    So far so good. Lets face it. The measure of these things is how long they last. We will see. The small size is nice. Only one cord for data and power is nice. Speed is sufficient.

    Actual storage size is greater than 4TB but a few GB less than 5TB. The footprint of the drive fits comfortably fon my desk and the drive speed is faster than I had expected since it is a mechanical drive, not a SSD. I would make sure at least a USB 3.X port is available on you computer since USB 2.0 would be significantly slower.

    I couldn’t get a PS5. I got this instead and a bunch of PS4 games. I installed 20 games and still have a lots of room left. This is a steal in Black Friday sales. It has fast loading time.

    Using this as my external in my new laptop with SSD. Went with the 5TB, not so much because I need that much space, but because the price was right!! This worked perfectly from the start.

    Good price for external HDD - I suppose my hope is that spinning/platter drives are becoming more a thing of the past, but it's nice to see them AT LEAST come down in price. It was good for some movie project storage. I only buy these when they're on a good sale.

    Better than expected. Fast speed and power and data all in one cord. The only downside is the cord is a bit short and it gets pretty hot if you use it as a plex server.

    I have had other external hard drives that were not really easy to access the hard drive to upload the files I wanted. This one is much easier. Good choice.

    I love these 5TB External drives. When on sale you can't beat the deal. So far I have 5 of them and they have proven to be reliable. The oldest one is about 2 years old.
