    Lots of storage in a compact space, easily portable. Speedy enough for moving big files thanks to USB 3.0. I can't vouch for the included backup software because I haven't used it, but overall I'd say this a good option for backups, video storage, and general everyday use.

    A little big physically compared to other drivers I own. That said it is relatively fast and super easy to use. At 5 tb it’s a great backup

    I bought this when it was discounted to about $90 to store a lot video recorded over the air, and it's been working very well. I've had a couple issues with it on one of my 15-year-old computers, but after I sorted that issue out, it was smooth sailing.

    I haven’t actually loaded anything on to this drive yet, but I am basing my review on other Western Digital drives I have. They make good quality drives. I have a lot of movies, music and photos and this drive has plenty of room for them and more.

    I bought this 5TB external hard drive as a deal of the day 51% off special offer. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I wanted to have a back up external hard for my PS4's 4TB hard drive. It's great being able to store a massive amount of data in a small portable device.

    Great 5tb external drive. Easy to plug and use. My preference is to reformat and use all availability storage. Will likely get another one soon and archive all my jpg and videos-only using purchased one for backup at this moment.

    I just needed something to transfer files with my partners after filming concerts. We usually transfer about 2TB back and forward. This was small in physical size but big in data space. And pretty fast.

    This hard drive works perfectly fine with my Xbox Series X. There's not much to say other than its pretty much a plug in play device. With that said setup is super easy. Just plug the device in and you're pretty much all set to go. I highly recommend this product.

    Only a sort time ownership however, I'm happy with my purchase and I bought 2 of these as back drives. I got these on deep discount and will buy this again. I feel these are good value and reliable. These are often on daily deal if these go for $79.99 BUY THEM.
