A Workhorse!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These drives are as good as any other drive or better. Be sure to always do a test on the drives with DiskGenius, it's free software and it checks the drive for ease of mind. It doesn't matter what brand it is, always check. I bought a WD Black before this one and it had a lot of sub-normal sectors. This one is great as you can see from the test, it's on par with other drives I've tested.

Fast. Simple. Bestbuy is a better way online!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Tremendous price on a great product.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
