    So much storage and has great speed at USB 3.0 but also for a great price at Best buy. Use this for a lot of Gaming and also for Professional Photography storage.

    This external hard drive is exactly what I was looking for. It is very easy to use and set up. I use it for my PlayStation and I have downloaded a lot of games and still have plenty of space.

    Easy to use with my iMac time machine which is exactly what I bought it for. Great reliable backup option and absolutely plug and play for the time machine to do its automated backups.

    Bought this when it was on sale and for the price at the time, it isn't bad at all! 5TB for 80 bucks is a steal. One year later, still works great.

    It is small and fast, holds lots of data and can go with you if needed. Only had it for a bit, so not sure of durability, but am hoping it holds. Got it on a Daily Deal, so the price was good.

    Product is great. Doesn't get too hot when I am backing up a large amount of files. Easy to store and easy to use. This is the second one I bought and highly recommend for anyone who has a lot of files to backup.

    There's a reason why so many other drives are more expensive. They are reliable. Let it be a lesson you don't have to learn, just spend more money on a reliable drive. It's better to have something reliable instead of something faulty. My experience: For the first month I loved this product. Took a little long to setup, but I finally got it running and IT'S FAST!!! Transferring 32 gb worth of videos and photos was done in less than 5 minutes. It's also a 5gb storage device for less than $100. It's the best deal, But something happened and now it's not working. I can't even read the files I stored into this. This problem just came up and Best buy emailed me saying hey, do you want to review this item...and why not, might as well tell potential buyers not to make the same mistake that I did. Maybe I'll write a better review once I get this thing working. Or maybe I'll leave this review here if it doesn't work. It's up to you, Best Buy.

    Needed an External HS for my Xbox. This model was on sale which made it a much better value than the XBox branded HD made by Seagate. Have had zero issues so far. Will probably get another one for my Son’s Xbox.

    Got a great deal on this 5TB external hard drive. It is lightweight and fits nicely in the pocket of my work bag. It doesn't take up to much room on the desk and has lots of storage.

    Bought it while it was on sale; $84.00. I couldn't beat the amount of storage I was getting for the price. Plus I like it because it is portable. I bought a storage case for it for $9.99

    Works great. So much faster than the drive I replaced and magnitudes more capacity. This thing is small, too. The price was good and setup was a breeze. No complaints.

    I bought this on sale, probably pre-clearance. I love the size and ease with which I was able to start using it with my PS4 Pro. Once plugged in, I was able to format it as extended memory and start moving apps to it.
