Customer Ratings & Reviews

Western digital has never let me down. This hard drive works excellent. Good price for plenty of storage

Fast read/write speeds over USB, no issues for the last few months of operation, quiet operation.

I’m currently using this product to back up a large file of music. Previously i stored all the music on a NAS drive but the NAS drive failed and I lost everything. I now have to re-record everything again which will take months. I’m hoping to avoid that problem this time by storing the music on this drive and keeping it in a remote location in case it’s necessary. This won’t be the only copy but it might be the safest. I bought the unit for speed of data transfer which is is pretty good so far.

Great product to backup all of irreplaceable pictures and files. Have had many Netgear products and they are very reliable.

The WD easystore 12TB External USB 3.0 is easy to get going. Just plug it in to the USB port and away it goes.

Shucked this baby for the 12 TD so I can add to my synology. Working great so far. Wait for deals on these hard drive if you can.

Excellent storage unit, lots of space to store all of my files. I like the cost of this as well.

This hard drive holds a great deal of information. I have used it to back up three of my hard drives.

Lots of storage at a great price. I mostly use it for video at this time and the speed is totally fine. Pleased so far...!

Really good drive, I have two of them. Sometimes it unmount itself, but mounts right back up. Still reliable as a Backup!!

This is my second one of these I have bought from best buy. I'm now able to store more files and do away with two 4 TB drives I've been using.

Great large capacity drive. Don’t expect lightning fast transfer rates, but better performance than the smaller portable drives. No problems with 4K media storage and playback. Recommend waiting for a sale as this drive hits the $199 and under mark if you’re patient and wait. I own two 12TB and three 10TB of these drives. No issues.

Bought this drive during Black Friday as it was an insanely good deal. So far, it’s handling everything well with no issues seen. No events where the drive got disconnected and does the job as expected. It’s an externally powered drive so you have to plug it into a wall socket for it to work. Other than that, it’s basically any other external hard drive.

Holds a lot. Couldn’t beat it for the price. Works great.

Excellent for storage. Easy to use and you're up and running in 5 minutes.

The price is good for the volume. However, it makes some odd, soft clicking noise while sitting in standby like some other reviews. Not sure it's a common problem for this model/brand.

So far, so good. Very good price, in comparison. Plus, I like WD products.

I take a lot of pictures of lighthouses and Zoo animals. I use up quite a bit of space so this is perfect for my needs.

Purchased this hard drive while it was on special. lots of storage space. The drive is fast and works well with my iMac.

Great Drives. Ive purchased several of these over the years and have yet to come upon a dud
