    Bought for my son. He and his wife take a lot of pictures and video. This is an easy way to add storage that they can share between themselves and with the rest of the family. One cable power/connection. Small physical size makes it easy to take around. Works on any PC (read Apple too).

    Great capacity on the cheap! Quality drive with no need to spend more for a spinner drive. If you're using a Mac, be sure to reformat this thing as AFPS, there's no need to use the included software

    Plug and play at its best. Can't speak for the longevity but for ease of use, it gets 5 stars from me. USB 3.0 cable included makes transfers fast. Have an older 1TB WD drive and its still kicking after 5 years. This is my preferred brand. Purchased on sale for $99 which I think is a fair price. Not a great price, but fair. $85 would be a great price. Anyway, good value on this drive, does its job well and easy.

    Got a great deal on this hard drive. Bought it for extra storage on my PS5 and definitely got my money worth. Just wish I could play ps5 games off it because the system's internal storage is so tiny. Not all ps5 games need to fully utilize the ps5 hardware. Many Series X games work fine off of portable hard drives. But I digress. Long story short, got an excellent deal on alot of storage. Definitely reccomend.

    I purchased this portable drive to load Steam games on and port it between several laptop computers. SSD 's for internal use are off the chart as for as prices go. This 5TB is perfect for what I currently need. No issues with running games off the Dell G5, MSI GL65 Leopard, Acer Predator 300,and MSI GE72 Apache Pro laptops I own. I load the games from my Desktop computer to run on whatever laptop I'm using .

    Purchased a WD 5TB portable drive as a Best Buy Deal of the Day. Great price, great product, and easy set up. Rapid fulfillment of my order, shipped promptly to my home. A wonderful purchase experience and additional peace of mind with automated, daily incremental backups of a home desktop hard drive.
