    This is my first external hard drive and I really love it. All of my important documents and work from school are safely stored away. The process to get it connected and read the instructions is really simple, and you decide what is stored in it without everything being backed up every time.

    I needed a larger drive to save old FB videos to because of their new retention policy. This drive provides the space I need and allowed me to download them quickly. Now I'll be able to archive the videos and will also upload them to the new YouTube page that we will be creating.

    The My Passport WD 5 TB External USB 3.0 portable hard drive was purchased from Best Buy with an additional 2-year warranty. I purchase the additional Best Buy warranty for drives for peace of mind. However, this is my second WD 5TB external "My Passport" hard drive. I have found the first one so reliable that I've dedicated it as my transfer drive between my PCs and new Apple Mac Mini. I reformatted the drive from NTFS to exFAT so it is readable by both MAC computers and PCs. This new drive was reformatted into Apple's APFS platform so information on it can be backed up using Apple's Time Machine software. I store my 1 TB Lightroom catalog of 25,000 images on it because it is so reliable. This is a great drive that is reliable.

    This is the highest capacity HDD that can be powered by USB without the need for an AC adapter. It works okay for holding Chia plots. I prefer the Best Buy exclusive Easystore over this because the Easystore tends to be cheaper. However, the Passport can sometimes be had for a nice price.

    Can't beat the price per TB value

    This was the best priced large (4TB) external storage device. I was already using a 2TB WD Passport for the last 2 years, so now I've got 6TB in total. This is so much easier than having to replace internal drive devices.

    Sony finally updated the PS5, and now lets you transfer PS5 games to an external HDD, so I had to go purchase a big but affordable external HDD. This drive was easy to install has 5tb and doesn't need to be powered by an AC adapter.
