Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

After the sale of PS4, the question arose of transferring the digital collection to PS5. Everything fit and there is still 800 GB left. In order to open all the possibilities, I had to buy a cable at the end with typeC. Now this HDD acts as the previous generation of the console!

Pros
  • Very stylish visually. That's straight black and white, without too much smudge!
Cons
  • Tiled writing, but when used in my case, only for reading data, is not at all a disadvantage.

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

The benchmark speed is 110/117 MB (Read/Write). In fact, when copying files, the write speed floats from 1 MB to 98 MB, an average of 60 MB (why I haven’t figured out such a spread yet), I tried to copy from a high-speed SSD - the result is the same. Reading in fact is stable at 111 MB. I did not note any outstanding characteristics that give the disc a special status. Of all my external and internal HDDs, only very old 2022 releases are inferior to it in speed, so I can judge from everything…

Pros
  • - Design - Compact - Works
Cons
  • - From time to time briefly disconnects from the PC (maybe the problem is not with the disk, but with my hub) - Nothing outstanding except the design

Best price for this product, will buy more!

When buying a hard drive, I chose between Toshiba and WD, Seagate is in the span, I do not advise purchasing drives from their production, and since there were no models in this price segment among Toshiba that would interest me, the choice fell on this model. I think the only drawback is the connection connector (in general, this is not such a minus, because a similar connector is installed on almost all external HDDs).

Pros
  • + External design + Recording speed + Anti-slip pads + Sturdy body
Cons
  • - The connector for connection is very inconvenient, it is difficult to insert the cable, as well as to remove it. - As for me, the disk heats up very much during recording, noticeably strongly.

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

A "screw" that holds 5 TB of data yet only takes up 2.5 inches of space is a very cool design. In addition, the fact that it is manufactured by Western Digital (WD) indicates that it is dependable, in contrast to products manufactured by Seagate. You won't be able to get a good deal on a new one at YM, but you can get one elsewhere. With all of its perks. Volume. It is the maximum capacity for an external hard drive with a 2.5-inch form factor that is driven by the USB port of a computer or…

Excellent product, the best quality.

An excellent disk connected to the Xbox one x immediately, everything works. The seller did a good job of delivering to the end, which turned out to be fast. I advise everyone.

Pros
  • Price quality
Cons
  • Not

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I took the disk specifically to increase the memory on the PS4pro, although I could have taken any other. I have never had any problems with WD. Reliable, it also came out for a stock for 7 thousand. Works great, I've been using it for a month. Looks in military style, the material is very pleasant. I did not notice any difference in loading from the hard drive or from the curling iron itself.

Pros
  • Large volume, high speed
Cons
  • Didn't find

Doesn't work after 30 days. Raven doesn't care.

Complete scrap. The hard drive started failing 30 days after purchase. I reformatted, always the same. Tried new devices, never worked. I contacted Amazon support to get a new one and after about 3 hours the ignorant, unqualified tech support said they would not refund or replace me. Absolute rubbish. Do not buy.

Pros
  • So far satisfied
Cons
  • Repair

Amazingly large storage hard drive

For the price and the fact that it's a '5TB hard drive' it's perfect for those who want lots of storage at a good price and quality! This hard drive should have enough space for more than a hundred games, maybe up to 200 hundred. The typing speed is great too! This is a hard drive. Better not be rough with it, moving parts and all. I haven't tested it for durability, but it looks like it could take a fall or two.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Weight

Very good wheels so far!

I have already bought five 5TB versions. I have a bad cable but I had a few extra cables so it didn't matter. The slices themselves were great. I've written at least 2TB of data at a time with no issues. I bought these because the largest external USB drive that didn't require external power to date was 2TB. Now it's only 5TB and I'm replacing the old ones. I've had good luck with WD over the years.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not bad

Just a regular 4.5TB drive

Works fine. Literally plug in a cable and your Xbox will prompt you to format the drive. My complaints are that the panel is called "black" but the main color of the device is white. No problem, just annoying. Another complaint is that it's not a 5TB drive, it's a 4.5TB drive. I understand that each drive will never have the capacity stated on the box due to system files. But this drive started with 500GB already in use. That's a huge number for a drive I just installed without an operating…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Some issues

Firmly. Looks good. Slightly better than other 5TB external drives.

All testing was done using a USB 3.1 GEN2 port with the included cable. The speed claim of 140 MB/s was a bit aggressive. Revain did not add any additional security when shipping this physical disk. Came in bubble wrap and manufacturers packaging. Western Digital Packaging was good. The rubber feet are not 100% sticky and will slip when you pull the cord. Not particularly impressed. $160 after taxes. The Seagate MyBackup Plus 5TB costs less than $130.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Some bugs

Slow down to an unusable scan, 2-10MB/s write speed

Reading from this drive is fine but I have no idea what's wrong with it. I've only had it for a few months, mostly on standby, and now it's practically unusable for everyday use. Whether it's writing small or large files to it, 500KB files or 20GB files, it takes a very long time, with speeds ranging from as little as 2MB/s to 10MB/s. I think I need to contact the warranty department for this item. I've never dropped it or anything like that and it reads great at 110MB/s. When I originally…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Older model

Cannot be pulled out

In short, this drive cannot be pulled out because it has no SATA interface and the USB control board is soldered. See attached drawings for details. Opening a disc is very easy. Use a 2mm hex screwdriver on each of the four corners of the aluminum plate. Carefully pry up and remove the panel. There is some resistance as it is held in place by four soft strips of adhesive. From there, pull out the four plastic latches holding the drive in the case. Now you can lift the drive slightly and remove…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Appearance
