The drive is very fast, both when transmitting and receiving files. Very good product, I like the design, it's my third from this brand and I'm never disappointed.

Extremely disappointed
As for delivery, fast and impeccable as usual. I wanted 4TB to back up my work, but for a few euros more, I might as well get 5TB. On the other hand, I am extremely surprised and disappointed by the slowness of writing, but I had no choice.
Ordered on 22/11/2022Since I've had it, I've used it less than 10 times in 2 years. It's now 1 October 2024 and it's already starting to crash. Very very disappointed in the end.

Compact and efficient
It's still small in size, but with a good capacity. No installation, just plug it in and it's ready to go (Linux Mint).

WD 5 TB: after a few backups
Product as described. NTFS pre-formatted. First uses for backup without problem. As is often the case, see how it performs over time.

Great.
5to in the size of a packet of Gauloises. Quiet. Doesn't heat up much: below 30°C despite 6 hours of sustained writing. Gets along very well with Linux Mint 21.0 - About 20% smaller than its 4TB predecessors from the same manufacturer. I'm happy, very happy.

Good product
Immediately detected under windows 11, ready to use, fast usb3 speed (no USB C plug on this version).
I bought it with the Case logic QHDC-101K case because I had read that the hard drive vibrated .... it's true that it vibrates slightly ... at least now it's safe in its big cosy nest. I use it for occasional archiving.Review automatically translated -

MY PASSPORT.... Great!!!
Relatively compact device for its capacity. No worries about implementation even after partitioning. I have a large amount of media and use it as a backup with remarkable transfer rates. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Thanks to the LDLC team.

Product not stable in durability
I bought this product on 13/02/2020, and it was working fine, today I find myself with a hard drive that is running at 10MB/s, less than 10% of its theoretical speed. I'm trying to format it to see if it solves the problem, and after 15 hours of formatting, I'm only at 4% of progress on formatting the hard drive.
I have tried on 2 pc's and a nas and same problem on all 3.Review automatically translated -

Good external drive for my backups
The only downside is that I didn't manage to install the backup management application that comes with it, so I'm still copying files by synchronising directories. And this despite multiple attempts. I'm on W10 family 100% up to date.

Excellent
Very interesting price for a 5Tb. Very small and efficient for archiving, self-powered by USB, ideal.
The service from LDC (delivery and tracking) is as usual.
Just for info and reminder and to answer all the messages from people dissatisfied with the size of their disk in general, Windows or your OS will give you the size in MB, GB or TB with multiples of 1024 bytes noted 1KB. Here if you look at the properties of the disk (right click on the explorer), you will see 4,54 To but well 5 000 000 000 000 bytes, the count is there as always!Review automatically translated -

Very good
Small, fast external hard drive for what I've tried. Compact and good value for money, considering the memory size.

Very good product
Very interesting price for 5 TB. Once connected, it goes down to 4.54Tb and that's why I didn't buy a 4Tb. Self-powered by its USB 3 plug, the transfer and storage of more than 1.44Tb of videos was done in 2h25 for an average speed of 140MB/second. For this copy, I paid attention to the heating of the box which remained normal considering the volume of data, hardly hotter than my hand. Once the transfer is finished, the videos play perfectly and the temperature remains ambient. I also made a backup of some 27516 photographs for a total of 129 GB in less than 20 minutes. Concerning the said 5Tb, you have to take into account the loss of space between the announced value and the real value; 5Tb > 4.54Tb (other brands don't do better) and the small size of the 47cm cord. I have known Western Digital for a long time and have never had any problems, so I have complete confidence in the brand. I've never had any problems with them, so I'm very confident in them and the LDLC service, as always, from the speed of the order to the reception, is perfect.

small but strong
Great price for 5Tb.
I'm very happy with the product, it's perfect as an extension of a laptop to have my photo and video collections always at hand even when I'm on the move, especially as it's self-powered via the USB socket. I've never used it live, but it's a great tool for live events. I've never used it live, for games for example, so I don't know if the I/O speeds would be sufficient for that use.Review automatically translated
