Purchased this on sale at $239.99. Total Storage Size is actually 12.7TB. Previous reviews indicate this drive is 5400rpm, newer shipments run an updated model that states 7200rpm. https://smarthdd.com/database/WDC-WD140EDGZ-11B2DA2/85.00A85/ I bought this drive to store & play games off of and the drive serves that purpose well for 90% of PC games and PC emulated games. It only struggles with modern open world games like Elden Ring or Marvel's Spider-man Remastered. World of Warcraft & a heavily modded Bethesda game like Elder Scrolls/Fallout suffer as well. This is just a limit of most external HDD drives in general though and doesn't reflect poorly on the drives overall great performance for most other games. I have included screenshots from CrystalDiskInfo & CrystalDiskMark Scores from that drive at 86% full

As stated, this external drive has so much storage. Over triple what I've had in the past. I'm looking for reccomendations on what to store in it. Functionally, the device is perfect. Read/write speeds around 200mb/s, which could be better. I bought this device for $182 after a 15% hard drive trade in discount. Makes this an incredibly good deal! Please don't purchase it for more than $250, this thing goes on sale year-round. Also note that this external drive is shuckable- this means you can take it out of its shell and install it in a 3.5" drive bay, provided you tape off some very specific pins. Follow the guide on r/datahoarder for specific details!

Came with everything needed to use it. Got the drive on sale for $199 in November 2020. Excellent purchase for that price. Like my 12TB Easystore, this 14TB runs cool (5400 rpm) and quite. Got 12.7TB usable capacity after formatting under NTFS. Been buying Western Digital bare drives for years (they used to have 5 year warranties back in the day) as they've been much more reliable then Seagate's which used to fail constantly for me personally and at work. Hopefully these Easystore's will just as reliable.

These massive harddrives were a great buy on sale. They are very responsive even though they only have 5400rpm drive. However, that means they will last longer and generate less heat. I tested throughput and it was not much less than a 7200rpm seagate external, so that means it is limited by the USB3.1 speed.

This item has been great. It is fast and reliable. I was able to grab it on sale, which was awesome. Great for storing games, music, and movies. I purchased a 2 TB one of these about 10 years ago and its still kicking, so I am sure this 14 TB will be around for years. Total Space is 14 TB, but Windows breaks it down to slightly above 12.7
