    I have owned several external drives and this one is the best! It is huge in space and not huge in taking up space. I love it! Would recommend!

    As I have said in prior reviews My husband and I take thousands of digital photos each year. We needed a backup to put them on so if the computer had a glitch or died we did not loose our years of precious photos... This was our go to and we purchased two of these and have them hooked up when we are downloading the photos from our camera memory cards. One stays on the computer and the other is a back up we store off site.

    Love it! It does the trick and has held up fine and I still have plenty of space to load more. I Don't like how it doesn't have an eject mode/ feature because im worried about the files getting messed up but other than that I love this thing Life saver. Fairly priced as well

    This was a good purchase, so I bought an extra one for my wife's computer. It was easy to set up and works invisibly in the background. My backups are local and available in seconds rather than experiencing long download times from my former provider.

    Dependable Drive for my 4K Video Files/Editing!

    So far I have had no issues with my 5TB Easystore HD! I have purchased two of these (one as a backup that I don't use and just store away) and have not run into any problems whatsoever. I can depend on these when I am transferring my 4K footage from a film shoot and when I am backing up important editing files. I have also gotten it on a sale as well, and I've seen it on sale often, so if it's full price you might want to hold off just to get more bang for your buck.

    I am very satisfied with the purchase of this external hard-drive. The 5TB capacity is more than enough to back up all my files and photos. The only thing you have to know is that you have to download some programs (WD Drive and WD Discovery) Utilities from the vendor website and install them on your PC. Otherwise, your PC will not be able to recognize this drive. Other than that, it is working fine and I am very happy with it. Oh, you can also download Acronis True Image for Western Digital software to create an image of your pc. That is a great tool to have.
