Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using this 14TB HDD for 1 year so I can give some comments on the product. So far I had no technical errors or recognition issues around various situations like backing up large amount of data from laptops and desktop PCs. Of course no idea on if I can use this one as cloud storage because I never tried but I can recommend this one as a back up storage for sure when the price falls into reasonable range.

Monster hard drive for a great price. When you need 14TB of storage and don't want to split it up among multiple drives, this giant drive is just what the doctor ordered.

What can I say? This is the 10th WD external I have purchased for my photo storage at my photo studio - beginning with a measley 4tb and progressively larger storage until reaching this awesome 14TB! They all pretty much work the same - never had a single problem with any of them. Got it on sale there - can't beat the price!

I have owned this device for about a month now and this external hard drive is easy to hookup and operate. I am satisfied with this item because it stores all my music file and backs up all of my production software DAW'S effortlessly. I recommend this product for musician that are into producing their own music through DAWS "Music studio software" it is important to have a 14T drive to store your music files because music files takes up an awful lot of space alone and especially if you are doing both video and music productions like myself. I give this product a 10 or better rating. superb drive. I have the Bestbuy service support team to thank for this product. Thank you for allowing me to purchase this awesome product. again Thank You for you're impeccable service :-)

The newest WD easystore 14TB cases contain a WD White Label WD140EDFZ. Excellent buy when on sale to be shucked and used internally or for other purposes. Opening these cases is exactly like the previous generation. Plenty of instruction videos on YouTube.

A stellar hard drive! Obviously, lots of space! I have never had a Western Digital Hard Drive fail... I know it will happen one day, but so far I have owned or bought for others 14, in the last 20 years and zero failures. My Seagates I've had 8 failures! I always double and triple back up everything for that very reason!

Come on! Its 14TB! If you're buying this you surely have some use case for it right? USB 3.0 but not the fastest on the block. Very acceptable though and did I mention 14TBs? If you want speed look at the G Drive line but this is acceptable and well, 14TBs. Wait for the sale!

I’ve had this drive running constantly for a month now, and have had no problems. One thing to note, it seems to run a little hot, averaging at 47 C and going up to 55 C. While I wouldn’t say it’s worth the regular price of $420, if you can get it under $250 it’s a great deal.

Great spacious hdd. I bought 4 of these, removed the hdds (WD White Label Drives) and put them in my WD Ex4100 NAS. They worked without having to modify anything. Currently have them Running in Raid 1+0 (28TB available). They are quiet but not as quiet as my WD Red Drives I previously had in the WD ex4100 NAS.

The hard drive was an excellent product. Performs very well, easy to format for my computer and is very very fast. There was some issues in the Best Buy pickup. The texting message software for outside pickup crashed. Took over two hours and multiple phone calls to get the product delivered to the car. Final solution was hailing down a store delivery person in the parking lot. He was very responsive and brought out the product right away.

I've bought a few of these now for a project and they all work quite well. Its interesting to see the variations in the AC adapters but universally, these drives just work and can store a ton of darta. When doing a lot of write operations, temps climb to the mid-upper 40s C but idle it rests right in the mid 30s.

Shipping was really fast but arrived DOA. That sucked! WD tech support was fast and confirmed it was DOA: simply said return to seller. Bestbuy tech support was fast to say I could bring to local store and swap. Did that and got a functional unit. 14TB drive works as expected so far. Great drive for the price. :-)

Great portable hard drive, plenty of storage to back everything up. I've had a few of these over the years and they seem to be pretty reliable.

In pursuit of trying to lessen the amount of external hard drives that I have on my workspace, I ended up buying this hard drive. It was very easy to use out of the box and provided the right amount of space that I needed to back up all of my files.

I have used these as intended as external drives for years without problems with multiple sizes. However, like many I also have shucked these for a decent deal on a new large format drive. Know that you are voiding the warranty if using as an internal drive, but for some use cases it is worth it. These 14TB drives were picked up on sale and are much cheaper than an equivalent internal unit. After a quick removal they install as a standard SATA drive and format easily.

As a hard drive itself, it presents itself as very reliable. However, if I had one problem with it, it would be that it goes to sleep too quickly, and comes out of sleep too slow. This is in comparison to other hard drives that I've had in the past. Other hard drives I've used 10 to start up from sleep in about 5 to 10 seconds, whereas this one is somewhere between 15 and 30, although, at 14 terabytes, I might expect to trade some access speed for reliability. As such, it's only a minor inconvenience. I tried connecting it to my Netgear router via the USB 3.0, and it crashed my internet connection on my phone and PC; my smart TVs remained up for some reason but I couldn't get the drive to reliably connect to either of them. But while connected to the computer itself, there is no interruption of service until it goes to sleep. Overall, very good for the price.

Chose this drive because it had large capacity and came with excellent reviews. WD has always made good drives. I needed an external drive that acted as a 2nd backup to my home server. with 14TB, I will have plenty of room to safekeep my valuable music, photo, and personal files.

This my second WD easystore 14TB external HD and I also have two of the easystore 8TB external HD and it has been very reliable so far. I use it on my MacBook Pro to back up my Mac and to store my digital RAW files and videos for business.

Got two during Black Friday for my Synology DS920+. Was easy to shuck after referring to YouTube videos. Be aware there is a pin issue with some of the drives you may get. Again, refer to YouTube videos. Fortunately I had no issues. YMMV.

Massive hard drive storage at a great price. Bought this 14Tb version for $189.99 during Black Friday as a master backup for all my cell photos and videos and older scanned photos. Not sure even this one will hold them all. All of my drives have been WD, have never had an issues with them. Bought at least 15- 20 over the last 30yrs. With the advent of lower price and increased storage capacities, why not.
