    I mainly bought this for my PS5 for extra storage for my games. I wanted enough space to hold most of stuff and more games if I bought any. Definitely worth the price for it. I was able to download all my games and than some with the updates and still have like 4.5gb left.

    I did a lot of research to try to find the best external hard drive for the money, and I came across this one during a sale. I quickly grabbed this one, and I can say that it does what it’s supposed to do. I can’t complain at all. I’m using this for my Xbox One X.

    This hard drive is working fabulous for me. Every USB 3.0 device I tried on Ubuntu 18.04 MATE 64bit linux on my Acer Chromebook c720p and other laptops did not work at 3.0 speeds..infact slower than USB 2.0 So far I am loving it because I can FINALLY back up stuff for real.....quickly Too!

    The hard drive has plenty of storage. The only slight negative I would give would be the speed. My preference is the SSD, but this got the job done at a better price.

    Ordered the WD-Easystore 5TB external hard drive on line. Would be giving 5 stars but must deduct a star for having to return a defective unit. Chose to go to the physical store to return. The return/replacement process was easy as pie. New drive works perfectly. I have ordered several over the last few years. This is the only time I received defective merchandise.

    Just what I needed. A good amount of storage for a reasonable price, and it's USB powered so it doesn't take up valuable space in my power strip. Formatting for Mac was super easy, and I never have to worry about running out of space for backups.

    Thing is a beast! Works great for my Xbox one X. Might be too much storage... I’ve been getting cocky with my downloads. I keep laughing and call of duty’s 120gb updates. Plenty of room! Only thing with this drive... it’s a big boy. Like it is chunky. Don’t let it fall on your toes.

    For how inexpensive it was, I was pleasantly surprised by how fast it is. It's not near an ssd, but not too far behind some 'gaming' hdds I have. The physical build of it feels solid, as well. I would definitely recommend it.

    I bought this as a portable backup drive replacing an older WD drive that was starting to have issues. I've been using it for a couple months now and couldn't be happier. Size and build quality is great, speed is excellent, even for editing photos off of. Overall great little drive.

    Had purchased a different seagate brand previously from a different store. Had to return it. Connection was universally compatible or not easy to set up. Came back and purchased WD a trusted brand I have used for a long time now and this was easy plug and use.
