If your PC is wheezing under the weight of too many photos, videos, and games, it's time for an upgrade. WD 5TB Elements portable hard drive gives you a ridiculous amount of extra space in a compact, plug-and-play package. Right now, it's $114.99 at Amazon, its lowest price in weeks.

Let's be honest: 5TB is a ton of storage. That's over a million photos, thousands of HD movies, or enough game installs to make Steam weep. Back up essential files, hoard massive media libraries, or clear out your sluggish PC; this drive has you covered.

It's also stupidly easy to use. There are no drivers or software; plug it into your PC or Mac via USB and start dragging files over. It's formatted out of the box for Windows but can be quickly reformatted for Mac if needed. The SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection ensures fast transfer speeds up to 5Gbps, so you won't be waiting forever to move large files.

This portable hard drive is perfect for travel, at just 4.4 inches long and weighing under half a pound. Toss it in your bag, take it to work, or use it as a backup vault for your irreplaceable files. And with a two-year limited warranty, you've got some peace of mind if anything goes wrong.
