Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've shucked quite a few drives from these easystores. Buy them when they are discounted and you've got a great storage drive. They are usually hellium drives with white label.

I purchased this as part of a great sale. Used it 4 two weeks. Did some rearranging of stuff, it tipped over on it's side and it stopped working. I have another WD 14Tb drive which I've been using to store alot of my DVDs. I disconnected it and boxed it up for when I need it

So far as so good with these drives. I buy them to use as backup drives and keep them offline and in a secure location when not in use. Great capacity but over all they are slow when compared to other drives.

I needed something like this to consolidate files from multiple devices, so I grabbed this when it went on sale. While it did the job, since I had gotten used to SSD drives, this drive seemed excruciatingly slow. If you've got the time to spare and don't want to pay the big bucks for a high-capacity SSD drive, this could be a good choice.

Bought prior to black Friday but still got a great deal on it.

Easy to install and simple to use. I have several .

Fast and efficient. Huge capacity includes backup software

WD - easystore 12TB External works like it should my only gripe is the formatting. The larger the drive the more usable capacity you lose. I only gained one tb of capacity over a 10 tb drive I already owned.

I bought one online January 22nd and did not open it up right away. So when I did the drive was defective. So I need to send it for warranty repair, frustrating but my fault for not opening it up right away. I sent it out on April 2nd and now after several calls to support they are telling me they will NOT warranty the drive now! So if you but this product be prepared if you need warranty support you will not get it. I have bought Western Digital Drives for years and have never had so many problems with getting a BRAND NEW drive repaired under warranty!! You have been warned, DO NOT BUY!!!!!

I am using this one to save my research data. For one and half years, it has been working well. Please try to buy this one. Best external hdd among the similar-price ones.

I upgraded from a few 4 TB hard drives to this unit and to free those up. Transfer rates are fine and I can store all my records, data and photos / videos in one unit and keep it offsite. I got it when Best Buy put it on sale !!

Hard Drive - Black - Amazon.com I gave this drive 5 stars because it works great. It's fast and easy to use. However, I was a little disappointed because this is supposed to be a 12TB drive and there was only 10.9TB available on it. I was so surprised that I looked at the box to be sure that they sent the right one.

I bought this when on sale and at the time it was a great deal on a large external drive. It has worked fine for the past month or so, but as with many hard drives, it may take a year or more to see any failures.

I’d drive reliability is important, stick to Western Digital. Data centers that use tens of thousands of drives have compared the reliability of various brands and Western Digital (and their sister company Hitachi) come out on top.

ONLY THING WINDOWS ONLY RECOGNIZE 11TB GOOD STORAGE

Works great......,...........used for my Synology NAS.

I have had good luck with these drives in my server. The server is kept in a cool area in close proximity to seven other WD drives, with a 80mm fan blowing directly on them.

I do a lot of recording of videos, and I don't want to have everything on my computer. Some of my videos are 5 hours and it can load to the external hard drive less than 4 minutes.

False advertisement on equipped drives. 5400 rpm and NOT 7200 rpm as advertised. WD is ripping customers off by selling lower grade quality drives.

I bought this on a Black Friday sale in 2018. So to be fair, I have been using it for 1 year and a few months as a backup drive. But I have Lacie drives that have lasted me over 5 years without issue. Maybe I am lucky with the Lacie drives or the backup software put this WD drive through a lot of pressure. Anyways, after this time, the drive is grinding pretty badly now and it's slower than usual. Meaning it's going to stop working and some of the data in the drive maybe lost because of plate damage. Even thou it has been good, my three stars is base on its longevity. Even thou two bills doesn't seem like a lot, it's a lot when we are going thru the covid situation and still no secure jobs and having to replace a failing drive a little over a year's time is always a hassle.
