Customer Ratings & Reviews

Does its job. Holds the data that I need and easy to use.

Bought this for external storage for my Xbox Series X. So easy to use, was detected immediately by the console.

Great product and simple portable 5 Terabyte Hard drive. It's easy to carry and will fit in a pocket.

HAVE NUMEROUS VERSIONS OF THIS PRODUCT. THE PRICE WAS GOOD. USB 3.0 WAS MANDATORY. CANNOT HAVE ENOUGH STORAGE.

This drive is an awesome 5TB USB 3.0 hard drive for under $100! I use them for storage and backups. So far so good!

This is a great portable hard drive with excellent storage capacity for a low cost.

One star for each terabyte! Easy to connect and use! It's a good buy! Lightweight and easy to carry.

So far so good, works perfectly, nothing else to add

So far so good - product is pretty quick, holds a lot, and of course is portable. Haven't had any issues yet.

Been using it for video backups and its portability is great I just hook it up to the tv and voile instant video. and so far no problems, this is a little thicker and heavier than my 2Tb portable drives, but then again this is a 5Tb mechanical drive, but it is still smaller than a 3.5 hdd, anyways it works very well for portable backup of any type of file, the file transfer speed is very good, I get very least 145 Mbps. I would recommended it.

Large capacity, great for Apple Time Machine backups. Not a fast drive but the price/capacity makes it a good value.

Fast and small. Nice backup software.

I’ve bought a lot of these drives as cheaper than internet options to backup and transfer many terabytes. Once you reformat them, they work exceptionally well. I always travel with a couple of them in my pack.

It’s pretty smooth and hardly makes noise the 5tb storage will last you a good while it’s a pretty solid investment.

Huge amount of storage space at a reasonable price. Set up took a little work but WD was able to help.

Great deal. Used to store XBox games and the setup was very easy.

Used for bulk backup of my pictures. Easy to use and reliable drive. WD has always been a good drive for me.

It’s so small! Like, wicked small, and TONS of storage. USB is super fast, great, inexpensive, hard drive

Fantastic. Using on PS5 with ps4 games. Lots of space for the huge backlog of games. Run great on this drive.

The performance of the hard disk is very good. The size also very compact.
