Customer Ratings & Reviews

Lots of storage, fair price. Cheaper and more secure than the cloud. Portable too.

Needed to upgrade to larger size. Simple to use and fast with the USB 3. Great price for a 5tb drive. Would definitely buy again.

Love my new portable hard drive. Small and very easy to use. Definitely recommend to those on the go. Price is very reasonable

I've only had this a short time, but it is a quick and easy plug and play device with lots of room for back-up. A great drive for the price!

Nothing but a hassle???? Hmmm, you made the assumption without checking the product. The factory package can withstand normal shipping and handling. I have purchased several of these drives to be used for games. Reconnecting the drive from the laptop to the desktop is far easier that copying the files. I also use one for external storage on a Xbox series X console and it works awesome. These are great little drives for the price. I will be buying more. Highly recommend full format for best performance.

Plug-n-Play ease of use. It does include software for automatic file backups, but that is not why I needed it. We are using it in our office to keep an on-site backup of critical files that were being moved to a cloud server. Once the file transfer is complete we will likely use the backup software. The drive was on sale when we bought it, so the value was great even though I went to the store planning to buy a 7 TB drive or larger. I have an almost identical drive that I have used personally over the past three years, and it has been excellent.

Small body, yet 5 TB storage capacity! Very stable; and easy to use. Most of all, very reasonable price for 5 TB!

Great hard drive. Tons of space for not that much money. Also is very portable and easy to carry as well as being very easy to set up.

Easy to setup, easy to recognize on the computer, reliable and fast. I use it for holding video editing content. I would buy it again.

Excellent price, Western Digital items seem to last longer then other brands that I have use in the past, 5 TB seems to hold a lot of pictures

I always have good luck with WD External USB Hard Drives. This WD - easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive is no exception. It installed without any issues and works fine with my SyncbackSE backup software. I bought this drive as a Best Buy Daily Deal, so the price was excellent. I have WD External hard drives in 1T, 2T, 3T, and now 5T and haven’t had issues with any of them. Although I wouldn’t recommend dropping them, they hold up well to some jostling and moving around. They seem to be sturdy, easy to use hard drives.

This thing is my favorite. Its super portable and lightweight with a great amount of storage. Getting it on sale was a plus. I use it all the time and never have a problem with it

Took no time fill PS4 internal hard drive with games and the constant updates in the queue. Straightforward setup and was cheaper than other models with less capacity that are branded for PS4/XB1. It's no slower, could be faster than the internal drive, so there's no reason not to pick one up if you're running out of space. Install times are super annoying and I miss being able to toss games in and play them (updates from release are good but still irritating...seems games are less polished on release these days).

My 4TB WD Dive started taking longer to respond as it was more than 90% full. This simple upgrade to the 5TB drive cleared the issue. I have used WD external drives for more than 10 years and have enjoyed very high performance. I highly recommend this drive.

I love how small it is. Unlike the other big ones this one doesn’t need a power cable. Very portable and convenient with a ton of storage

5 Terabytes is plenty big for me to store all my music, movies, and important files. I even have one for my game console. Perfect if you have to many games in your library and want to offset some to an external storage device. I recommend you grab some Velcro and stick it on the surface of this har drive and your system if it’s gonna be stationary and you don’t mind some minor adhesive residue on the surface when your finally decide to remove the Velcro.

WD - Easystore 5TB external drive is good for a quick backup of my MacBook Files. They are dependable and last long and is convenient to carry in my backpack. I highly recommend this drive.

Love this hdd. Quick transfer and no hassle. Just plug and upload!

It’s 5TB in the palm of your hand with no AC cord. Affordable. I have 4 of these and they are great. This is it until SSD becomes norm.

Bought this to store my pictures from past vacations on and to back up my computer. Lots of storage, easy to use, and great price!
