Seagate STHP5000400 Backup Plus 5TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD - Black USB 3.0 for PC Laptop and Mac, 1 Year MylioCreate, 2 Months Adobe CC Photography, 2-Year Rescue Service

When the hard drive came I immediately noticed that the box was clearly damaged, dirty, and had been opened. The product inside was the same -- clearly opened and not new. The hard drive itself was silver (not black as described) and had scratches all over it. The hard drive I received was not at all what I thought I would be receiving and I returned it.

Perfect. No issues months later so far. I also have a 4TB. The wife uses this one for movies etc.

I have had exemplary service from this drive although I do not expect data recovery under the limited warranty nor do I expect a spinning drive (not SSD) to transfer data live a supercomputer. I am a simple person needing simple reliability for simple backups of my simple laptop and desktop. Something to grab in case of fire or hide incase of theft. EZ-PZ. If the third round of economic incentive checks ever materializes I ma buy two more and set up my NAS box. Wouldnt THAT be cool? Yep Yep Yep.

A very convenient device for extremely large amounts of digital storage space. I am in fact satisfied with this product. It does what I need it to do abundantly!

I bought the external HDD last black Friday, great deal 89.99. But...... At first, it seemed to work fine, it came with one exFAT partition, macOS recognized the partition, but I could not eject the disk, so I reformatted, then the problems started. I made 3 partitions, one exFAT, one ext4 and one for Mac. Nowadays just one of the 3 partitions is recognizable OSX, one in windows. My fix: Low-level format again and 4 TB of data transfer. Not recommended.

Its a very good external harddrive but its storage wasnt fully 5tb but was packing some few gbs.

i got this drive to consolidate all my video and picture files. its one of several redundancies im using but its nice to have everything in one place for archiving purposes.

works extremely well.

dope

Great external hard drive for the price. WDC never disappoints!
