Western Digital - Easystore 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black

I have use western digital portable hard drive to back up my files no problem. It could be anything from word documents, video files or gaming hard drives. I just use it to back my video files. I do have one for gaming and it works great. Its like an extra hard drive. So much better than buying a usb thumb drive that we use to have.

I am very happy with the quality of my purchase.

Arrived quickly. Plug and play. 3TB Backup complete about an hour later. Easy.

Great drive! Plugged it in Win 10 recognized it immediately. Starting transferring data right away. No problems in installation or use.

I ordered to backup my files on my Mac. I had to set up to mount this external HDD for my Macbook Air. There are 3 categories that I wanted to comment on: durability, software and hardware compatibility, and portability.1st is durability - I would say it looks sturdy, but time will tell if this external portable HDD from Western Digital will lasts for many years to come. I would say this product is great for backup solutions on many categories instead of relying a cloud to store your data, files that are important to you. You actually bring it with you, if you want security.2nd is software and hardware compatibility - So I have a MacBook air and wanted to back up my files into this Western Digital HDD EasyStore. The name implies for NTS format that is compatible with Windows, so its a plug and play for Windows users. Highly recommend for Windows users. Also buy as much storage you can afford for your budget! That's all I can say. 4/5.As for the Mac user, there is a separate user software that is 3rd party which you have to install. Or you can choose free software to mount this drive into a Mac compatible. It is not user friendly in my opinion. A free mounting HDD software is performs easily and its functionality is user friendly to users who just want to mount their HDD with one click of a button that does everything rather than go to your System Preferences > Privacy and Security in 4 steps. But I was able to because I know how to do it. But for other users, who cannot figure this out and resort to Support Help Center will have problems. 3.2/5.3rd is portability - I would say it measures what is has been described on the product listing. It looks sturdy and is well built as a physical product. I haven't tried dropping it, but if you have a case. and labelled it to organize your digital files. Then yes! 4/5.Budget, as storage space has become little cheaper like 5TB for $138. I would say it's cheaper! You will probably find better deals outside of Amazon. Just wait for sales on electronics after January! I trust Western Digital for its durability, portability and update my files in a very big storage solution. Please take care of your HDD which are like books inside your personal or professional workplace in the digital world. 5/5.

I had a previous Easystore though it was smaller. I wanted a second one just for heavy data like photos and such media. This is by a great little hard drive, I have zero complaints. I like the product and it still lives up to it's name.

Received it on time. Plug and a play for PC.Works great so far.

For some reason this product was from Best Buy at some piont! The product package had rough handling a some point. (Packaging box damaged!) I feel that this product may have not been first class product! The actual shipping package box was in good condition. The product appears to work okay!
