    After some extensive research, I found this one to be the "one" that would work best for what I needed for. I was looking for a slim, easy to use external HDD and this definitely exceeded my expectations. With the usb cord, I plugged it into my laptop and began my back up and to my surprise over 10k pictures were backed up within no time. Best buy ever!!!

    Though soli state drives are better overall the price to storage ratio is still a bit high. So with some sacrifices (speed for sure), this allows you to get that storage you need while still remaining somewhat portable. For the price it is hard to argue that it can get the job done, as long as you don't expect blazing transfer speeds.

    This has solved a problem of memory space. It was recommended by my brother and he was right about the quality. The biggest problem was lack of instructions. I was able to just copy a file, or a folder, and paste into the Easystore. Otherwise, this seems to be a great options to saving pictures, videos, and files.

    You can depend on this one. If you take good care of it, it will perform flawless for many years. I own it for personal and company use, nothing wrong with it, nice response time (for not being SSD) and the size helps when you need a critical backup of your data or for data transfer between offices (when I travel). Open, use it, it works!

    I needed a portable hard drive in a pinch to repair a damaged cloud storage drive. Turns out I needed this more than just a pinch. The 5tb drive is quick and plenty of storage as a daily drive in my briefcase.

    This is s very solid external hard drive. It has plenty of storage space, but is small and portable. It's obviously not as fast as a SSD drive, but it should be fast enough for most users. It runs pretty quiet too. I haven't had this long so I can's speak to its durability, but it seems well built. This is a great buy especially when it's on sale.

    Only brand we buy! Best Buy no longer gives points if you don’t use their credit card. I’ll be buying from other places from now on due to this final straw with this company and things that have happened.

    The plug and play was easy enough, but you must install the included software and format the device in order for it to work (at least in a Mac). It was a good, non-expensive choice for me with a 5TB drive.

    My new WD - Easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black was so easy to install. I connected it, opened it up, and clicked on the install for PC - boom and done. The only drawback is that I wish it came with a case like my 1TB Toshiba. I carried the cord, my cell adapters, etc. in it and this was much more convenient.

    I purchased this external drive to back up for my pictures and videos. With 4 TB it provides ample storage space and for the price. It was a great purchase. Although it’s not an SSD, it works great for me since I will not be moving this this Drive.

    With terabytes worth of data on our 4TB drive, we needed something that could back up everything at one time. We have 1TB external drives also, but this one makes backup easy. It's quick, reliable (so far) and easy to transport. All for under $100. As long as you are diligent, it becomes your "cloud" for a much cheaper price.
