    I needed this to replace 2 older HD’s. It now also acts as my games drive, and I still have room to spare. No hiccups on function and it’s transfer rate is top notch for being usb 3.0.

    I have had other external hard drives that were not really easy to access the hard drive to upload the files I wanted. This one is much easier. Good choice.

    This is a great offer from Best Buy. I needed a 1 TB hard drive but ended up buying 5TB because the price difference made sense to buy a 5TB vs 1TB. I don’t want to bore you with WD’s quality.

    Bought this drive for my ps4 and has done its job splendidly. Got it on sale for under $100 so it was a win there too. Worth it if you can get it on sale.

    It was on sale at BB, I needed as much space as possible for the right price, and a smaller fingerprint vs an external.

    Works as it should. Easily able to set up using for PS4 without needing to format with a computer. The PS4 was able to recognize it and format it out of the box. Loads pretty quick too.

    Better than expected. Fast speed and power and data all in one cord. The only downside is the cord is a bit short and it gets pretty hot if you use it as a plex server.

    Replaced an old mechanical drive that had all kinds of pictures on it from years ago and now I can’t get it to boot up to view them. So I’ll try this and see how it stands the test of time.
