Easy to format on my M1 iMac, very useful as I own 3 hard drives from WD that I use mainly to store my edited videos and photos. Very useful for backing up Macs too!

Very simple and easy to use with my Mac. I realized that I could get a better price at Costco on a very similar one after I purchased it, but I kept this one and did not return it since I had already started using it and it seems to work perfectly.

Purchased this for my son's Xbox. Plug and play easy and since I got it on sale, the price was great! It does exactly what he needs it to do for Xbox storage. As with most WD hardware, it is very well made. Would suggest to anyone looking for external HDD.

I haven't used this external storage very much, but so far I like it a lot. I bought it to supplement the storage of my previous external drive. It is very small--it would be very handy to use with a laptop. It is smaller than my previous 1 TB external drive.

Bought this drive a year ago and I really like it. Easy to use and pretty fast. It is nice to have 5T bytes of drive space.

Best bang for your buck and runs smoothly for years. I get one every uear it goes on sale and they have been great for me.

I needed the ability to move a huge amount of data off of a dying computer real fast. Thankfully Best Buy had this drive in stock and I was able to get the transfer done. I’ve had a bunch of drives from this brand and they always deliver the quality

Compact footprint and large capacity with good performance

Came in a timely manner and worked straight out the box. I use it for storage expansion on my PS4s and it did great. I will say if you plan on moving story games between consoles, save your money because save data can't go to the drive.

Bought 2 as backups for music and photo collection. Transferring all those files off my PC made the collection safe and secure. As an additional benefit, I find Windows is running a bit faster and takes updates without hiccups.

Desperately Needed a back up drive. The WD - Easystore 5TB was on sale. Great little pocket device. No issues ever with Western Digital External drives

This WD Easystore 5 TB external portable hard drive works great. I carry it with me all the time and it is a great way to store all the stuff you use daily. Very easy to use and is small and light weight.

The external hard drive is easy to use. Plugs in with no trouble. The capacity of the hard drive allows me to record movies and full games. Easy to transfer to other media sources.

Love the store space for the price enough I bought a second one

i’m thinking this is the one that doesn’t automatically connect with your Apple computer that you have to set it up to but I still love it. It just was time-consuming. If that was the one cause there’s two other others I don’t know which one it was.

So far so good, was simple plug n play, moved files I needed over and have plenty of space left, great deal for the price

Very portable device. Small and light weight. Works great as a back up for my data. Does not need an external power cord as power is delivered via the USB cable when hooked up to a PC. Great value when it's on sale at BestBuy!

Decided to give the Easystore a try as opposed to the Paasport since it was a little bit cheaper. Although both have 5TB, the Easystore seems to be slower. Not a big deal since I'm just using it as an additional backup for archival purposes. I prefer the look and size of the Passport more than the Easystore, but it seems to be a good value. Been using WD for years and I intend to keep using WD.

Really nice to have this much storage in the palm of your hand & be portable. I can’t even be sure if my TV can sync up to it ( haven’t tried connecting it yet) but for every thing else it works great. Use it to back up my WD mycloud as of right now.

This thing is fantastic! We don't have tons of high-quality video to back up, but if we did, this thing would be able to hold it all! I never have any use for the software included in the device, but the space for the price was unbeatable!
