    I have purchased this before and this a second purchase of the same item. Works great. Huge amount of storage space. Very happy with both of them. Super fast USB3.0 when connected to devices that support it but works great using slower USB2.0 ports too. So much space for backing up whatever files you want. Plan to use this one for storing videos of favorite shows from my PVR (also from Bestbuy) to watch later when I have time.

    Well it’s a complicated story. I bought a 2TB one at $59.99 then I found the 4TB is $89.99. It’s an easy calculation that bigger is cheaper so I made a swap and paid the difference. However one week later I found the 5TB is also down to $89.99 so I went to the store and changed again. You have to know that the format is got but mbr . If you are still using windows xp then you can only use mbr which limits the capacity at 2TB.

    Exactly what I needed to store my Lightroom and Photoshop photos. As a busy real estate photographer, I don’t have time to wait for slow sd card imports. Using this drive, I can upload my photos and use them instantly. I think this drive is even faster than the internal on my MacBook Pro. For the price, you won’t find a larger storage drive with this kind of speed. Very happy with this purchase.

    Bought for my son. He and his wife take a lot of pictures and video. This is an easy way to add storage that they can share between themselves and with the rest of the family. One cable power/connection. Small physical size makes it easy to take around. Works on any PC (read Apple too).

    This is a repeat purchase of biggest savings with Best Buy's pricing for the same make and model of WD HDDs. The unit is compact-sized and yet with huge storage capacity!

    Purchased a WD 5TB portable drive as a Best Buy Deal of the Day. Great price, great product, and easy set up. Rapid fulfillment of my order, shipped promptly to my home. A wonderful purchase experience and additional peace of mind with automated, daily incremental backups of a home desktop hard drive.
