    Great price for a 5TB storage device, I bought it as a deal of the day almost 50% off. It was very easy to set up and use, very fast downloaded all my files onto the device during the first backup.

    A lot of storage for such a small hard drive, especially at this great price. It's about the size of a fist, so it doesn't take up a lot of space. Works great! Hopefully it will last a long time.

    It is a reliable disk, I currently use it on mac to make backups and it works at a good speed, 5TB is a lot of space and the best thing is that it does not take up space in your backpack

    I have never had a problem with WD. They are rock solid. I use this to store downloaded movies on, so I can watch whatever I want at the push of a button. I can also take my movies wherever I go.

    Went to buy a 2TB external hard drive and with the help of Best Buy agent actually found the same brand 5TB for little more money. I thought it was a great buy.

    It's been a solid small drive to store my video files. It's a bit on the slow side, So I try to transfer what I'm working on to SSD drive then back again when done. A bit time consuming, but video is such a data hog.

    Works like it should. Good purchase. 5 TB is more than enough space to hold my stuff (pictures & documents). Western Digital drives have been good to me in the past and hopefully for the future.

    I needed to replace a 10 year old 5 T portable hard drive before it failed. I purchased this new, more compact, faster portable hard drive for back-ups. It performs flawlessly. It is for a Wibdows 10 system.

    I have bought 3 or 4 of these throughout the years. Easy, simple hard drives with good performance and a great price/size ratio. When on sale for $90 or less, an easy pickup.
