty of space for all your photos and videos. I own several of these drives and have never had a problem with them.
