Purchased this for extra storage with our PS5. Works great and loads games quickly. It was easy to set up, just plugged it in and it was recognized immediately. Purchased this on special so the price was great as well.

I purchased this portable 5TB hard drive because I needed something which I can take with me as I travel. This hard drive is small and has lots of storage space. I even use it as the backup for my network cloud storage (3TB). Works well!

Excellent hard drive. Very easy to use and so much space. This is my 3rd Western Digital hard drive over many years and this is just as easy to use as the older versions. I am very glad I purchased another Western Digital product.

I use this external hard drive for my base Xbox One, and so far there have been no issues with either the drive or the games installed on it. This is a good product for anyone wanting to expand their last-generation console or PC.

I recently bought a "WD - Easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black", for my Mother as a Christmas gift. I put a LOT of Photos, Music, Movies and Books on this drive for her to enjoy. 5TB holds more than you'd expect. Afterwards she still has over 1TB left to use as "Back-Up" for her Laptop if she needs to.
I own three WD Easystore drives, 2TB, 5TB & 14TB. I have found them to be very nice. I Lost two Internal Hard drives to "Drive Failure" and now I keep my fav info, books, movies, photos, etc. on many drives. The Easystore drives work great for this purpose. I'm not taking any more chances with my Collections! Small, Lightweight, Portable drives make it easy to use and carry.

Wonderful product for a fair price. Was simple to setup and basically worked right out of the box. I had this up and running within ten minutes and have not had a single issue with it. Tons of storage that is easily accessible.

Purchased to use for game storage for an Xbox one system. Extremely simple to hook up, designate as the primary location for storage or simply move games from the internal drive to it, and take the drive with you. Definitely worth it.

This took care of my need for more space on my computer and allowed me to add needed downloads. Connection and integration were as simple as connecting the port to the device and clicking accept.

I've never had issues with external hard drives. This was a decent price and I got it for gaming consoles and it works perfectly. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is simply because I have not had it very long. If I were to come back and a couple years from now and update the review the score when probably change for the better or worse but so far we're all good here!

As usual, my WD external drive purchase is running flawlessly. My last drive, a 1tb MyBook was only beaten when my house literally burned down. I also lost my Passport 1 tb drive. So I replaced them both and upped my storage potential at the same tie. the USB 3.0 makes the file copying a breeze. Setting up the backup software was just as easy. These drives are the most reliable pieces of tech I've ever purchased. The drives I lost in the fire were 1tb drives. That's how long ago I bought them. Worth every cent.

This portable external storage device provides a one stop shop for backups and file storage. It also doesn’t require an external power supply which makes it easy to carry around and swap between computers.
