    Works fine and the extra Tb over a four Tb version is an economical benefit. Western digital drives are reliable and this one is a very good value and definitely worth buying.

    I use the external hard drive to store media files as well as serve as a backup for my system. It works on both my Mac and pc system. It is convenient and small for me to take on travel.

    If you want a lot of storage (5 TB) in a small space and with a reasonable price, this is a great choice. I've used similar (2 and 4 TB) WD drives in the past for offline storage and have never experienced a failure, so I have high hopes for this one's longevity. It's not super fast (though it's plenty adequate). It also doesn't have hardware encryption which is fine by me. The primary value of a large capacity drive is bulk media/photo storage so encryption isn't needed and could hamper data recovery if there ever were a problem.

    Love it! It does the trick and has held up fine and I still have plenty of space to load more. I Don't like how it doesn't have an eject mode/ feature because im worried about the files getting messed up but other than that I love this thing Life saver. Fairly priced as well

    I got one of these when Best Buy dropped the price to $89. At that rate, it was a steal. It's a quick and small portable drive that moves quickly and stores a lot.

    5TB is a lot of storage. Does the job for quick backups. Nice portable drive does not need an extra power adapter. It's a physical disc drive inside, so do not expect fast speeds.

    Since I am an avid gamer I needed more storage (so as not to slow my system) because most games now are starting to push 100gb and you only have a 500gb or 1tb console. Well needless to say when I saw the deal on this 5tb external drive I had to jump on it. I was expecting something huge but to my surprise its about the size of a wallet and light. It came with the correct cable and was very easy to use, just plug and play. I've only had this since black friday but so far so good.
