    Got this for two reasons: price was great and it was a Best Buy exclusive. I haven't used it yet, but I have a similar sized WD Black Gaming drive and I think this will work just as good when I need it.

    I own sever 4tb and this one is no different. Dependable with tons of storage. Highly recommend hard case to keep it new. A small investment to protect HDD from the elements and possible damage

    This can be used on a PS5 to store PS4 games for easy play. There was an initial problem with it, that said that it wasn't compatible, but began working after disconnecting and restarting the PS5.

    I got this drive because it was on sale. It nice to have extra storage for my Mac back ups and also use it for other files and not keep them on my Macs hard drive.

    Works great, no issues. Only bad thing is not getting reward points for the purchase. Got tired of repeatedly asking thembto correct this.

    These drives are reliable and sturdy. I have several and keep coming back for more. And $90 for a 5TB drive is pretty reasonable IMO. Great speed, highly convenient and reliable make for a great drive.

    I actually ended up buying two of these, one for my Playstation 4 and one for my mom for my Mother's Day while they were on sale and both of them are the perfect expansion we were looking for.

    Great hard drive, love thats its plug and play so need for power cord like some older HDs. Probably bought too much space, but got a goo deal, so should not have to buy another in quite a while.

    Pretty good size for the money. Backup software that comes with it is weird & limited to 5 year life span. This may end up being a problem 5 years from now.

    I bought two of the five gig Back up and the cases on the special that was advertised. Was a very good bargain. I have not used them yet. I am always happy when I buy things at Best Buy.

    This external drive comes out of the box ready to go! It is literally a plug and play device. So use it to store your files, songs, videos or even to act as a back-up unit. The portability makes is versatile!
