    Purchased a portable hard drive to save important documents. I keep the hard drive in a safe deposit box so I don't use it much since it is in "storage".

    The product did not come with clear initial set up instructions or an easy way to warranty the product. I went to the website to figure it out and to download the necessary tools. Once setup, the product works very well.

    Can never have enough space on my laptop. Keep important large docs on an External Hard Drive to keep the 'Memory' on my laptop 'clear' to operate faster.

    This is the 3rd or 4th hard drive that I've purchased and I keep coming back to this brand. With the changes in technology and the sales, I am paying no more for this unit than the first one that I purchased that was 1TB.

    I purchased this drive to use it with my PS4. I had no problem with it on the first run. WD is also known for its reliability so it was great and all.

    Nice compact design. Great storage with 5 TB, you shouldn't be filling it up for a very long time. Speed is better than average, but not blazing fast. I would look for SSD for speed.
