    I am absolutely obsessed with this pocket sized 5TB drive. It is incredibly fast and easy to use. There is only one issue - it comes formatted as NTFS - so you HAVE to reformat if you are going to use MAC. Normally drives are formatted FAT32 so PC or MAC can use them out of the box. Other than that - great drive at a great price.

    I had purchased the WD Easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive for my PS4 Pro because the previous external hard drive became defective. So far, it works with no issues and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend giving this external hard drive a try if you're looking for an external hard drive for your game console.

    Works well even in a Rapspberry PI, but requires a separate USB3.0 powered hub, separate power supply from PI. best way to create a NAS storage. the power down function works great and is not really noticable. Fair price to have redundand backup of data.

    The WD - Easystore 5TB External USB drive was on sale recently as a Best Buy Deal of the Day. I needed the extra space for my backup and I could not turn down the excellent price. The USB 3.0 has great transfer speeds and for this price I was thrilled to purchase it. Thank you Best Buy for keeping the price so reasonable.

    For some reason this drive came with old outdated software and drivers that doesn't even belong to it. But other than that I can't believe how well it performs and it's huge for less $ than a 1TB. Going to buy another one

    Love it. My laptop was on it's last leg and I needed to transfer everything to my new computer. A+. It's quick and compact. 5TB is a ton of space too and might be overkill for my needs, but at least I won't have to buy a new hard drive for a while.

    I am very happy with this purchase. It's still holding up and hasn't given me any issues the whole time I've had it which is about a year or so. So defintely a brand I trust.

    Fairly fast, huge storage for size, great price. It's not the best option for external storage, but if you move it between devices frequently, it's a nice feature to not need an external power adapter. I wish the external casing wasn't so bulbous and ubiquitous though. I have trouble telling if I'm holding it upside down or right side up since they feel the same. I wish it was flatter on the bottom so I wouldn't have to flip it around half the time when plugging it in.

    I do at least 3 total system backups that I want to save. I backup once a month (all files, pictures, etc on my desktop) and follow this pattern every month. The oldest is deleted when I need to make a new backup. This drive is big enough and dependable to do what I want. I take it with me when I travel.
