This drive is great. Backed-up my old laptop, my PC, and the old backup drive I was using. This is definitely faster than the old drive. Although I'll mostly be using it at home, the small size makes it easy to pack in a laptop bag.

I needed an external for my m1 mac mini. The setup was really easy! Also in the digital age, it's best to many backups. Once you lose a drive and don't have a backup, you will never go without one again!

I really like the external portable hard drive, it has 4.54 TB free not 5tb but overall it is plenty of storage to backup my phone and laptop just in case. It is fast to transfer the information too. I do not like that if I loose the cable it will be hard to replace since it is unique. It has been useful.

Works great, and is fast enough for moving big photos and videos on and off. It wouldn't hurt them to provide a longer cable, but it's sufficient.

Easy just plug in and format. I use this for my iPad Pro 12.9 for extra storage. Had to buy adapter cable (usb-micro b to usb-c) then used a mac to format and ipad recognized it no problem.

Best storage device for my PS5. I needed extra space on my PS5 because all the games take a lot of space, and this was a deal for all the space I got.

Was running out of room on my PS4 Pro and wanted to expand the memory so I can store more games. Looked at several external drives and decided on this one. WD has a great reputation, and this particular model was on sale. Easy set up. Quiet while running. Been several months and have had no issues. Got my boyfriend the same one a few weeks later to expand his storage and he loves it. Highly recommend!!
