    I am a pc gamer and this is a perfect way to extend your storage for such an affordable price. The speed for transferring files is fast and I get a great performance when gaming with games downloaded on this hard drive. I definitely recommend it for pc gamers with low storage space. Will definitely be picking another one of these up.

    Worked better than expected as an external drive. You can play games from your steam library right off of it, no problem. The only issue is that it goes to sleep when it isn't in use for a while, so it may take a moment to wake up again if you come back. For example, if you are playing something, pause the game, and then come back in 30 minutes then it may take a few seconds before you can resume while you wait for the hdd to wake up.

    I got the WD Easystore 5TB portable HD to backup my PC. As a screenwriter, I need to have access to all my work. A computer crash could wipe my hard drive. I plugged in the WD drive and it was immediately recognized. I set the automatic back for the time I wanted and the data I needed backed up. It works great. I also recently had to back up my entire PC because I was upgrading the memory and hard drive. The 5TB was more than enough space to accomplish this. And I was glad that I did because things didn't go well with copying to the new drive and the only way I got it to work was by doing a restore from the Easystore drive. It really saved me several more hours of frustration. I highly recommend this drive.
