    So far so good. It’s my second easystore drive and this one has proved as “easy” as the last. We’ll see about longevity but my old one is going strong still two years later. XBox One immediately recognized and setup drive including formatting. Very please with purchase thus far.

    This is wonderful! Bought this for my daughter who takes lots of photos and videos. She was able to partition the drive to save from her Mac and pc. Easy setup. Now I need my own

    My PS5 current storage buddy

    Been using this for my PS5 and have had no problems thus far. It's been about 10 months and its going strong with no issues. There's been a few power failures in the house and yet this thing still keeps kicking and not losing all its memory files. So due to that alone I'm giving it a 5 star. When playing PS4 games off of it on the PS5 I don't experience any delays or weird bugs at all. Overall it gets the job done and leaves you plenty of space to work with at an excellent price!

    Yes, you can shuck an 8 TB WD Red with a 256 MB cache (see Reddit for model numbers to get larger cache) at this price point. Only downside is shorter warranty. Load up that server!

    I ended up breaking up the packaging and taking the drive out to put into my pc, for some reason at the time this one was cheaper than an internal. works great!

    I bought this for 159.99 when it was on sale, which is a really great deal for this drive. The drive inside is an 8 TB Western Digital Red drive, so it's a great product all around.

    I tested this drive out initially and got about 200MB/s Read/Write via USB 3.0. Shucked it open to reveal a white label drive and stuck it into my NAS unit. Works like a charm.

    This is the third one I purchased from BBY and it is very hard to let it go with this price. Connected to the xbox one and works just fine. A lot of room for gaming and videos.

    These use untried disks with a notoriously high fail rate which is why they're so cheap but BestBuy will replace them within the return or Geek Squad period or then Western Digital will replace them within the 3 year warranty period. However, don't register these with Western Digital unless & until you need to replace them because the WD registration is nontransferrable. Dont yank the USB cable or power adapter from the hard drive. Unplug the power adapter from whatever external power souurce first. Also, don't drop or hit them nor store next to heat source or in the sunlight

    I bought this to replace my 1TB External for my Xbox One. I wanted a 5 Tb but Best Buy has no in-store purchase options for that, so I got the extra 3 TB. Works perfect with my One.
