    Never been let down by a WD drive, and its the same story here. Great price and value. USB 3.0 is all the speed I need and 5TB is plenty of storage for such a portable drive.

    Nobody buys an external hard drive for glamour or status points, but the WD works exactly as I expected---perfectly. You can't ask for more than that.

    We chose this product because it gave more TB for the dollar. This really helped my son clear up some of his storage space on his desktop. Highly recommend.

    So far so good. Seems no matter how many reviews I read about hard drives before buying I get mixed reviews from other purchasers. No problems with it I just hope it doesn’t fail on me. Note- this must be reformatted for use with a MacBook
