Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to set up, stores a bunch, and very sturdy wire for moving around. Great quality for the price

I couldnt believe this was a 5TB and it was this small. Very easy to use. And the price was unbelievable.

The Easystore 5TB portable hard drive was too good of a deal to pass up! It holds so much information for a very small piece of hardware. Also, it's very easy to move from computer to computer and fits neatly under the monitor so it's out of the way. This drive is just what I needed for my office to store a plethora of photos that were stored on different computers. Now, they're all in organized in one place.

The WD easystore external USB hard drive is really small, it's easy to put it anywhere on my desk, even on the top of my computer. It's a perfect amount for storing all of my digital photos and scrapbooking elements. It is a bit slower to retrieve or store than what's in my computer, obviously, but it is a backup for me, and a great price.

To get 5TB of external storage at this price point, only at Best Buy, is a fantastic value. The storage unit itself is great. It literally comes out of the box and is ready for your use. Easy peasy! Western Digital has had their name in the memory game for quite some time now and have a reputable brand and name. I have mine for expandable storage on my Xbox Series X and it has performed flawlessly. You will not regret this purchase!

I have recently gotten into crafting with a Cricut machine, which means I have accumulated thousands and thousands of images. I have never owned an external hard drive before, so I wasn't sure what to look for. We found the Easystore 5tb on sale and one of store representatives stated it was a good brand, so figured I'd try it. It came with the USB cord, plugged it straight into my desktop and started moving my images over to it. Extremely easy!

Compact, light and easy to set up. Works great for extra storage.

Good external hard drive to backup computer and data. No issues. Proven reliability based on my experience.

It has work very well for my needs. I’m a dj and needed tons of space to save my music videos for when I do video djing. I have saved my entire library and have room for more. It works very well with my MacBook Air as long as I pre scan the files. The occasional non pre scanned slows my preview screen but doesn’t stop the software from working.

5 TB of storage, works to store PS4 games on my PS5. Easy to use and a good price.

This portable 5TB hard drive works perfectly. Storage is plenty for most users. I use mine to back up my laptop every three months. it's a perfect size; easy to put in the computer case & take anywhere. I like that it's compatible with the 3.0 USB port. I rated the value good just because prices can always be less. You won't go wrong with this purchase because you can feel confident your information is safe, secure & properly backed up.

I am using this drive as extra PS4 game storage, and its working flawlessly so far. It is a fantastic value.

I got the WD Easystore 5 TB as a back up for my Local NAS system. I had a older 1 TB that I had used for about 5 years and I didn't want to loss any data. I was surprised for the price I was getting 5TB for that amount. As the products states in the name EasyStore I was able to plug the drive into my computer and move the data that I needed over to it and continue to use it as a backup drive for my Local NAS.

It's amazing to see storage commoditized like this -- what would have been ridiculously expensive a few years ago, or just a dream a few years before that, is now the norm. Here WD delivers the standard for home storage. If you need to quickly and easily back up 50 4K movies, all your pictures and documents, or whatever, this is the way to go. Simple, fast, reliable, and affordable.

This is my 3rd of these portable drives. They’ve proven to be reliable drives which I’ve been using to keep backups of data, photos and video. The drive provides plenty of storage and provides peace of mind knowing I have reliable backups of my information.

Great little external harddrive. Works as designed. Stores plenty of things without much concern. Con: 1. This is no SSD. Speed is a factor, however, the price for the device is 1tb vs 5tb in price difference. 2. Moving parts, so concerns of bumping or dropping from accidents. Which will cause data lost. 3. Seems to take a 10 sec boot up and constantly goes to sleep if not used when connected.

I have moved video, audio and other large files off my computer so I can optimize the performance of my computer. Of course, I still have access to all my data. This portable hard drive is easy to use as it connects directly into one of my computer's USB ports. I prefer this direct connection rather than using a blue tooth external hard drive because of security issues.

It holds everything I need and work pretty smoothly

It's 5 TB of external storage. Always keep a backup! The performance is good. It's probably a 5000rpm laptop drive but you don't care about that. These are reliable and I've owned a few as XBox/Playstation storage. With games topping over 120GB per title, these do the job. For your PC, this makes a worth wild investment.

Really cool HDD easy to carry with plenty of storage at a reasonable price.
