    5TB for $100 was a great deal! I bought this to store all my 4k videos from my GoPro. Installation and formatting on my iMac took minutes and the small size meant that I could easily keep it out of sight and take it with me any time I needed to.

    Compact size, lots of memory storage, powered by usb wire itself, and no additional adapter needed. This is a plug-in and play unit. I like it more, especially when it was on sale.

    I had bought two 1 TB two years ago and realized i needed more space. These came up during the holiday and i figured they would be perfect replacement with the size. Love it! No issues or regrets with the purchase.

    This external hard drive is very easy to use. It holds more than I could ever need it to, and I love that. It’s very compact and light, which is nice. This is my second one purchased, as I gave one as a gift. I would recommend this product to anyone!

    I bought WD because they have a good reputation for reliability and my last WD Black HDD has been working well for a year. The Easystore has rubber on the bottom that stops it from making any noise or moving around on your desk once the drive gets up to speed. The true size of the drive is 4.5 TB, and if you keep the packaging, you'll have a molded plastic case to keep it in on your way to work.

    The tech guy recommended this for my PS4. Very easy to setup. Plenty of space for everything my kids download! And you can't beat the price. If you need more storage and don't want to spend a small fortune, you can't go wrong.

    Large 5TB External hard drive with USB 3.0 Works well for what I needed to do. Had to consolidate files from a bunch of smaller drives. External and internal, did exactly what it’s supposed to do. Also price was right for under 100.00. Just hoping it’ll last and not breakdown on me. Best bang for buck if you get on sale. Rating quality high for now, as long as it holds up.

    5TB for under $100 bucks, sold! This this is compact and very reliable. I use it for USB extended storage on PS4. Games are loaded onto this drive and performance is great. It's nice being able to store all my PS Plus games on here.

    A Basic Drive... That's a Good Thing

    This is a basic drive -- nothing glitzy and nothing speedy -- but is perfect if you are like me and just want a large drive for saving video and data backups. I liked it enough I bought a second one after I got this one. I appreciate that it is bus powered, which means your computer will give it all the power it needs. Its compact size is perfect so that I can carry it with me to transport large video editing projects between my home and office; its mammoth capacity means I can use it for video storage _and_ also Time Machine backups on my Mac (I reformatted it to APFS). I just recommended this drive to a friend who asked for my opinion on a good drive and then thought I'd take my recommendation and share it here, too.

    This is perfect for backing up your Laptop, PC, or photos when you run out of storage on the cloud. It is portable, works great, has decent speeds, and very reliable. WD is the king of hard drives!

    Storage for Photos

    This is about my 5th or 6th WD portable hard drive that I have purchased from Best Buy. I use them to back up my photos to them. I have had a few laptops in the past that crashed and I have lost my pictures, so now I make sure to back up my computer and phone pictures to an external hard drive ( I actually save them to multiple hard drives in case one of them fails!). These hard drives give me piece of mind that I am not going to lose all of my precious memories!
