    Compact, loaded with storage space , easy to use, and priced reasonably. This external hard drive is great for freeing up my computer from large files that can slow it down.

    I was and am still a little nervous about this hard drive being powered by usb instead of by ac ( as all my other external hard drives have been ) but all seems to be ok so far. I was surprised by how overall small it is. It is less than half the size of my other WD external hard drive. It does get pretty warm when is working/writing/reading but I assume this is normal since it doesn't have any kind of cooling features. My other WD external hard drive doesn't get warm at all but it is enclosed in the case it came in. The only complaint I have so far is the VERY short usb cord it comes with.

    I have been a user and fan of Western Digital USB drives for a number of years. I've used the 4 TB model of this compact drive for a number of years and so, when faced with the uncertainties of Microsoft's OneDrive, I needed more file space that I controlled totally. This new 5TB model fit the bill and my budget. Very reasonably priced at Best Buy!

    Works perfectly used it to download more games on Xbox. I have access to 150 games installed and still have over 500GB of space left to install my next 4 pre-order before I'll even have to think about deleting anything for space. NOTE: I did bring HDD with me on a 5hr road trip, device was a bit warm in my briefcase on the passenger floor. Due to the increased heat device stopped working for 3 days, was going to use the warranty I purchased to replace it but it been fine every since and that was 4 months ago just FYI be cautious about where you leave it and get geek squad protection just in case...you never know.

    I love the ease of portability and amount storage I am afforded with this portable hard drive. It is louder and constantly runs once plugged in, however it seems to work well. Hopefully, the life span of this drive will be good.

    I have been using Western Digital external drives for years and have never had one fail on me. Not so for other brands. The drive is very portable and easy to store when not in use. I have several to back up all my important files and photos. If you are looking for extra storage for your computer you can't go wrong with this drive.
