Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought 2 dozen of these and all passed their SMART test, no DOA. Through their USB3 port they are OK but no speed demon (about 16-18 MB/s), but connecting directly to a SATA3 port I see about 70MB/s sustained WRITE speed. That's decent for these drives; they're not 7200rpm. I have a chronic heating issue and these drives are cool, literally, and THAT is very important to me. btw, there are at least three different drives that might be inside the enclosure (serial # begins with 8 or 9 or A) and the WD120EMAZ (8...) has 3 mounting holes on each side.

Plenty of storage space and easy to use. It’s literally plug and play, drag and drop.

Great external drive. Reasonably fast. I've had great results with other Easystore devices and I imagine this will be the same. Happy with my purchase.

This is fast, and works great! I was able to combine many of my smaller portable storage into one mass storage...my only complaint is the "spin up" time, but I think that has more to do with USB power saving than the actual unit itself.

Overnight I had to become a video editor using Final Cut Pro X for the church that I serve, posting prerecorded services to YouTube. My terabyte SSD on his MacBook Pro just wasn't big enough for all the library and rendering files. My dad found this and was gracious enough to buy it for me to use. I've used close to 3 terabytes already, and the hard drive is working as a hard drive should. Still going strong!

It seems to be working fine for me. I had no problems setting it up/ It runs quiet.

Easy to setup and plenty of storage. I did recommend to a friend and they also purchased.

This is the fifth storage unit that I have purchased and I am impressed with the quality durability and brand! I recommend highly

I have always used WD for external storage, the ones with moving parts back in the day were the worst especially if you have cats that knock them over.

Awesome product. I use it for backup purposes and considering current events...I think I need to purchase some more for backing all of my data.

Simple to use. Plug in power, plug in usb. Great price with Western Digital quality.

I have two setup in RAID 1 as a nas, has worked without issues for the past year

This is a great product! 12TB is an incredible amount of storage and at a great price!

AmazIng drive for the price. Tons of storage and as quiet as a spinning disk drive can be!

12TB WD Red, white label inside. Good enterprise level componentry. High quality case, transfers at ~175mb/s through usd. would recomment.

I castrated it and mounted the drive in my nas. its a sata drive in a box toss the box.

I've had multiple WD Easystore drives over the years, because they're inexpensive and get the job done. Interestingly, the 12TB model is not one I've had the pleasure of using, because it was lost in transit. That being said, things worked out in my favor, because the 14TB model went on sale, so I purchased that one instead, using the refund from the one that never arrived. It's fantastic!

I shucked this drive for the WD red drive that was inside. This drive has a white label but cross referencing the part number it is a red drive; with that perspective, this drive is much more affordable. I did file transfer via USB, only to test transfer speeds before installing the drive to the SATA port on my motherboard. Bottom line; great value, great brand. It all works as advertised.

Awesome product lots of space and easy to use would buy again.

Love, love, love my TB external hard drive. I keep my computer clean and save files on drive. Super-fast save/retrieval.
