Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is fairly easy to use. Has a lot of room for storage outside of the computer.

Works well quality fair, over priced, slow to medium speed

I bought this as a backup for my ext4100 NAS. I took several calls to support, but after I reformatted this easystore it worked perfectly.

12 TB of storage. Small form factor, big capacity. Maybe the best I've ever used.

Great hard drive got back at a great price. Fast usb3 interface.

These are great. Not much more to say. Great price. And plenty of storage. For now.

This has been a very wise purchase for us. We really needed the extra storage to save videos which load up the internal hard drive quickly. This hard drive is quick and has given us absolutely nothing to complain about.

Excellent hard drive. Works perfectly with my computer system

I bought this during Black Friday for $180 and it's incredible how cheap hard drives have become over the years. I always buy more hard drives every year and they're always increasing the capacity. No complaints about the drive and Western Digital is known to be reliable as well.

Five years ago, this same form factor could only handle 500 Gigs, now it is hitting 12 TB. Amazing storage capabilities in such a small form, all your multimedia files now have somewhere they can call home.

excellent product, excellent service support retail stores

Using to back up basic files that will rarely get accessed in a failure only scenario. Or in case I want to change a raid array and need to backup the files on them. Just like any hdd there is a risk of data loss or corruption. 130mb peak transfers, being 12tb the density is high which gives you faster read/write but slower seek times. It seems to be serving it's purpose well, I added mine to a wifi switch so I can turn it off when not in need of it via my echo. The less it spins the longer it may last, with the faster read write it may be a good fit for game backup on a ps4 or xbox. There are anecdotal evidence on the net these are WD Nas Red drives, which have a very high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) rating. If that is the case the drive may be a good choice for shucking but you would void your warranty. I have not opened mine as of this review to examine, but now that I do plan on keeping it I will more than likely in the future.

Works well with my laptop. Only time will tell if it continues to do so.

Only had it a short time, but so far working well.

3 dozen EasyStores (over 2-4 years). 8-12tbs and all still going strong

it did what it was supposed to do, it stored files, and a lot of them...

Solid basic drive, fast speeds and reliable. Currently a little pricey.

Great item. Ideal for saving anything from your desktop computer for a backup.

This drive is a beast! I picked this up to run my Plex Media Server from my Nvidia Shield Pro. I can store a crazy amount of movies, TV shows, and music on this drive. WD always makes great products. I've never had issues with them. You can't go wrong!

All's good, especially since this was on sale! I've partitioned this drive into three 4TB chunks, and that works well for me. I've only used it for less than a month... My previous WD external drives have lasted years, and I have every reason to expect that this one will too!
