Customer Ratings & Reviews

Compact, efficient and mobile storage device that is one of the best on the market. Couldn't be happier with it. I've bought this particular model multiple times over the past few years and have never ever had a problem with it. Ease of use is one of it's strongest features. It's a great bargain especially when on sale.

Nice size for the amount of storage. It's just a little bit larger than a pack of playing cards. Data transfer appears to be fast. However I have not measured the speed. Appears to be built very solid. I have used it to copy files from my desktop, laptop and USB drives without any problems. Great price for a 5T portable drive.

Plug, and play so easy, and compact, and very affordable

Over the course of time, I got 5 of these so each of my 3 kids has one for their personal use (school work, games, pictures etc.). The fact that it has tons of memory and the size is convenient! They can easily unload information from their IPad, computer, to this unit to free up space on their other equipment.

Excellent Hard Drive. Great capacity at 5TB. Works with both Mac and PC. Awesome price. Great value.

One of many reliable Western Digital drives I've owned that have yet to fail. (Unlike the "SG" brand.). Also unlike SG external portable drives, this WD drive has tiny rubber feet to isolate it from the surface it sits on: this only prolongs life and helps keep it running at a near-silent sound. At $20/GB, this is a great value.

Small, light, fast, 5 TB of storage at a great price!!!

This 5TB external hard drive is beast mode! I have so much memory in space I don't know what to do with it plug it into my PS5 now I have download all my ps4 games. Have like 28 games on it and still have well over 4 terabytes of space left over. Easy to use all I had to do is plug it in and that was it.

This hard drive was a steal for the price. My husband had been wanting a hard drive to store a lot of his stuff on as his old one was getting full. I had purchased the 2TB of this same brand and really liked it so I bought him this 5TB for Christmas. He was absolutely thrilled with it. Great little hard drive.

This portable hard drive is very light weight and easy to handle. It is simple to install and use. I had plenty of room to do an initial backup of my C drive and my Data drive and lots of room for future backups. I am extremely pleased with the purchase and would highly recommend it.

Purchased this to use as a backup and extra storage for my Xbox One. I love that its portable and I can take this bad boy with me anywhere. I have stored over 100 games and still haven't made a dent in the storage. Cheaper than buying name brand Xbox brand. I highly recommend this!

The Easystore line is pretty reliable. No problem with any of the Easystore drives I own. I use this one for a couple different iTunes libraries and I have no problems accessing and playing digital media. I have a couple I use for back up. These are really decent drives and I wouldn’t hesitate buying another one.

This little drive holds stuff and it’s small. Just don’t forget to ‘eject’ it when you disconnect it from your Mac. We will see in the years ahead how it holds up.

Very Good Unit all round. Plenty of Capacity. I formatted it easyFat and use it with Windows and Apple computers. It has to be powered via USB and this prevents it from use with iPad using Camera Kit connector. But, I can use a powered USB hub to get around this problem. The unit is very quite in operation. I am still fuzzy and rather nervous as to why I cannot reliably Eject the Unit on Windows (sometime you see ita nd sometime you do not). The reason I am nervous is that if the unit is disconnected with proper eject, I can lose the complete drive - cannot be used or reformatted. This has happened to me several time with such external drives in the past. Wish there was a "guaranteed protection" against this. As of now, I assume the drive is not fortified against that. This is a high risk for me, given that capacity and the backups for which I am planning to use. Barring this, it is a wonderful unit and great value for the under $100 I paid for it.

I bought the WD easystore 5TB HD at 84.99 during Black Friday sale. I am very happy with this small size large memory portable HD. This HD is using USB to Micro B cable which is the same as the cable for WD MY passport HD. So I can switch cable to access my passport HD.

I had to reformat this to work with a Macintosh computer, but once I did, it was surprisingly easy to use. I have had no problems with this hard drive, and it has been excellent for data storage.

The WD - Easystore External hard drives have always worked reliably for me. This is my second one, only because I needed more storage. And the price is right for my budget.

My first unit arrived non-functional. WD Technical Support worked with me to verify the status, then told me to return it to Best Buy. I returned it, and ordered another one. It works great! I use it to backup 2 computers. He backups are quick, and verify properly. Great speed, large storage, and a small footprint.

The Western Digital is an choice for people who use Apple Macs at home for their Time Machine backups. It has enough space for long time and multiple backups. It works well automatically. Best Buy had it in stock and was available for curbside pickup during the pandemic. The price was reasonable.

This is a great product to have for backing up a full hard drive or even multiple computers. I already have 2 others from this company for my gaming systems and had to have this one for the price point, quality and ease of use
