    I love these portable drives. I hooked it up to my XBOX Series X for additional storage. Its great for older games, new games need the internal storage. But you can move the new games to this drive so your not fully downloading again if you want to put a game on hold. Otherwise I recommend these drives to anyone looking for a backup solution. Great for college kids. Or creating a backup image of a computer. Plenty of storage for most users who are worried about a system crash. I have 3 Western digital drives and none have given me issues over the years.

    Works well for the price. Able to format in ExFAT in order to use on my Mac and PC. Had to do in Disk utility on PC in order to be recognized on Mac though.

    This is a quality device; well built. It works perfectly. NOTE: Win10 and previous versions do not handle drives this large very well. Your PC will seem to freeze from time to time while the drive is indexing. Because of this I only use this drive for backing up my work. There may be a way to make Win10 behave better with a large drive but, I haven't found it yet.

    Dependable Drive for my 4K Video Files/Editing!

    So far I have had no issues with my 5TB Easystore HD! I have purchased two of these (one as a backup that I don't use and just store away) and have not run into any problems whatsoever. I can depend on these when I am transferring my 4K footage from a film shoot and when I am backing up important editing files. I have also gotten it on a sale as well, and I've seen it on sale often, so if it's full price you might want to hold off just to get more bang for your buck.
