Great device!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Was running out of room on my PS4 Pro and wanted to expand the memory so I can store more games. Looked at several external drives and decided on this one. WD has a great reputation, and this particular model was on sale. Easy set up. Quiet while running. Been several months and have had no issues. Got my boyfriend the same one a few weeks later to expand his storage and he loves it. Highly recommend!!

Quiet Harddrive
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I use this external drive for my Xbox One X. It's perfect. No issues. I have another external WD and thought I'd continue with the brand. So far I don't regret this purchase. I'm going to purchase again for my external laptop. It's quiet. My other old WD is big and I am not able to travel with it. This is just the right size to slip into a pocket.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5A few years back purchased a 1TB WD external hard drive... which is twice the size of this one. Happy to replace that old drive with this one, the size of this new 5TB hard drive meets my personal needs for home use, would recommend, no problems with product so far.

So big yet so small!
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Well, it’s a hard drive so unless something gets corrupted it seems to be working great. It’s very small and yet it’s 5 TB. I purchased it on Black Friday so instead of being $169 it was $89 which I was very excited about.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with an xbox one thanks
Asked by 9251214.
- A:Answer Yes it is. That was the whole reason I purchased mine. 500gb xbox was full and had to delete games every time an update or new game came out. Easy to use just plug it in and follow the onscreen instructions.

Q: QuestionIs there a real difference between the Easystore and the My Passport models besides the Hardware Encryption (which I have no clue what that does) and the Password Protection? Just trying to justify spending less money if I can. TIA.
Asked by doajeff.
- A:Answer 5TB PASSPORT is Designed for Mac and Time Machine ready USB-C and USB-A compatible Password protection + 256-bit hardware encryption Up to 5TB capacity Slim design Easy to use 3-year limited warranty Trusted drive built with WD reliability WD Discovery software for WD Security, Social Media and Cloud Storage import and WD Drive Utilities Superspeed USB port; USB 2.0 compatible I am with you.. they are both Great Hard drives and if all you are doing is storing YOUR stuff than the easy store is the best deal. That said you get an extra year warranty password protection and the 5tb passport does work with Time machine. I own both only because at the time, one was a better buy than the other when i needed space. Really the speed of transfer and reliability is the same.
