    With a growing media library this was the perfect external HDD to buy. Would recommend getting a pic express USB c card and cables to max out transfer speeds.

    I ordered this external hard drive to replace an very old one which was becoming unstable (USB connection). Wow, I love this small form factor and it worked flawlessly right out of the box with my PC. You may have to reformat if you have a MAC.

    Use this to put games I quit playing PS5 on it. Very easy to transfer over just make sure to use only one external drive because you can't use two on a PS5 system.

    I've purchased Western Digital external drives before. I have confident behind this purchase and the self-powered USB 3.0 drive works very well. Reliability and longevity have been the two reasons for purchase and the price at time of purchase was great.

    Picked this up as extra storage for my son’s digital media class. He knows tech much better than I since it’s his major. His words were….. “I couldn’t have made due without this item”

    Excellent storage drive. Used the brand for more than 10 years now. Install, start up and use always easy. Storage volume is the largest I’ve seen to date. Purchased while on sale which make it my best purchase in years.

    The 5TB external easystore is being used as an additional backup for my dissertation work. You can't have enough external copies of daily graduate work in this day of cyberpiracy. I have several Western Digital products and they have not failed me over the years.

    I was in the store (Best Buy) Christmas shopping and saw this and new it was a good buy. I purchased it and my daughter connected it to her PlayStation 4 and she has a lot of memory for gameplay. This was well received. It was easy to connect and easy to use.

    I bought 4 of these--2 for my surface pro backup needs and 2 for my husband's mac backup needs. Easy interface for both operating systems. Small, fast startup. Easy to use. Bought a double case for the 2 on amazon and fits beautifully. Bestbuy had the best price.
