    Got this baby on sale and glad I did. My fiancé wanted one as well as she’s a photographer and we should have enough storage for years to come haha. Love the size and actual size of the drive is similar to 1-2 terabyte drives which is nice. It doesn’t need its own power or anytime. Highly recommend

    Needed a secondary hard drive to back up music in case the primary one took a bad turn and stop working. Western digital hard drives are pretty reliable and easy to use. Price was fair for its size this is my 2nd 5TB I’ve bought in the last year.

    Very reasonably priced and works perfect. Good memory to empty my lengthy videos and files to keep my computer running smoothly and on the same hand keeping a backup of all my computer just in case if something bad happens like my computer crashed after buying this just 3-4 days after. Thank god i had the backup (Time machine and memory) I totally recommend this product

    I caught this on sale during black Friday. I got it for my PS4 and it has not disappointed. First, you can't beat the price (under $100) or the performance. I backed up all of my entire catalog of games and I still have well over 4 gigs! Truly amazing!

    The drive works well for the price. I don't use any of the included software -- just Windows Bitlocker. Drive stays relatively cool after extended use. I saw from my security camera that the delivery man chucked this drive in the package like a football from the sidewalk. Ran diagnostics and a full write cycle, and it seems fine. Thank goodness for the padded packaging.
