    The Easystore 5TB Portable hard drive is easy to set-up because it's basically plug and play. Works fine on my laptop. Easy to store and take with me when I travel.

    I got this for my PS4 at first, and now I got it hooked up on my PS5! This is a necessity! Enjoy great games, and not having to worry about deleting others. This is a must have!

    It was on sale at BB, I needed as much space as possible for the right price, and a smaller fingerprint vs an external.

    Fast, efficient, and really takes up a small footprint on your desk. Highly recommend the WD-5tb external HDD. I have been using for about 2 months with no issues

    Easystore 5TB external USB 3.0 hard drive is fantastic. All my photo's are backed up. It is truly nice to have a 2nd place to go to get your photo's if your computer crashes.

    Working well, as Western Digital habitually does. I use it to back up my Blu-ray & other films. Although the file sizes run up to 20GB, this drive holds them easily. You can do the math.

    It works as advertised. Lots of space. Only need 1 USB cable without the need for an extra power cable which is very convenient. Great and quick free shipping from Best Buy!

    Not much to say about this other than it's pretty much plug and play. Bought it for a Macbook, had to format it for compatibility, and that was about it.

    Plugged in and used right away on a Windows 10 laptop, no configuring needed. 5TB for the price is great, I backed up my photos and put some games that don't require fast read/write times.

    This is a great offer from Best Buy. I needed a 1 TB hard drive but ended up buying 5TB because the price difference made sense to buy a 5TB vs 1TB. I don’t want to bore you with WD’s quality.
