    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.

    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 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.

    This big boy has lots of memory to add anywhere you need it. I've plugged it into my WD MyCloud unit to more than double it's memory capacity. Easy to use and a great value to boost my storage needs.

    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.

    works as expected, got it on sale to store my A/V collection and have it hooked up to a Plex server. No complaints so far. Got it on sale from BestBuy as deal of the day, so good value.

    I recently got the WD external hard drive, and it's been a fantastic addition to my tech setup. The compact design is sleek and portable, making it easy to carry my files on the go. The high-speed data transfer is a game-changer for efficiency, and the security features give me peace of mind. Overall, a reliable and top-notch external hard drive that I highly recommend!

    I used this for my xbox because we now have so many games downloaded and I didn't want to keep re-downloading other games because we ran out of hard drive. Fast transfers and easy install.

    Straight forward plug-and-play installation on my MacBook Air 15 docking bar. Currently using it for Apple TimeMachineBackup. The first backup took a while, but now everything is working great.

    Great Value! 5 terabytes is more than enough space for storing all your digital photos. Bang for the buck — I believe this is the best external drive out there. I like the very compact size.

    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.

    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.
