    Amazed at the storage. I moved over 100,000 photos and documents to the Easystore 5TB and found that I had 4TB storage still unused!

    Needed a secondary hard drive to back up music in case the primary one took a bad turn and stop working. Western digital hard drives are pretty reliable and easy to use. Price was fair for its size this is my 2nd 5TB I’ve bought in the last year.

    Very reasonably priced and works perfect. Good memory to empty my lengthy videos and files to keep my computer running smoothly and on the same hand keeping a backup of all my computer just in case if something bad happens like my computer crashed after buying this just 3-4 days after. Thank god i had the backup (Time machine and memory) I totally recommend this product

    October 2021, I purchased this WD - Easystore 5TB External Hard Drive for storage when it was on sale from Best Buy. I ran H2testw, a system maintenance and stress testing application, on it. It took over two days, but now I know that EVERY byte on the drive functions correctly. = I liked it so well that I bought three more.

    The drive works well for the price. I don't use any of the included software -- just Windows Bitlocker. Drive stays relatively cool after extended use. I saw from my security camera that the delivery man chucked this drive in the package like a football from the sidewalk. Ran diagnostics and a full write cycle, and it seems fine. Thank goodness for the padded packaging.

    Purchased to connect to ps5 for extra game dl storage. Worked great for a while but then started having weird issues where ps5 eouldnt wake up or always said tlit was shut down incorrectly. I switched to a different one for the ps5 but this one is still working great for media storage on media server.

    Best drive I’ve ever purchased! Using as external Xbox storage and even with moving half my console’s game library to the drive I still have about 3T left to still fill with stuff. 10/10 would recommend. Price is 50/50 for being cheap vs expensive for some but if you find it on sale, GET IT!!!!

    Better value for a large portable drive, yet small enough to take with you. Having a protective carry case can prevent shock to unit is a plus. 5 TB for a 2.5 inch drive provides plenty of space.

    After some extensive research, I found this one to be the "one" that would work best for what I needed for. I was looking for a slim, easy to use external HDD and this definitely exceeded my expectations. With the usb cord, I plugged it into my laptop and began my back up and to my surprise over 10k pictures were backed up within no time. Best buy ever!!!

    Have used these external HDrives for years for duplicate storage, with pics & videos on them to clear my laptop storage and all are still working like new with absolutely no issues. Very happy

    Got this baby on sale and glad I did. My fiancé wanted one as well as she’s a photographer and we should have enough storage for years to come haha. Love the size and actual size of the drive is similar to 1-2 terabyte drives which is nice. It doesn’t need its own power or anytime. Highly recommend
