    Works fine, never had a problem with other previous ones I bought, lots of space, good value, fill it up with data and put in a metal container, remember the data is more valuable than the computer.

    I love the WD external drives. They always work and remain fast for years. 5TB is the only one I will buy anymore. I own five of them now.

    Now that's a lot of space! Easy to set up and use. Each week I backup my hard drive by just clicking and dragging. Would buy again.

    Replaced a dead 8tb with this and it works even better. Light and compact and does not need a separate power source.

    It is exactly as they say, easy. Easy to set up, easy to carry around, even in the box, and at 5T it has ample room for most backups.

    Works Great For Backing Up Our Studio Data

    Power glitches from our local LA utility company meant our video/audio studio kept losing hard drives (and occasionally entire computers). While we have a vast collection of pro-grade external drives, these little 5TB WDs are inexpensive, work well, and are an excellent way to back up data when you're really in a bind.

    This functions as expected, which is a good thing. It is has a large capacity, especially considering its small size. Very handy.

    Just what I needed to save my PS4 gameplay data. Large storage in a small package. Use the second one to backup our computers.

    Purchased this hard drive last month. The download and set up took less than two minutes. The size is convenient for travel. I wish it come with a case. But i have just been using the clamshell from the manufacturer packaging to hold in while in my laptop case until i find one that fits. Once running it it kind of loud and vibrates which is slightly distracting. Made of sturdy material
