    Prices on external storage have come down A LOT recently and this is an awesome unit at a great price. I use it to store photos and videos, as well as back-ups of my laptop data.

    I was able to find for half the price it normally is and I couldn’t turn down not buying it. It works good and is a good backup and storage space for everything I need to save.

    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.

    Boy, what can I say about the easystore hard drives other than they are excellent! I've used multiple companies for hard drive storage; Toshiba, Seagate and Western Digital to name a few, and I've never dealt with such a reliable product. These drives come in a multitude of sizes and work excellently either with my P.C. or my many video game consoles. I currently have them on my Xbox Series S and X and my PS4 Pro console to hold the massive game libraries(especially Game Pass on Xbox). I have never been let down by these hard drives and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for safe storage.

    This comes with software you can install to manage your device and storage. The price for the storage size is great and it's easy to carry around. Not like some other bulky options.

    Not a whole lot to say really. Its an external harddrive with 5TB of storage which is great for anyone working with photo or video content as you konw that footage will eat up storage space and fast! The one thing I found a little bit frustrating was when I plugged it in for the first time it wanted to install a WD software to mess with the harddrive. My experience may be skewed, but I couldn't write to the drive until I reformatted it which wasn't super simple to figure out using my Macbook. However once reformatted the drive works just like normal and expected. So my one complaint was that I couldn't just plug it in and go, I had to jump through a few hoops first. Otherwise it's been great so far!

    Great size for the value, and very easy to use. Initially got this as a PS4 extra storage, and worked great there. Now using it with PS5, and required no additional formatting. Perfect for me.

    Purchased this product to replace a 2TB drive I was running out of space with. Plugged the unit into my USB 3.0 expansion and it came up immediately. So simple to use and a good value, as well.

    This is the perfect physical size and does not require a separate power cord. I use it to back up my important data from my NAS once a week. (3-2-1 rule!) 5TB is enough to last me for a few years.
