Great portable hard drive for the sale price. I have been using a few of these 5TB's and have not had any issues with them over the past year. I use them frequently for excel files and pictures. I can recommend these without hesitation.

I've had this external harddrive for a while now, and it has served me wonderfully. That being said, I don't use it frequently, but when I do, it is very easy.
First, I do use icloud to backup my immediate computer items. I also backup my laptop info on to this easystore about once a month. I've lost all of my info before, so maybe I'm a little overboard. That aside, this device is very easy and intuitive to use. I plug it in, and I am immediately prompted to do the time machine backup, which is great.

I purchased to expand the memory of my PS4, and it was easy to set up and works perfectly with no problems. No discernible slowdown reading or writing to the external (as compared to the internal), and I have so much more room for games!

this is the greatest externel usb portable hard drive western digital could possibly offer in 5 terabytes of space with an external plastic shell and usb 3.0 capabilities. Taking it on the go is great fun and im overwhelmingly happy with my purchase.... so much so that i am writing this grand review for 25 points

This is my second the first was smaller but I have had it a few years now and no problems,,, I got the second one to help separate some things and make some files more portable. I have a cnc so I can do all that work and save all the models and g code in one place for that machine , 5 t may sound like a lot and it really is but if you never want to run out of room this is the way,,,, wish I could run windows bloat 10 on 1 and keep my pc drives clear and running faster :<0) hmmmm I buy these for friends as presents and they thank me later when there pc goes down but they still have all their pictures and videos saved.

I needed more space as I store thousands of pictures on my computer. This is just what I needed. I can take it with me and use it on other family member's computers so I don't have to take mine everywhere I go. Love it!

By far the best affordable and reliable quality portable HD option available. I purchased this to upgrade my 2yr old 1TB HD that was running low on space and now with 5TB I have enough space for everything!

This thing was super cheap and worked great for my PS5 as an external storage. Don’t waist your money on those game ready drives this one has way more memory at half the price 5tb for price of a 500gb “game drive”.

This unit packs A LOT of storage into a pocket size form factor. My normal strike price for a 4TB pocket drive is around $100. When I saw this 5TB drive on sale for $90 just before Black Friday, I grabbed it.

Kids needed extra storage for Xbox. This device has lots of it. Plug and play. Easy to setup. Fast. Probably would have bought something with less storage if this wasn’t on deal of the day. Happy with purchase. Kids are happy too!

I really like the capacity and the ease of use of this WB - Easystore 5TB External Hard Drive. I plugged it into my USB 3.0 and backed up my entire desk top hard drive and because it is so fast, I look forward to doing it regularly.
