    I use this mostly for backup and save some pictures. It loads up pretty fast and very easy to use. Comparative to others this one's price is better.

    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.

    Exceeded the space on my old backup and with a second laptop to backup this was a no brainer. No frills, great price from Best Buy and ready to go out of the box.

    Couldn’t beat the price totally worth it, I was able to back up photos videos instead of keeping it on my phone and taking up memory would definitely recommend!

    I recommend getting more added space to your gaming system. Especially if you have more then 4-5 games. It’s easy to use and very simple. Plug and play

    This item is very light and portable - I was surprised how small and light it was for a 5TB external hard drive. Transfer speed was good - I don’t remember experiencing any long and delayed transfers. The inbuilt Discovery software did not install on my computer with Windows 10, but that installation was not necessary for just transferring files to it properly. When I accessed the drive from my computer the very first time, the space available was about 4.5 TB, but I am not sure if the inbuilt Discovery software was taking up 0.5 Terabytes!
