    I bought this during the holidays for a great price, I use it to store my gopro footage and it works great as I can plug into my desktop or take it with my laptop. Great time saver.

    Great place and lots of storage, I use it as an external drive for my Xbox plenty of room for the 150+ games I have on it. Runs at the same speed as the stock internal drive so no performance issues or long load times. Would definitely recommend.

    Super simple to set up with a Mac. I do however wish that the transfer speed was faster but this was definitely a bargain by and worth every penny. This is my second purchase and I will most likely end up with a third as I use them to store my photos.

    Very simple and easy to use with my Mac. I realized that I could get a better price at Costco on a very similar one after I purchased it, but I kept this one and did not return it since I had already started using it and it seems to work perfectly.

    Bought 2 as backups for music and photo collection. Transferring all those files off my PC made the collection safe and secure. As an additional benefit, I find Windows is running a bit faster and takes updates without hiccups.

    5tb of portable storage for just over $100. You can't beat that. Its small and its pretty quick compared to my old 1tb drive. Great buy. I'm about to buy another one to use as a backup.

    Purchased this for my son's Xbox. Plug and play easy and since I got it on sale, the price was great! It does exactly what he needs it to do for Xbox storage. As with most WD hardware, it is very well made. Would suggest to anyone looking for external HDD.

    Came in a timely manner and worked straight out the box. I use it for storage expansion on my PS4s and it did great. I will say if you plan on moving story games between consoles, save your money because save data can't go to the drive.

    I needed the ability to move a huge amount of data off of a dying computer real fast. Thankfully Best Buy had this drive in stock and I was able to get the transfer done. I’ve had a bunch of drives from this brand and they always deliver the quality

    Have been using WD external drives for years now, starting back when the capacity was only 1TB. Great for on the go backups, be they media, photos, music, or documents. When these go on sale, they are great value.

    I haven't used this external storage very much, but so far I like it a lot. I bought it to supplement the storage of my previous external drive. It is very small--it would be very handy to use with a laptop. It is smaller than my previous 1 TB external drive.
