    Works Great For Backing Up Our Studio Data

    Power glitches from our local LA utility company meant our video/audio studio kept losing hard drives (and occasionally entire computers). While we have a vast collection of pro-grade external drives, these little 5TB WDs are inexpensive, work well, and are an excellent way to back up data when you're really in a bind.

    I purchased the Easystore device because my other WD device (Passport) was running out of space. I do vlogging and store my data on a physical storage device and the 5TB on this device was needed. My only issue is that it doesn't offer security / password protection like other WD storage devices. Even the WD website indicates this. I wish I had known this prior to buying it to replace my WD Passport portable HD, which has the PW protection. Sadly, I can't return this device because I already transferred everything from my WD Passport to the WD Easystore. I do not recommend this storage device because it does not have security protection. Think bout it. Would you buy a cell phone that doesn't have password / security protection features to prevent others from unauthorized intrusion / access to your cell phone? I hope WD updates their "WD Security" software to include Easystore devices.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
