    Hard drive worked well for archiving important information being transferred into digital format. No problems to be reported though start-up vibration is somewhat pronounced.

    Exceptional quality external drives right here and when they go on sale, the price per GB is on par with the best you'll find anywhere else. WD is the top of the line for PCs and it's no different with their Easy Store external line

    First it’s more like 13TB and second it’s the loudest drive I’ve ever owned. It’s so loud that it’s distracting. I have two external Seagate drives that are quiet as can be. Not super impressed with this. That being said, it works for my purposes and I got it on sale.

    Fast drive, connected it to the USB port on my router and we can access it from our local network devices. Never used remote access with our old one, so didn't want or need one that does that.

    Decent if you have an older computer (2020 or older), and does have a ton of storage. It doesn’t feel like the most durable drive. Would only consider this a “backup of backups” drive as it doesn’t feel like it would survive that long. Slower data transfer speeds than newer external HDs like GDrive/Lacie. Super slow compared to external SSDs.

    USB 3.0 it's great and perfect for backing up my IMac. I have a 16TB version and they are fast and responsive. A must have for any disaster recovery.

    I’m using this as backup drive for my Windows based computer. It works pretty well for this purpose with tons of space. If I had one complaint it is it can be noisier than previous WD external drives I have bought. It makes a light “thunk” sound periodically. Otherwise it has been running fine for the past couple months.

    Works well right out of the box on my PC without the need to format. The drive is fairly quiet and isn't loud when reading or writing files. I got it on sale during the holiday sales but I wouldn't buy at regular price.
