    This hard drive provides large space but not quite as fast as I hoped. I have Seagate 4tb hard drive as well so in comparison this one is little slower and does not get recognized by computer automatically every so often. No big issues, no problems to use but those are the differences I experienced so far. Satisfied overall.

    Easily store your memories on a piece of technology. 5 TB is perfect for me. Previously I used an online cloud storage service but the 1 TB for the low plan would fill up too fast. This worked great for my needs.

    Easy to use. Of course, with these things, time is the consideration. I don't wanna put my data on someone's 'cloud'. I have it here. I plug it in, put in the data and done.

    Just bought a new Dell 512 SSHD Dell computer and have a lots of photos on my old computer. Needed more memory so downloaded my old computer important data and my pictures from the old computer to the new drive. Now new computer will also back up to this drive giving me more storage. I feel that I will have a faster computer with more storage with the new external hard drive.

    This WD 5 GB external hard drive is small, 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 x 1/2 inch is easy to use and has enough storage to handle any lap top or desk top. You couldn't ask for more

    It does exactly what you expect. 5tb external HDD. Quick speeds, no issues after 3.5 months of use as a weekly back-up drive for my stream VoDs.

    Arrived within a day of ordering. This is quite small compared to my other external hard drives but stores just as much. I haven't used it a lot yet, but do not expect any issues as WD has always done well for me.

    This external drive has been great so far. A lot of storage for a great price while also being nice and portable. Quick transfer times, even on older computers running usb 2.0 ports. I do wish it came formatted to work on both Windows and Mac, but it was easy enough to reformat as needed.

    I have several external hard drives from WD. They are all trouble-free and work as expected. This one is no exception. This one was a gift but in the same household so I know it is doing its job. I would buy it again if I needed another one.

    I use these drives for backups. The performance has been great. I am replacing 3.5 WD 3 TB drives with these easystores. WD has been a solid product for me. The easystore drives are fast and reliable. Highly recommended.

    Bought this to be a secondary drive for my PC and it does work for that but it's got some flaws. As for it's actual purpose I'm sure it does great but I am just not using it correctly. I can play games off of it but should of went with a dedicated HDD, would of been cheaper.

    Five TB at this price is a no brainer. A great drive at a great price. The only thing that would make this drive better is if it was an SSD, but then it would not have been for sale the $99.00 that I was able to pick it up for.
