    I bought it around black friday it is under $100 which is a great value. I received the drive and started downloading material in it right the way. It works great so far with speedy download but for some reason, it would give out a small low clicking sound once a while. It doesn't bother me much. My only complaint is the USB cable that comes with the drive is a bit too short.

    I have a lot of pictures, videos, and work files on my computer. These drives save my life...by allowing me to offload files that I don't need everyday but still need. Also allows me a second backup in addition to my cloud backup!

    Second one I buy , for my gaming consoles. First one was 4TB for my PS4 and it works great I’m able to save my games data on them without taking system storage space. This 5TB is for my ps5 that scalpers won’t let me buy yet.;P

    I like this. I use it for my photos and family tree/family history files. It's freed up space on my desktop and I feel confident that it will be able to hold ever more as my family tree information grows.

    Ran out of room on my hard drive, this 3 TB drive is perfect for storing movies videos, anything really. I also have another I use for backing up my hard drive. I’ve had this for months, no issues

    All my portable HDs have been WD and I have loved the HDs. I was so happy to find a 5 TB HD for $100!! What a deal. That's much less than the WD 2 TB HD i paid for a couple years ago. I am happy with all my WD HDs. They are good!!!

    I have bought a number of these WD easy store drives, they are great as off-site back ups. They do get warm when transferring a TB at a time but do not appear to slow down.

    I have 15 external hard drives as hard to believe as that sounds. I started off with another brand but after an issue, I switched to WD hard drives with #7 and have never regretted that decision. They're great!

    So far so good for this hard drive. I spent about a week figuring out which model I wanted and so far all transfers were faster than expected. The drive works better than others I’ve had.

    I purchased this for the PS5 console. What the buyer must know is that this work for the storage of PS4 games on the PS5 console only. Additionally, it must be connected via one of the two USB ports on the rear of the console.
