    The WD cloude support has ended, so Online back up services is not longer available, so the software included is totally worthless, despite that the devices works perfectly fine and worths the value paid.

    Excellent Drive that holds a lot but has a small profile. This is my second drive I’ve purchased at BB. Got both on sale for $99 and $85 respectively. Excellent deals for an excellent drive.

    I have 5 of these drives, 3-4Tb and 2-5Tb. I use them for backups and for laptop to my primary machine. They are so easy, efficient and portable. I have not had the first issue with any of them (knock on wood!)

    Very affordable storage that is easy to set up and use. Great to have so much extra space to declutter internal storage as well as archive important files.

    The external hard drive, after incentives, was a great value for a compact but large capacity product, and I have had no disruptions while using it--a significant upgrade from my prior external hard drive.

    Replaced another external drive that was dropped and went into eternal tick..I like these for price and storage, but in the future I would recommend solid state at an additional cost

    If you are in need of space this 5tb has plenty of it. I bought for my ps4 games. Pretty small fits in pocket. I use on my PlayStation4’s and I recently found out I can use on my ps5(ps4 games only)

    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!

    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.
