    I backup all my doc's on the drive. One time some support for a new laptop for set up and they were very good.

    Tons of storage at a great price. No issues with initial setup and all my files transferred no problem (2TB worth). Speeds are what you would expect from a traditional external HDD (roughly 120 MBs read / 113 MBs write).

    you can always trust Western Digital. This is my 3rd external hard drive from WD and all are still working strong. I think my very first one is more that 15 years ago already

    Bought this 2 years ago and it is still going strong. I'm using it to back up files and have had no problems at all. Got it on sale at a low price and it was well worth it.

    Best deal for the price I paid. Got it for $89.99 on the Black Friday weekend. 5TB is more than enough to back up by 2 laptops and contents from my old portable hard drive. Much faster than the old one, and quiet too.

    This drive works and does the job of holding all my files. Haven't had any problems whatsoever. Combine it with a NVIDIA Shield and you can watch all your files saved to this device no problem.

    Excellent amount of storage space to hold everything I needed to have backed up and taken off my computer. Now I won’t ever lose any more documents, pictures, videos or secured memories.

    This is my backup storage for my PS5. Just in case I need to download another game that my internal storage might not have space for. It works exactly how it was intended to.
