    For 5TB around $110, I would say it's a fair deal now (Jan 2016). For performance and durability, that will remain to be seen.

    I have used other brands of hard drives over the years. None have given better and longer service than WD drives. This 5GB external USB 3 drive is no exception. Of course, it is nearly new right now. But if history repeats itself, I expect this drive keep my data stored and safe for a long time. I would recommend this drive to a friend.
