    I had purchased this on Black Friday weekend for $89.99. I got this for my XBOX One to add games since my other hard drive was only 1TB. So this 5TB gives me plenty of room to store even more games can't wait to see how much I'll be able store. It was easy to format just put in your system & it will format it's just that easy. It was cheaper getting this one VS. the official ones for the system.

    I will not buy any external drive other than WD. I have been buying this brand for years and never had a failure. Software companies swear by WD. Other brands have failed. This drive is quite, portable and a quality product.

    A great, portable, durable storage device. I have 2 of these and my first one is still running great, prompting me to purchase another one. it's pretty rugged and has withstood all the bumping and motion from being in my backpack during my travels. Has yet to malfunction or not run when plugged in.

    WD Easystore 5TB is great for saving data for your computer. We use it for backup of all data and photos. We have a separate folder for photos and music. All the WD are easy to use and just plug into your computer and it will recognize your new drive. It's small size makes it great to transport and share your photos and music on the go! 5TB is a lot of space!!!!

    Find a reliable storage solution for large files with this WD easystore external desktop hard drive. The USB 3.0 interface and backward-compatibility with USB 2.0 offer broad connectivity, while the automatic backup solution reduces the risk of data loss. This WD easystore external desktop hard drive features a 8TB capacity to provide ample space for videos and photos.

    Great product! I bought this for my son's Xbox and we transferred all the internal drive data to this external. It was smooth and quick. I've had more than two dozen WD Hard drives (int. & ext.) over the years, and knock wood, NOT one has ever failed me and crashed! I've had three drive from a company that ends in -gate, that have crashed and lost all data. I'm all in with Western Digital !!!

    I bought this for my Xbox One X. I found out really fast that the 1TB built in hard drive way definitely not big enough. I bought this hard drive due to the reasonable price along with the other good reviews that I found about it. I went on YouTube on my phone to find out how to install it on my Xbox and it was very quick and easy. Works great and now I have plenty of room. Highly recommend.

    I've gotten quite a few of the 4TB versions of this, so decided to get this for my wife to store all her pictures/videos on. I've always had good luck with these WD drives. They are perfectly sized and portable. I don't particularly care for the type of cable required for use on these as some of the ports don't seem to allow the cable to connect nice and smoothly. The one I happened to get is fine. That's not really a fault of WD drives though as it's a standard. I can't really find a negative for this little drive. They are great to have handy for quick backups or file transfers between computers or gaming consoles.
