    I use it to store all of the movies and series on my Dish DVR. Easy to use; just plug into your device, format it and start transferring files (movies). Those files are watchable from the storage drive itself, accessible thru the DVR. I purchased the drive on sale for $99 at Christmas. Highly recommend!

    Reliable and Cost-effective External Hard Drive

    I use these to backup my hard drives and store large sports videos that I don't need to maintain on my computer's hard drive allowing me to free up space on the drives. 4-5TB is ideal for holding two years worth of video files. I've found the Easystore drives to be highly reliable and very cost effective.

    I have two of these. I have had one for a couple of years and it has worked well to back-up my files and pictures. I recently bought another to serve as a redundant, off premises back-up. Easy to use and no problems so far.

    Great, compact drive with a cable caveat

    I've used WD drives before, and have always been happy with their performance. So far, this one is no exception. It is compact and speedy. My only complaint is with respect to the cable, which requires a special connector on one end, meaning you have to carry an extra cable just for this unit. Also be aware the the connector is a USB A plug on the other end; you'll need a hub or adaptor if you only have USB C ports.

    I needed another external drive that had enough space and that is portable because I am a music producer and I'm constantly creating, receiving and sending files. So far so good. Based on the reviews, I'm happy with my purchase. And it was very easy to get it up and running on my iMac.

    This Western Digital external hard drive has great storage space 5 TB and the price is unbeatable at $90 only available on Best Buy. The USB 3.0 cable is still compatible with most computers nowadays for fast data transfer even if the latest USB technology is 3.2.

    Great little external hard drive for backing up everything on my laptop and desktop. The 5 TB is more than enough room and since this is my second one, it's a great insurance backup of my backup. Highly recommend always backing up all your stuff. This Easystore was a great price and works as expected.

    I purchased this as a replacement for my another hard drive, which is low capacity and very old. I got this as black Friday deal from Best Buy. I really like the small size and storage capacity. WD is reputed brand and I'm very happy with the purchase. Easy to set up. I'll highly recommend this product.

    I purchased this about a year ago. I use this as a secondary drive for my 512gb laptop. I run most of my games off of this thing and it does great! I have played games like the new MW2, Battlefield 2042, and R6 Siege. I was very pleasantly surprised by how well this thing works for games. Now, I sometimes experience slightly slower load times for the larger games, but I have yet to experience any gameplay issues due to running off of this external. If you are using a laptop for gaming and find yourself running low on space all the time, I would strongly recommend giving this bad boy a try. I works great for me.

    I needed another hard drive for photo/video storage. After multiple failures in the past with another manufacturer's product; I will only utilize WD hard drives. Have never had one of them fail. I own a dozen of their hard drives in varying capacities. This will be the second largest one I own.

    We were looking for a large capacity external hard drive to backup two computers each with internal 1TB SSD's so we could move some files into "storage" and clear up some space on both computers. Needless to say, this drive has more than enough capacity and was certainly reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

    This thing Is able to store trillions of bytes in a small, quiet, and sleek package with a moderately attractive finish on top of a color that matches everything; the wife loves it for backing up her phone and there is still plenty of room for pirated movies - double win!
