Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is one excellent hard drive, it is easy to attach to laptop, holds all the backup data that I need, one of the best features is it is portable so it doen't need and external power source.

I've had it for about a month now and so far everything's great .. i have other hard drives that need to be plugged in so like it that this one powers through the USB .. like the size and got it on sale so it was reasonably priced.

This hard drive is fast. I copied 328GB to it and it took less than 10 minutes minus all the files it said it couldn’t copy either because they were system files or currently in use. I love how lightweight and compact it is as well as the fact I don’t need an external power supply. It’s just plug and use!

very small for this much storage. when on sale a good value from a well known manufacturer. easy set up. with so many computers having limited memory this is a good idea and good for safety back up

Great product, so far. Compact and easy to connect,

EASY TO USE AND PLENTY STORAGE SPACE. EXCELLENT HARD DRIVE FOR THE COST.

I purchased this portable 5TB hard drive because I needed something which I can take with me as I travel. This hard drive is small and has lots of storage space. I even use it as the backup for my network cloud storage (3TB). Works well!

The product was easy to use and well made. Recommend highly for all storage needs.

Excellent hard drive. Very easy to use and so much space. This is my 3rd Western Digital hard drive over many years and this is just as easy to use as the older versions. I am very glad I purchased another Western Digital product.

I bought this d/t PC space filled up quick with numerous games and I had no clue how to properly place them. So far, it's still holding up and has plenty of remaining space on it. Will buy again with another PC purchase.

Works great, does what it's supposed to do. No failures yet.

I use this external hard drive for my base Xbox One, and so far there have been no issues with either the drive or the games installed on it. This is a good product for anyone wanting to expand their last-generation console or PC.

Very good price for the storage. Easy to use and completely met my expectations.

This portable external storage device provides a one stop shop for backups and file storage. It also doesn’t require an external power supply which makes it easy to carry around and swap between computers.

Been using this drive for almost a month now and have had no issues with it. Easily transportable and installs simply by plugging the USB connector in. Have always had good luck with WD products.

Wonderful product for a fair price. Was simple to setup and basically worked right out of the box. I had this up and running within ten minutes and have not had a single issue with it. Tons of storage that is easily accessible.

Spinning platters, what does it matter. 5TB storage that was does. Small and works. Do my archives as a second source. Cheap insurance.

This Western Digital 5TB portable hard drive is a Great Value for Storage. Compact sturdy and fast. Makes an excellent addition for my in field on location photography work.

I create a large volume of files for two jobs and separate personal files. I therefore have purchased four of these external hard drives so that I don't have to sift through files that are no applicable to the data I am searching. I have been successfully using these since 2014, and I wouldn't be without them...great buy.

Purchased to use for game storage for an Xbox one system. Extremely simple to hook up, designate as the primary location for storage or simply move games from the internal drive to it, and take the drive with you. Definitely worth it.
