Customer Ratings & Reviews

I will not buy any external drive other than WD. I have been buying this brand for years and never had a failure. Software companies swear by WD. Other brands have failed. This drive is quite, portable and a quality product.

It is very compact and plenty storge to save my files! it is a very reasonable price too.

easy to use economical small size prefer longer cord so not laying on desk

I purchased this unit on sale for $80 to use as extra storage for my Xbox Series S. It does run older original Xbox and Xbox 360 games from this unit, but not Series S/X titles. I mainly use this for downloading titles, and then copy the titles back and forth from the Easystore to the console.

Very compact, easily sits on top of your XBox. I was very happy to see that it came with a USB 3.0 cable. I'd purchased a different one a few years back and had to go get a cable. Formatting is super easy, just plug it in and follow the on-screen prompts. From plugging it in to ready to go couldn't have been more than 3 minutes. Now my son can download games w/o having to juggle them to make space.

Lovet his external hard drive to help with the memory added to my laptop. It can go with me at home or at our office. Makes it nice to use both places .

With files getting larger and storage constantly running low on external drives this little, yet large capacity, drive comes in handy for many purposes. I do a lot of family photo and video movies of events and then compile them together for each year for archiving on blu-ray disk. A work space like this is great for this purpose. I trust WD drives much more than others and look forward to years of use.

Great bargain and has been reliable so far. 5TB and USB 3.0! Easy to use and set up.

Affordable 5 T backup storage. Compact size. USB connected. Easy setup and use.

Best value for money! Data was intact, despite i/o failures. WD tools installers are on disk, on first use I used it to initialized the HD to exFAT format. When transferring data, encountered I/O error twice in 3 days when copying went over 20 minutes on macOS Big Sur, on Late-2013 Macbook Pro. I erased the harddisk and returned it, but noticed that the I/O error did not occur when secure erasing for more than 16 hrs. This kept me thinking, so I bought it once more same day I returned first purchase. Then same issue with second disk; the disk content disappears, and on force eject, fails to mount com.apple.Diskmanagement.disenter error 0, then on manual mount takes a minute but comes back with all data intact. Then I just thought of trying this with my 2006 Dell Inspiron, old core2 2GB hardware, took a day to install Arch Linux on the laptop, and add exFAT support, after Ubuntu 13.05 also hung copying after 2 hrs. However on Arch Linux on Dell, it has been more than 2 days of copying (16 Mb/s), but there has been no issue. I am glad I gave it benefit of doubt, bought it again, though I had to take trouble of installing a lightweight linux on my old laptop. I don't know why the I/O error occurs on Mac, but work perfectly with my Sandisk 2TB, and WD 1TB all exFat, or incompatibility between macOS Big Sur and exFAT/WD Easystore. Positive points for me are the big space, and that the data was intact despite disappearances.

I had purchased this on Black Friday weekend for $89.99. I got this for my XBOX One to add games since my other hard drive was only 1TB. So this 5TB gives me plenty of room to store even more games can't wait to see how much I'll be able store. It was easy to format just put in your system & it will format it's just that easy. It was cheaper getting this one VS. the official ones for the system.

Works as expected with a large capacity, price was very good and quality seems great!

A great, portable, durable storage device. I have 2 of these and my first one is still running great, prompting me to purchase another one. it's pretty rugged and has withstood all the bumping and motion from being in my backpack during my travels. Has yet to malfunction or not run when plugged in.

Great product! I bought this for my son's Xbox and we transferred all the internal drive data to this external. It was smooth and quick. I've had more than two dozen WD Hard drives (int. & ext.) over the years, and knock wood, NOT one has ever failed me and crashed! I've had three drive from a company that ends in -gate, that have crashed and lost all data. I'm all in with Western Digital !!!
