    Purchased for business, WD is our go to brand, always performs. We use this to store digital video and the amount of storage for the price was unbeatable.

    Western Digital has yet to disappoint. I use this drive as NAS with my router. The price point is just right. Size is great. I have several different WD externals and they all work great!

    Spinning platters, what does it matter. 5TB storage that was does. Small and works. Do my archives as a second source. Cheap insurance.

    Bought it for my PS5 to store PS4 games. It works like a charm. I love it and all the extra space it gives me. Plug and play too after you format it for your system.

    This is the best and easiest to use portable hard drive that I have ever owned. I was able to store all the files and photo's that I had previously had stored on five other hard drives.

    Lot of space for a good sized (small) drive. Only uses the 1 cord (compared to older models that are clunkier and use a power cord and the usb cord). Got it on sale around $89.00.

    Product is great. Doesn't get too hot when I am backing up a large amount of files. Easy to store and easy to use. This is the second one I bought and highly recommend for anyone who has a lot of files to backup.

    I use this drive on my Mac Mini for time machine. It works as described. I had to format the drive. It keeps everything backed up as supposed. I did catch this drive on the deal of the day.

    It is small and fast, holds lots of data and can go with you if needed. Only had it for a bit, so not sure of durability, but am hoping it holds. Got it on a Daily Deal, so the price was good.

    There's a reason why so many other drives are more expensive. They are reliable. Let it be a lesson you don't have to learn, just spend more money on a reliable drive. It's better to have something reliable instead of something faulty. My experience: For the first month I loved this product. Took a little long to setup, but I finally got it running and IT'S FAST!!! Transferring 32 gb worth of videos and photos was done in less than 5 minutes. It's also a 5gb storage device for less than $100. It's the best deal, But something happened and now it's not working. I can't even read the files I stored into this. This problem just came up and Best buy emailed me saying hey, do you want to review this item...and why not, might as well tell potential buyers not to make the same mistake that I did. Maybe I'll write a better review once I get this thing working. Or maybe I'll leave this review here if it doesn't work. It's up to you, Best Buy.

    Needed an External HS for my Xbox. This model was on sale which made it a much better value than the XBox branded HD made by Seagate. Have had zero issues so far. Will probably get another one for my Son’s Xbox.

    Large capacity drive that can store my many videos that I edit. Small profile size makes it convenient to carry with me wherever I go. Would purchase again if needed.

    So far so good. Easy to set up. I rated it lower than five because it has the old-fashioned USB connector.
