    Extra Storage for Steam Games, great plug and play, Rename the drive if you like, great to store extra files or in my case, games, since my laptop only came with a 512GB drive.

    A Great External Hard Drive

    Great product and price, but wait for the sales as regular price is high. WD makes a very stable and fast drive, and this powerful drive takes up only a small space. For an extremely fast drive, get a flash drive... but those have significantly less storage capacity and are a lot more expensive. Very pleased with this external hard drive!

    I this was an addition to other portable drives that I own. The 5 TB drive,at the price I paid, was a bargain. The drive has been in operation continuously since my purchase, without any problems. It's compact size makes it ideal for travel, and the interface allows me to transfer data quickly. I am very satisfied with this drive.

    I am absolutely obsessed with this pocket sized 5TB drive. It is incredibly fast and easy to use. There is only one issue - it comes formatted as NTFS - so you HAVE to reformat if you are going to use MAC. Normally drives are formatted FAT32 so PC or MAC can use them out of the box. Other than that - great drive at a great price.

    I had purchased the WD Easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive for my PS4 Pro because the previous external hard drive became defective. So far, it works with no issues and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend giving this external hard drive a try if you're looking for an external hard drive for your game console.

    It's exactly what I needed. I was running out of storage space from my other portable hard drive and needed to get another one. I also got this on sale for a good price. I had no issues using this external storage. It was easy to setup. Thankfully, I didn't run into any issues with this portable hard drive.

    I do not like to save my pictures and videos on iCloud or on my iPhone so instead I download them onto a smaller usage USB and then upload them onto the WD - Easystore 5TB External USB Hard Drive. It is easy to use and a good price for having so much storage.

    The WD - Easystore 5TB External USB drive was on sale recently as a Best Buy Deal of the Day. I needed the extra space for my backup and I could not turn down the excellent price. The USB 3.0 has great transfer speeds and for this price I was thrilled to purchase it. Thank you Best Buy for keeping the price so reasonable.

    I needed a portable hard drive in a pinch to repair a damaged cloud storage drive. Turns out I needed this more than just a pinch. The 5tb drive is quick and plenty of storage as a daily drive in my briefcase.

    I do at least 3 total system backups that I want to save. I backup once a month (all files, pictures, etc on my desktop) and follow this pattern every month. The oldest is deleted when I need to make a new backup. This drive is big enough and dependable to do what I want. I take it with me when I travel.

    Works well even in a Rapspberry PI, but requires a separate USB3.0 powered hub, separate power supply from PI. best way to create a NAS storage. the power down function works great and is not really noticable. Fair price to have redundand backup of data.
