Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the massive 12TB size. It’s got a USB 3.0 connection. I switched from Seagate hard drives to Western Digital after having failures with Seagate. WD drives have never failed me!

Needed to back up photos, important docs, music files, and DVDs. Found the trusted WD-easystore 12TB on sale at a great price . Very user-friendly to set up

WD has always worked wonders. Have never had a drive fail on me unless they are many years old and run 24 hous a day. The drive inside this unit is a WD Red drive meaning it is made to be left on 24 hous a day. Designed for servers. In other wordfs, built to last.

So far, so good. I'm giving the five stars as a provisional rating based mostly on ease of use and speed. Haven't had it in use long enough to know how reliable/durable it is or how well warranty service might go, but it was plug and play and suits my needs nicely.

As a photographer, I use a lot of storage. The last time I built a computer, I installed a pair of 4TB disks (1 as an archive and 1 with edit versions of the files.) At the time, I was shooting with a 20 Mpix camera. Now, I use a 50 Mpix camera, and storage is getting tight. Instead of replacing my existing internal drives, I decided to add external storage. So far, this WD Drive has been fine. It runs quiet and cool, and it is not significantly slower than my internal drives on read, and only about 50% slower on write. I’ve owned WD drives in the past and have always found them to be reliable. I’ve removed 1 star because their is no power switch.

Works great & a great price. This Hard drive worked right out of the box. I chose to wipe it & format for my needs. Coming from the days of when a hard drive was HUGE at 150 Megabytes to now having a 12TB hd... My mind is blown...

Lots of storage and at a great. I've stored my complete music library, family videos, pictures, documents and phone back up on this drive and still have almost 11TB to work with.

This thing is a beast! So much storage easy to hook up and does not put off much heat. Thinking of buying a second one for back up because the price was so great!

When purchased at a sale price, it's a very good value proposition, especially for those with interest in removing the casing. Unlike past models, no additional modification or kapton tape is required to continue enjoying its use.

I bought this on sale, so it was a great price. I was able to back up my tower computer and 3 laptops, and still have room for much more.

Needed more space for my Plex server, this for the bill. Not too expensive and I like the reliability of Western Digital. I've bought this brand many times and have never had a failure. Highly recommend.

I'm involved in many technical graphic reports, videos, and images that need to be stored and found quickly. A 12 TB drive is exactly what I needed for storage. It hooked up without any problems and I put it to work immediately to access all my graphics files now in separate folders easy to find and reference. I'd recommend this item to anyone like myself that is a bit worried about cloud privacy and instead is looking for a secure home available high storage capacity device.

This was a great addition to my storage solutions and the amount space you get for the price is amazing. The indexing software that come was a neat little add-on and definitely speeds up searches with the ability to save them to collections.

Work great. A lot of storage to consolidate and back-up several computers. Hoping to get all my photos on it and get them sorted out and duplicates identifies. Good price and I have had excellent experience with Western Digital over the years.

This 12 TB Drive have worked flawlessly for several weeks now. I’ve loaded onto this drive several laptop and desktops’ files so they are in one place. Very impressive HD space.

Got these to expand my NAS storage. Been working almost non stop ever since so 2 years no problems. Got them on sale for 15/tb so a good deal.

The WD EasyStore 12TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive was my choice and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. The drive is hefty, but it's not designed to be portable like a pocket USB external drive.

Easy to use and great price for a big hard drive capacity

Easy software install. Allows for large amounts of photos and video as well as any type of files. I currently have almost 290,000 photos from over the years. Easy to schedule your backup on a daily basis. Great purchase.

I use this to store my media. Couldn't be happier with the performance. Easy to set up and easy to use, works efficiently. Highly recommended.
