Review: Great Hard Drive and Easy - Was stupid af and thought it was a 3.6 no I just can't read sometimes! It's great and holds just about everything I need and almost another lifetime more. Not a bad price and so far very reliable, thank you!
Review: Reliable 5TB portable drive that just works – perfect for backups and extra storage - I’ve used a bunch of these WD Elements drives over the years, and this one is exactly what you’d expect – simple, no-frills, and it does the job really well. Plugged it into my Windows laptop and it showed up right away, no software install needed. Same thing on my Mac – plug and play, formatted it quick and good to go. USB 3.0 speeds are solid for a spinning drive – copying big video files or game backups takes time but it’s consistent and way faster than USB 2.0 junk. The 5TB gives you a ton of space. I use it mainly for Time Machine backups, storing old photos/videos, and keeping Steam libraries I don’t play often. Fits everything I need without worrying about space for a long time. The drive itself is pretty quiet – you hear a faint hum when it’s working
