5 TB of storage, works to store PS4 games on my PS5. Easy to use and a good price.

Big store capacity, fast speed, easy carry and good price.

The WD easystore external USB hard drive is really small, it's easy to put it anywhere on my desk, even on the top of my computer. It's a perfect amount for storing all of my digital photos and scrapbooking elements. It is a bit slower to retrieve or store than what's in my computer, obviously, but it is a backup for me, and a great price.

It's amazing to see storage commoditized like this -- what would have been ridiculously expensive a few years ago, or just a dream a few years before that, is now the norm. Here WD delivers the standard for home storage. If you need to quickly and easily back up 50 4K movies, all your pictures and documents, or whatever, this is the way to go. Simple, fast, reliable, and affordable.

Great little external harddrive. Works as designed. Stores plenty of things without much concern. Con: 1. This is no SSD. Speed is a factor, however, the price for the device is 1tb vs 5tb in price difference. 2. Moving parts, so concerns of bumping or dropping from accidents. Which will cause data lost. 3. Seems to take a 10 sec boot up and constantly goes to sleep if not used when connected.

This 5tb WD Easystore external hard drive was great value based on price and company reputation. Im also a fan of Seagate hard drives but the metal on Seagate's gets very cold and I ignotlrantly question longterm external hard drive health bc of that. My PC once stopped recognizing a WD hard drive but when after copying to another WD. I always recommend backing inportant data with 2 external hard drives but have had good results with WD and Seagate. Store pickup was smooth. Thanks

Compact, light and easy to set up. Works great for extra storage.

It has work very well for my needs. I’m a dj and needed tons of space to save my music videos for when I do video djing. I have saved my entire library and have room for more. It works very well with my MacBook Air as long as I pre scan the files. The occasional non pre scanned slows my preview screen but doesn’t stop the software from working.

I have moved video, audio and other large files off my computer so I can optimize the performance of my computer. Of course, I still have access to all my data. This portable hard drive is easy to use as it connects directly into one of my computer's USB ports. I prefer this direct connection rather than using a blue tooth external hard drive because of security issues.

Works as intended. Good product especially for the price. Only downside is how quickly they can corrupt. Ive bought 3 seperate hard drives at this point and have had some issues with 2. One completely stopped working, the other has deleted some files, but this one works perfectly.

Really cool HDD easy to carry with plenty of storage at a reasonable price.

Easy to use. Simple set up and bought at a great price. Plenty of storage for all m my photos.

Great product at a fair price, easy to use, more space than I will likely use but nice to have

Plug and store files, music, and photo's all in one place. I sub divide WD 5TB in to third just in case of corruption. 1/3 for music a 1/3 for back up files and 1/3 for photo's. I watched a YouTube video and follow the set in the video and name the drive according to what I wanted to back up. It's not a personal cloud but it's small and travels well.

Love the ssd very portable handy good size capacity to back up document, pictures files or back up the whole computer. I use it for backing up storage for my multiple computers it’s plug and play faster than usb2 was going to by the ssd with usbc but way to expensive this was a better option. Has backup software for automatic backups every night very quite and handy.

Pretty easy setup. Simple plug and play allows the user to expand storage without sacrificing speed. The small form factor fits just about anywhere and is only limited only by the length of the cord that attaches from the external hard drive to your CPU or gaming system. I have purchased half a dozen WD external hard drives in the past 10 years and all of them still performing flawlessly without failure.

Big storge capacity!! Slim Nd sleek! Very easy to use. Can lease hooked up to my desktop.

Bought this so I don’t have to keep deleting games and re downloading them on my PS4. Now I have all my games including Call of Duty on it. You will have to reformat it when connecting to the PlayStation and I wouldn’t use it on a computer since you might have to reformat it again which essentially will deleting all of its data. All in all just use it for your PlayStation and buy another one for your computer.

I purchased this item to transfer documents and files from an old computer to the new one and to serve as backup afterwards. It worked perfectly and was easy to set up.

Great backup drive. Lots of storage. Works as advertised. Worth the money.
