I highly recommend this portable recorder. I have it hooked up to all my tables. It gives me that extra space that I can record my TV shows. I have never had a problem with watching them or recording them.

My 6 year old WD MyBook was starting to act up and I wanted to replace it before it had an issue. I called WD. Their tech support is very helpful. We decided my best be for replacing it was the 5TB EasyStore. Set up was easy with WD Tech support help. It is literally the size of a men's wallet.

This backup drive is pretty quick with files. Love the size, compact. Placed a sticky note pad next to it to give a size comparison. Wish the usb cord it came with was abit longer, but, other than that. Love it!

Bought a second one of these drives. They pretty much nailed it. Using on a mac for large storage needs that an SSD would simply be too either expensive or unavailable. Setup was nearly instant and no issues with either drive. Thx Best Buy!

Easy peasy, straight out of the box, no formatting needed. Arrived on time, in perfect condition, and with the necessary cable to immediately begin file transfers.

Great device so far. Connected to daughters PS5 off recommendation from friend that used the same HD for his PS5 with no issues. Great for storing and playing ps4 games on PS5. Formats quick, runs quick. Only thing i dont like, but its not a big deal, is power light is small and on the back so its hard to see when i want to check to see if its powered on.

I am very happy with this purchase.
- Easily Youtube'd installation.
- Quiet operation
- HDD is fast enough to where I don't notice a speed difference when compared to the internal HDD.
- No additional power needed. External HDD is USB powered.
- HDD holds all of my games. (I have roughly 50, maybe more.)

Bought this since my internal hard drive on my PS4 was full. Saw a good price on this drive so I thought I’d give it a try. If it didn’t work for the PS4 then I’d have a large external hard drive for me to use for my computer. This one ended up working flawlessly. Doesn’t detect at first when plugged in until you format it using the PS4. Setup as the primary install drive and all works great. Speed wise i don’t see a slow down compared to the internal drive. Actually see this slightly faster. Great thing is I no longer have to delete games in order to install something new. Now I’m able to keep everything installed without aging to delete to make room. The official HDD from Seagate costs more for being official. The WD easy store was a steal and worked fine on my PS4
I would recommend this to a friend

Small in size but mighty in storage capacity. I have a ton of videos and music and this external hard drive is a life saver. No noise and very fast when I want to open the files. I have had good experience with WD. My previous one is only 2TB but has lasted over 6yrs now so it is a dependable brand.

WD has done it again. I needed an external storage for my movies and important documents but I dont want to pay an arm and a leg. BB had a pretty good deal with externa drives and this drive called out my name. Transferred all my files and now, I'm all good. I don't even think I can fill this storage at all. We'll see.
