    I got the WD Easystore 5TB portable HD to backup my PC. As a screenwriter, I need to have access to all my work. A computer crash could wipe my hard drive. I plugged in the WD drive and it was immediately recognized. I set the automatic back for the time I wanted and the data I needed backed up. It works great. I also recently had to back up my entire PC because I was upgrading the memory and hard drive. The 5TB was more than enough space to accomplish this. And I was glad that I did because things didn't go well with copying to the new drive and the only way I got it to work was by doing a restore from the Easystore drive. It really saved me several more hours of frustration. I highly recommend this drive.

    I purchased the Easystore 5 TB External USB 3.0 portable hard drive to incorporate my older, smaller size drives into one storage unit. With the 5 TB this makes this possible. The files moved easily from the one unit to the next. I have purchased a number of Easystore external drives and have always been pleased with their performance. Purchasing it from Best Buy always make the shopping performance pleasant and dependable.
