Unclog your computer Hard Drive. Easy to install via a USB port 3.2 & is backward compatible. Operates without having to install additional software. Small size is easily transportable. This is the 3rd WD - Easystore 5TB external Drive I have purchased from Best Buy. Highly recommend.

This is very easy to connect and move files to. Uses an included usb cable. It’s very compact (the size of a mouse). I’ve had no issues using it all.

Had to buy it for my PS5. Perfect and it works! The only thing the console needed to do was to format it. I own a lot of these over the years. They also work for MacBook pros. Thanks

Great simple portable 5 Terabyte Hard drive. It'll fit in a pocket.I've been a Western Digital fan for 20+ years. Always a digital pack rat, saving photos, web sites , software back ups, copies of my phones over the years. Simple plug and drag or copy I moved a terabyte of my 15 year old Western Digital information plus laptop backups to the Bestbuy WD 5T. Very fast transfer & copy rates. This device requires no external power plug in. Just the cable it comes with.
Gotta say... I am more comfortable buying electronics from a brick and mortar store even though I normally use delivery to my door. 24 hour safe delivery. No fake electronics from resellers or the guys with the smillie Prime trucks.

I bought this external to supplement my PS4. Small foot print and light weight. Added bonus it was on sale. Nonetheless, plenty of space on the unit and very easy to format and use.

This Easystore is small, portable and with 5TB who could go wrong. I need a ton of these for all the projects I am working on and need to give them to clients as well.
I ran out on Thanksgiving night to get the deal. Saw that TV6 had a live shot going and took a video and photos of reporter Alexis Ware for her first live shot --- and at Best Buy!!
Came back several days later and you still had the deal so got as many as I could.
