    Great deal for a fair amount of external capacity. Price was good and the size of the storage on the drive is a good buy. Will use it for my Xbox One additional storage after I format it.

    I have purchased several of these high capacity drives. I primarily use them for storage. I have consolidated all of my thumb drives onto this one drive, freeing up the thumb drives for other purposes. The quality of the Easy Store drives is outstanding. Western Digital is an outstanding brand name and the lower cost does not mean you sacrifice quality. I have never had one of them fail to date. I highly recommend them for everyday use.

    lots of storage for a ton of games on the Xbox (or PS) and is always fast and reliable. And for the price, you can't beat it.

    Contemplating getting this over name brand? Well this little hard drive packs a punch. 5TB hard drive with a great price point. I have had no issues and verified it is a true 5TB hard drive. Writes to the hard drive at great speeds with no issues. I would recommend this hard drive over a big name brand like Samsung.

    So far, so good. Using it for my Xbox Series X just to hold extra titles so I don't have to download them whenever I feel like playing. Won't play Series X games from this drive, you have to transfer back to the internal for them to work, but faster than downloading them again. Had a Seagate drive before but it died, WD holding up pretty strong so far.
