    Love this drive! Bought this one as a backup for first one purchased earlier this year. Leave it plugged into me TV to look at pictures, watch home movies, and movie collection. Interfaces beautifully with my 75 in Samsung TV. Live the rubber feet to keep it from sliding, very quiet. WD has good warranty.

    Great HDD and best value for my dollar, considering the promo price tag. At twenty bucks a TB, I am very satisfied. Pretty good transfer speeds and reads right off my television or Xbox Series X for quick video / audio file access. Better, faster HDD's out there, but for the value I couldn't find anything that beat this little guy!

    Excellent external drives for backup storage on PC or additional room for Console games on PS4 or Xbox One. I have purchased 3 of these drives so far over the course of 3 years and have not had a single issue. I realize that SSD is the future, but you can't beat the price of 5TB storage by choosing one of these drives, especially when they are on sale.

    This 5TB external hard drive for my Macbook Pro exceeds all my expectations (works out-of-the-box, no formatting problems, smooth operations and good price point). I tried Costco’s Seagate hard drive (tried and returned THREE times) and was sorely disappointed. I should’ve have stuck with Western Digital as the 1TB drive I have now hasn’t failed me in the five years I’ve had it.

    Tiny easystore drives are absolute workhorses. I've had one for over 5 years that has been full to capacity, and have even used one of these things on my media server to handout files. The reliability and durability of these things are astonishing, and the tiny compact form factor, and sleek look truly make it stand out as some of the best portable hard drives to exist.

    Item comes as advertised. It's an excellent device to have for long term storage of files that you don't necessarily need at a moment's notice. I am a photographer so an image that might seem important today could matter down the line. The unit is sturdy and works well with my MacBook Pro. I bought this on sale and I have to say that I am getting maximum bang for my buck...

    Got this about a month ago to replace an older and larger 4TB WD drive. So far so good. This is super small and no sound that I can hear. Transfer rates are ok, but I didn't buy it for speed, just need something reliable to store 2 different PCs backups. Being able to plug and play with no power cord is so nice.. this grabs the power off the USB port.

    Excellent External Drive

    I have been using this drive for several months for external storage since it offered a large amount of storage for an excellent price. You may see this priced similarly or less compared to the My Passport drives. If you don't plan on using the extra features with the My Passport drive, then you might as well save the extra dollar and get the Easystore.

    I'm not a tech wizard that can get into the nuts and bolts of the drive. I just know that it's small and light and powered by the USB port. Read/write speeds have seemed to be fine for me and I love having the extra storage space in order to back up by desktop, laptop, and all the miscellaneous USB sticks and SD cards I have laying around. So far, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

    Beginner photographer needed storage

    I’m a beginner photographer and needed a external drive to put all my files on. I have a few of these storage devices and this one is the smallest in physical size but huge in data size. Plus it has a nice little case to store it in. Works great and I’m loving it. May even buy a couple more of these and transfer all my data from my older bulky storages to these smaller ones.

    Very good product and reasonably price. At this time, I'm unable to tell you how quick the data transfer is since my system is still 2.0. I'm sure I'll be extremely satisfied once I upgrade my computer. Great for video and music files. Will continue to purchase this item should my need for additional storage is needed.
