    I use a mini PC with Linux as my main PC. I have five (5) 5TB drives attached to store files. The WD Easystore drive fits this requirement superbly.

    I needed some extra space on my editing computer, and this five terabyte drive gave me plenty of space for my raw 4K footage that I shoot. Easy plug and play too, which is always a plus in my book!

    Western Digital. Always a great name in quality and reliable hard drives. I picked this up as a second hdd for my Xbox One. It has plenty of storage for my huge game collection and on top of that the games seem to load faster.

    I don't have much room in my desk for an external, desktop hard drive that needs to be powered from an extra outlet, so this portable drive is perfect for me. The size is discrete and the 5TB size is perfect as I can tell it's going to take me some time before I have to buy more space for my media. In short, I'm very happy with this drive. I have at least six other portable hard drives and they are all WD and they are all still in good condition and working, so I know WD is a good, reliable brand that has never let me down.

    Amazing external HD for Xbox 1 X

    My 1TB Xbox One X Battlefield edition (limited run gold/gray combo) was running out of storage, so went to buy an external storage. I was initially planning on getting a 1 TB but then saw this one on sale. Took advantage of the sale and now have 6TB of storage on my Xbox. So far no issues and this has been my 2nd portable WD external drive (my other one is a 2TB drive, for PC backups). This is compact enough that it sits behind my Xbox and I haven't had any issues yet. Still running strong and have been using it every time I use my Xbox since the games I play has their storage and data saved on this device rather than the short 1TB internal Xbox storage.

    I bought this portable hard drive as extended storage for my PS4. It works great! I’ve had no issues with it whatsoever. It’s crazy to think that 5 Terabytes could fit in a case that could fit in the palm of your hands.

    Great product. I use it on my ps5 for extra space for my games. Works like a charm no issues! Was able to snag this on sale too which was a plus! But even full price you get your money’s worth.

    This portable hard drive was inexpensive and holds 5TB of data, allowing you to backup multiple computers/phones/tablets. Just plug and play. Hard to get any better for the price.

    Nice small size and good portability. Easy to set up and have had no issues at this point. Would buy again or recommend as an inexpensive storage option that isn't super fast
