    I love that it’s small, compact and has a ton of space on it to store videos and photos. I keep all my business files on this on drive and separate from personal files.

    A nice upgrade to my 2TB one. It's plug and play storage, no need to install drivers or software. Perfect external storage for my tablet which only has 500GB SSD.

    The drive is not much bigger than other drives we have had in the past, but it was a great value for 5 Tb. It was very easy to set up and start backing up information.

    I got my WD 5TB at $89.99. Wait for them to go on sale if you can wait. I've been using WD eternal HDD for a while. They are reliable, easy to use, supports multiple OS platforms and no need for extra power source, just plug n' play.
