    Very handy for backing up important files. Very easy to setup for automatic backups and portable. 5tb is more than enough space for the average user.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    worked well immediately. However, be warned- you need to check ok when asked if you will share info with the company. I made the mistake of passing on this and the install hung at 18 percent. I redownloaded the software from the site and started over, this time checking yes. Install was perfect.
