    This thing was super cheap and worked great for my PS5 as an external storage. Don’t waist your money on those game ready drives this one has way more memory at half the price 5tb for price of a 500gb “game drive”.

    This is my second the first was smaller but I have had it a few years now and no problems,,, I got the second one to help separate some things and make some files more portable. I have a cnc so I can do all that work and save all the models and g code in one place for that machine , 5 t may sound like a lot and it really is but if you never want to run out of room this is the way,,,, wish I could run windows bloat 10 on 1 and keep my pc drives clear and running faster :<0) hmmmm I buy these for friends as presents and they thank me later when there pc goes down but they still have all their pictures and videos saved.

    I purchased to expand the memory of my PS4, and it was easy to set up and works perfectly with no problems. No discernible slowdown reading or writing to the external (as compared to the internal), and I have so much more room for games!

    As a photographer using digital camera equipment, I need a lot of dependable storage (especial for back-up off-site storage). I have never had an issue with WD products (something I can't say about some other manufacturers hard-drives). All told I have about a dozen of these drives in various capacities for use in everyday storage and also long-term off-site storage confident that they will work when I need them.

    Kids needed extra storage for Xbox. This device has lots of it. Plug and play. Easy to setup. Fast. Probably would have bought something with less storage if this wasn’t on deal of the day. Happy with purchase. Kids are happy too!

    As usual, my WD external drive purchase is running flawlessly. My last drive, a 1tb MyBook was only beaten when my house literally burned down. I also lost my Passport 1 tb drive. So I replaced them both and upped my storage potential at the same tie. the USB 3.0 makes the file copying a breeze. Setting up the backup software was just as easy. These drives are the most reliable pieces of tech I've ever purchased. The drives I lost in the fire were 1tb drives. That's how long ago I bought them. Worth every cent.

    I really like the capacity and the ease of use of this WB - Easystore 5TB External Hard Drive. I plugged it into my USB 3.0 and backed up my entire desk top hard drive and because it is so fast, I look forward to doing it regularly.

    A Great Little Portable Drive!

    I recently bought a "WD - Easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black", for my Mother as a Christmas gift. I put a LOT of Photos, Music, Movies and Books on this drive for her to enjoy. 5TB holds more than you'd expect. Afterwards she still has over 1TB left to use as "Back-Up" for her Laptop if she needs to. I own three WD Easystore drives, 2TB, 5TB & 14TB. I have found them to be very nice. I Lost two Internal Hard drives to "Drive Failure" and now I keep my fav info, books, movies, photos, etc. on many drives. The Easystore drives work great for this purpose. I'm not taking any more chances with my Collections! Small, Lightweight, Portable drives make it easy to use and carry.
