Small and compact enough to fit in your pocket. Easy enough to use it's plug and play. Moves files at a decent enought speed. Inexpensive

After losing valuable vacation pictures and videos when my WD Passport Portable Hard Drive failed, I purchased this Easystore External Hard Drive and love it! The speed is fast and there is plenty of room for all my vacation memories. It may not look as "cool" as some of the Passport drives, but the qualify seems much better. Time will tell, but I now make sure to have my important memories saved in two places!

It's been an excellent drive for backing up my system/data. The USB 3 is pleasingly fast. And, at lesat so far, the drive is reliable. It's size is very convenient. The price was unbeatable.

A really great hard drive for my PC. I have loaded like 25 games in it and hardly moved the needle. Makes for great storage of any and all files. Extremely easy to use. Jack it in to your USB 3 and it works ! !

Great hard drive. I haven't had any problems with it. Huge capacity, small in physical size, easy to travel with, does exactly what I need it to do.

Great little external hard drive. Lots of space and super compact. It's very handy that the power and data transfer cable are one unit, so no keeping track of an additional power source. Easy to travel with.

Got this unit to replace a backup drive that had less capacity in a much larger package. So far it's been a great purchase, a great value. Of course it's not a solid state drive, so not quite as speedy as might be ideal (occasional short lags when opening a folder, for instance), but can't beat the price. It's very quiet as well, unlike a lot of hard drive units. Be aware that, as with most all advertised drives, the claimed capacity is in trillions of bytes, not true terabytes (1 TB = ‭1,073,741,824‬ bytes). So it's advertised as 5 TB, but technically it's about 4.6 TB - that's what File Explorer will show as the TB size, for example.

Fantastic product and extremely easy to use. I just built my first PC and this is fast and reliable. 5TB is perfect for me for a couple of months and this was a great price. I will definitely recommend it to others.

I love how compact it is to art all heavy videos (suck as 4K) and pictures. Very useful and it is what I was lookin for: compact with a tone of space. Easy friendly to use as well, I recommend this product.

Great price, and fast enough. Love the fact that it is compact and uses usb3 cable for power instead of additional power supply. Use this for Backups.

I love this easy store external drive. The size is great for storing backup data files. It’s easy to use and has been very reliable so far.

Good for the price! Reliable, easy connect and slim (somewhat).

If you want a big hard drive for the xbox one, this is a good one to get. price per TB is good and it's real simple to use on a xbox one. It formatted at 4.5 TB. It doesn't need a power supply either

Good product for the price. The performance is on-par with the competition and the price point is value based. Didn't have to do any crazy formating for Windows, just plug it in and go.

This is a massive drive that is very affordable and has worked very well for me. The i/o is very fast even with large video files that I edit. Worth the money. Replaced 2 smaller TB drives.

Great portable, large disc and a great price. I have had WD drives for years, both internal and external. Never had a problem and all are still working (a couple for 8 years).

I have had good luck with WD drives in the past, I have not had one fail as about every 2-3 years they fill up and I need to buy a larger capacity ... so they last. This Particular one is used with Kodi Home Theater Software for Movies and TV shows so it gets a workout. The last one was a 2 TB WD which I used there for at least 3 years but it filled up. A bonus is you get access to a special edition of Acronis Backup and Imaging software which can be used to backup or clone any brand of drives as long as you have the WD drive present. It is easy to use and works across all windows versions. In fairness I have also had Seagate drives and had similar luck with them. I bought this for about $90 on sale so it is a good value.

Bought for my son for Christmas. He says it works great and gives him a lot of storage for his games. Very easy to hook up. It was on sale when I purchased it so win win.

I own several similar portable drives for backup storage because all drives fail eventually. Proper data security requires disconnecting drives between backups, a task made much easier when power cords are not involved. No matter the manufacturer, these types of drive all perform similarly (not as fast as a desktop external drive but speedy enough) and fail at the same rate (often enough that I always keep duplicates). Best Buy offers an extensive range of makes and capacities at very competitive prices. I buy larger capacities because 40 years of experience has taught me that too big today will not be enough before long.

I've used Western Digital USB external drives for well over 10 years now and love how rugged they are, how fast they seem to be and durable for my uses. This 5TB external houses all the extraneous stuff - and there is about close to 3TB of stuff - that I didn't want to reside on the hard drive of my new computer. This fit the bill and holds everything I don't have to deal with frequently some of which might slow down the computer. This along with 2 other 2TB external drives by Western Digital are all I think I'll EVER need to accommodate what I save and keep but it's time to begin culling the over-fill and get rid of some stuff - which I already have. But this WD 5TB drive is small, sleek, sturdy and an excellent addition for my storage needs.
