    No SSD but you get the storage you need

    Though soli state drives are better overall the price to storage ratio is still a bit high. So with some sacrifices (speed for sure), this allows you to get that storage you need while still remaining somewhat portable. For the price it is hard to argue that it can get the job done, as long as you don't expect blazing transfer speeds.

    You can depend on this one. If you take good care of it, it will perform flawless for many years. I own it for personal and company use, nothing wrong with it, nice response time (for not being SSD) and the size helps when you need a critical backup of your data or for data transfer between offices (when I travel). Open, use it, it works!

    This has solved a problem of memory space. It was recommended by my brother and he was right about the quality. The biggest problem was lack of instructions. I was able to just copy a file, or a folder, and paste into the Easystore. Otherwise, this seems to be a great options to saving pictures, videos, and files.

    Great portable external hard drive

    This is s very solid external hard drive. It has plenty of storage space, but is small and portable. It's obviously not as fast as a SSD drive, but it should be fast enough for most users. It runs pretty quiet too. I haven't had this long so I can's speak to its durability, but it seems well built. This is a great buy especially when it's on sale.

    Awesome External for Xbox

    I bought this WD 5TB external as my last storage device for my Xbox One console. I was running out of space on my first external 4TB hard drive so this investment will help me finish out the life cycle of the Xbox One. Please note that this review is only for using the external on an Xbox One. All I had to do was unbox the external, plug it into my Xbox One's USB port, format the drive through the Xbox and I was good to go. All-in-all the process took no more than five minutes and I was able to start moving games and downloading updates to the new drive. It works like a charm and I do not notice any delay when playing games from the drive. For the price you really cannot go wrong either if you are like me and you want to keep all of your games downloaded and not delete them when you are done. 5 External Stars out of 5!

    My new WD - Easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black was so easy to install. I connected it, opened it up, and clicked on the install for PC - boom and done. The only drawback is that I wish it came with a case like my 1TB Toshiba. I carried the cord, my cell adapters, etc. in it and this was much more convenient.

    With terabytes worth of data on our 4TB drive, we needed something that could back up everything at one time. We have 1TB external drives also, but this one makes backup easy. It's quick, reliable (so far) and easy to transport. All for under $100. As long as you are diligent, it becomes your "cloud" for a much cheaper price.

    I caught this on sale during black Friday. I got it for my PS4 and it has not disappointed. First, you can't beat the price (under $100) or the performance. I backed up all of my entire catalog of games and I still have well over 4 gigs! Truly amazing!

    This WD hard drive is a great value. In a 2,5 external hdd holds 5 TB. It's is stick into a bag or a pocket and have to plug into any PC trough a single USB 3.0 cable. The read and write speed don't go above 90 Mb/s. For a hdd this is acceptable.

    Great performance so far. Is not crazy fast but it gets the job done. I needed the sufficient space to get my stuff out of the different clouds I had and paid, out of privacy concerns. So far it has been great and im thinking to boost my local networks resources, create backup of this and keep all my information private and out of the cloud.
