    I've been using WD drives for quite a while now, and I am really happy with the reliability, dependability, and build quality. I needed a large capacity drive for my backups, and this was on sale at BestBuy when I bought it; PERFECT !

    I hope it lasts because this is a lot of room on this beast. Of course years from now it will look small.

    I've had a couple of these for the past few years. haven't really had any issues. I should probably invest into a real NAS system but these work well for now

    I needed extra memory for my Playstation 4 and after doing some research i found this hard drive. It was also on sale so i got it for around 120 with the geek squad protection which was a good deal in my opinion.

    So far so good. Had a couple of HD’s die on me very quickly and lost stuff that I’ll never get back. Trying a different brand. Backs up every night and was easy to set up. All that I have backed up now has taken up 1 of the 5 TB.

    The 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive is very handy. It is also easy to use. Works well. Really don't know what else to say to reach 50 characters. Glad to get it on sale. Had it shipped to my home. Thank you for quick delivery.

    I use this to backup my Synology NAS. It's a really good device. I might use a bigger one eventually but this does work fine for what I use it for. It also holds files too, obviously. But I just use it for backup!

    LOTS of storage space, for a very low price. No issues noted. Only downside is that it uses the USB 3.0 mini plug, which is now an outdated connector, but I still have plenty of cords from back when I had cell phones with that plug.

    Hard drive works just as it should. I've always found Western Digital reliable for hard drives and this is no exception. Another quality drive without the need for an external power supply. It powers on through the USB. My only complaint is that the USB cable is very short and is the reason I am docking 1 star.
