    5 TB is definitely enough for daily use and data backup. WD is also a reliable company makes reliable products.

    This little guy is being used for storing movies on a media server powered by a Raspberry Pi 4-B. I have had one blu ray and three DVDs playing simultaneously off the server all the while copying another DVD to the drive. While that attests to the awesomeness of the Pi, this drive obviously kept up with it without flinching. It didn’t even get warm to the touch. I haven’t had it long enough to speak to it’s longevity, but so far I’m very pleased.
