Compact, efficient and mobile storage device that is one of the best on the market. Couldn't be happier with it. I've bought this particular model multiple times over the past few years and have never ever had a problem with it. Ease of use is one of it's strongest features. It's a great bargain especially when on sale.

Nice size for the amount of storage. It's just a little bit larger than a pack of playing cards. Data transfer appears to be fast. However I have not measured the speed. Appears to be built very solid. I have used it to copy files from my desktop, laptop and USB drives without any problems. Great price for a 5T portable drive.

Fairly fast, huge storage for size, great price. It's not the best option for external storage, but if you move it between devices frequently, it's a nice feature to not need an external power adapter. I wish the external casing wasn't so bulbous and ubiquitous though. I have trouble telling if I'm holding it upside down or right side up since they feel the same. I wish it was flatter on the bottom so I wouldn't have to flip it around half the time when plugging it in.

Hard to believe how small drives are getting these days. This one is no exception and it's quick and easy to use. Always been happy with WD drives and haven't had anything but good experiences with them.

One of many reliable Western Digital drives I've owned that have yet to fail. (Unlike the "SG" brand.). Also unlike SG external portable drives, this WD drive has tiny rubber feet to isolate it from the surface it sits on: this only prolongs life and helps keep it running at a near-silent sound. At $20/GB, this is a great value.

Lovet his external hard drive to help with the memory added to my laptop. It can go with me at home or at our office. Makes it nice to use both places .

Over the course of time, I got 5 of these so each of my 3 kids has one for their personal use (school work, games, pictures etc.). The fact that it has tons of memory and the size is convenient! They can easily unload information from their IPad, computer, to this unit to free up space on their other equipment.

The portable hard Drive is just the right size for on the go, and yet the perfect storage size for videos and all my photos. I definitely recommend this 5TB External hard drive.

Love it. My laptop was on it's last leg and I needed to transfer everything to my new computer. A+. It's quick and compact. 5TB is a ton of space too and might be overkill for my needs, but at least I won't have to buy a new hard drive for a while.

This hard drive was a steal for the price. My husband had been wanting a hard drive to store a lot of his stuff on as his old one was getting full. I had purchased the 2TB of this same brand and really liked it so I bought him this 5TB for Christmas. He was absolutely thrilled with it. Great little hard drive.

This 5TB external hard drive is beast mode! I have so much memory in space I don't know what to do with it plug it into my PS5 now I have download all my ps4 games. Have like 28 games on it and still have well over 4 terabytes of space left over. Easy to use all I had to do is plug it in and that was it.

Needed more storage on my ps5, it works and the price was great. It is basically plug in play in my situation. Cant speak on using it in other applications other than gaming. Works great

The Easystore line is pretty reliable. No problem with any of the Easystore drives I own. I use this one for a couple different iTunes libraries and I have no problems accessing and playing digital media. I have a couple I use for back up. These are really decent drives and I wouldn’t hesitate buying another one.

For some reason this drive came with old outdated software and drivers that doesn't even belong to it. But other than that I can't believe how well it performs and it's huge for less $ than a 1TB. Going to buy another one

This portable hard drive is very light weight and easy to handle. It is simple to install and use. I had plenty of room to do an initial backup of my C drive and my Data drive and lots of room for future backups. I am extremely pleased with the purchase and would highly recommend it.
