Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the ample storage space and ease of use of the My Book 5TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive. The drive's reliability and price point are also frequently praised, along with its fast USB 3.0 transfer speeds and quiet operation. While some users found the included software less intuitive, the positive feedback on other features outweighs this concern.

    I received assistance from an employee. He told me what I needed and he was correct. The price was cheaper than expected. I was very pleased.

    WD My Book 5 TB is a great value. It is perfect for any desktop or anyone who does not need a portable hard drive. It does have a small foot print so it will not take up much room on a desk. Great buy. Highly recommended.

    Had this for nearly 2 months and I have no real problems so far. My only real complaint is I wish the USB cord with it was a bit longer.

    I had good experience with Western Digital drives and this one is no different. It works as intended and comes with a 2 year warranty.

    I bought this as an upgrade to my Xbox One storage. It connected easily and works great and load times are slightly faster with it.

    I have read reviews on the western digital drives and all were good. One of the reviews suggest the drive is faster than the one in the XBOX one. Haven't used it long enough to give a better rating.

    I bought this to expand on my X-Box One memory and it was super easy to use. I just plugged it in and it worked, pretty perfect. My XB1 is even running faster now, so bonus!! This price was unbeatable, I was looking for a 2TB, but it was such a small price jump up to 5 I figured why not.

    This drive is fast and that is what you want in a 5T drive. The price, on sale, was a perk also.
