Worked super well with Ps5
Had this paired with a 2 TB SSD and had almost every game in my library installed.

I was looking to upgrade my PS4 hard drive but its expensive to upgrade the internal hard drive with any SSD drive over 1TB. So I was researching and found this drive. It accesses the games faster then the original drive which you need that for gaming!

This drive worked perfectly at first, then began malfunctioning same day I got it. It works some days and other days my computer won't recognize the drive. I would format it but that would mean deleting some very important files. I got this so the photos for my photography class won't take up too much space on my laptop (plus I'm a graphic design major so space is already limited as is), but this drive is already malfunctioning. How am I supposed to have clear memory space when this drive can't be recognizable by my laptop?? I've tried everything, even bought new USBs to see if the USB that came with the drive was the problem but NOPE. From the looks of it, I doubt I can get some of the files I already have in the drive back and transferred into a different drive and I don't want to potentially spend so much money on getting these files back, college is already as expensive as it is. Very disappointed, will start looking into different brands of external hard drives.
Hello, We're extremely sorry to hear about your experience, If you've already tried the drive with different cables with different PC then We'd recommend you initiate a replacement request by submitting an RMA via our support website (https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/30058) to facilitate the replacement of your defective drive under warranty.

So far working great. 5TB works good, good space, sturdy.

Bought this one for a family member who had maxed out his internal hard drive. The first thing I did was transfer a bunch of my drone videos onto the new drive. The progress ribbon just streaked across my screen. I may buy another one for ME!

Used to organize backup of media files. Usually buy Seagate but Best Buy only stocked WD. Either gets the job done, but would appreciate the choice to eliminate the need for two different storage management applications.

Never had any problems EVER with WD USB drives. I have 3 in use at the moment to store my ever increasing video library. All super fast and no data loss.

Works for what I need. Like all hard drives, Western Digital requires you to download their softonto your computer. I use it as a time machine for my Mac mini, so I only needed to reformat it.
I change out my hard drives every 3 years, and this is my 8th WD. Cable is always solid. No issues yet.

Initially I was looking for a USB stick drive to back up my laptop. After talking to a tech on the floor he recommended an external hard drive because of the amount of time it would take to back up 200 Gig. This drive worked flawlessly and fast.
