Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works very well. And, very tough. The shipping box was very damaged, but the product survived and works great. Got it on sale.

Works fine. No issues, in fact, helped me clean up an issue with the computer I was using.

Not as fast as thunderbolt but will be a good place to store things as there is plenty of space!

Works great, good capacity. I would buy again!!!!!

This drive has a lot of storage at a reasonable price and works fine without the encryption

Easy to use. Great product. Works as described...

I normally get Seagate but when it wasn't available I got this and it works fine

Very nice design, very fast with USB 3.0 Slso compact and can be taken anywhere.

I bought this external drive to store the local backups of my home server. It saves much faster than the old WD MY Book, taking less than 3 minutes vs over 10 minutes from the old drive.

lots of space that fits in my pocket , good if need it on the go

This is good deal for that much storage The only thing it is not recognized by my cloud

I've been running my two 1TB external hard drives to the limit the past few months. With this 5TB upgrade I'm re-purposing one old external as a home network storage and the other as a gaming hard drive. This 5TB should hold us over for a while even with constant backups of photos, videos, and other work.

Feels solid in your hand, the connecting cable is somewhere between annoying and perfect. No internal movement or rattle when you move it around. Not sure how well it would survive a drop. It does what it is supposed to do without a hitch. Your mileage may vary but I am happy with this purchase.

Needed to back up photos, ran out of space on last one...this should last a long time

I wanted something to create a backup since my alienware was giving me troubles and I already lost a bunch of my VMs with data. I bought it when it was on sale. It comes with the hardware encryption module, which is quite interesting. The speed benchmarks were similar to any regular harddrive.

Good buy I would buy it again. Small and compact easy to use

Great product. WD has never failed to impress me.

Great product! I was a little disappointed that this did not come with a USB-C adapter. I say this because I bought the same exact hard drive before that came with one but also since technology is ever changing USB-C has gradually been on products the past few years.

Small enough to carry in a briefcase. Plug and Play.

Works great! I use it for storing video files and it's fast enough to be able to directly edit from it. I have 2 of these now and haven't had any issues.
