Customer Ratings & Reviews

Copies fast using USB 3.0 but also works on USB 2. Decent amount of storage in a single external unit. I use this as an offline and offsite backup so only connect it to my PC when I need to run a back up. I primarily keep documents, files for software under development and photos on it, all of which are way to much for cloud storage. If I leave the house for more than a day I take this with me - very convenient, just unplug and go.

Good value, solid performance for the price. It’s not the fastest thing on the market, but it is great value.

The eternal drives works very good so far no real issues. It's very useful to store my many files, videos, and pictures for safe keeping.

Have 4 of these to store my Chia plots. Quick and reliable storage for a good price.

Great performance and works as expected. Good price

Awesome easy to install and good sale price..Would highly recommend..Tons of storage

Reliable, easy to use storage system. I've always found the Western Digital to be a quality product

Great External Hard Drive for the price. Works really well to store large files.

Huge storage capacity, works great so far. Speed is acceptable and not too loud. Using as a back up for multiple devices and security cam video.

12TB seems like infinite storage right now as I have had this since about half a year and it is half full. I use it for video and photo back up. It is a little too slow to use as the main drive for Final Cut Pro, for example, but makes an excellent back up drive for those big files that quickly crowd on storage space on you computer.

Great product Lots of space Awesome for editing and be safe Recommended

Excellent extra hard drive. Lots of space & plug & play!

Western Digital does it again. Highly recommend portable storage I haven't had a WD fail me yet. Heating is manageable in the shroud with constant use for the 4 hours I was writing files. Not a problem with propping it on top of PC, just don't put it over the radiator portion. Had to ding value since these drives have had a sudden spike in price due to the Chia fiasco.

I’ve already had a couple of these WD external drives for several years - another 12T and an older 8TB. Both have performed flawlessly so I had no qualms about adding another. They’re reasonably fast for an external spinning drive and super easy to set up. And the back-up software already installed is also easy to use to back up my whole PC daily.

Excellent capacity and value, especially on Deal of the Day!

It holds far more than my current hard drives and has a really easy way of accessing the data. Great value

I purchased this after a different brand hard drive failed after only three uses (to replace a dying drive from the same brand that started failing after only two years of use). My first Western Digital only recently started going out after 10+ years of use, so I thought I would try my luck with them again. I was not disappointed. Cons: A little bit bulky. Easystore requires an outlet to plug into. It is a little bit noisy, but nothing major. Pros: Easystore contains a LOT of storage (Advertised as 12TB, but the actual is closer to 10.6, which is still a great amount.) I work in video and transfer a lot of video and mp3 files to my device, and it seems to transfer over at a faster speed than other devices I've had. And it kept working after three uses. Due to the cords, I recommend keeping the box it arrived in to keep device safe and easier to put away.

These WD Easystore drives are very dependable and come in large capacities. While not exactly designed for this purpose, I use them for my NAS box. For the price, it is hard to beat the value. Especially if you can catch them on sale.

Works perfect, great storage option, not loud, runs just like it should

Great hard drive! I love Western Digital's reliability and value!
