    Very quiet and amazing speed, more than 120mgts, I was not expecting that speed compared to other drives I bought in the past. . Very good for backups

    I bought two of these on sale, and it was a good deal. When I plugged them in, they computer had a hard time recognizing them. They finally settled down and now serve my music on my HTPC. Extremely quiet!

    Been using this Ext. for storing pictures, videos - which I would stream to Pc or TVs. So far the performance is good, have only used about 50GB thus far. The only issue I'm having is that at random times the Ext. would disconnect and not be readable on Pc or any of the TVs, the white light will stay blinking indefinitely. This does not happen all the time but is annoying. The read speeds are decent, take a couple of seconds to load thumbnails when browsing through the library- making me have to wait for the drive to catch up before scrolling down. So far it's alright, nothing special

    Best place to jumpstart having the current highest non industrial consumer memory bank. Worth the price for how much space you will have and almost never use up, unless you are using it as a console external hard drive (looking at you Warzone). If you want more memory by 2 or go pay for a subscription to the cloud or something, otherwise this is one of the best options available so far that ive found.

    Okay but not too easy to use. Not a bad product for a good price. Wait until Black Friday, usually they go for a decent price.

    I purchased three of these and two failed. Luckily could move everything off but extremely time consuming and frustrating. We reformatted but I don't trust them with anything vital. Something about the 14TB. No problem with the 16TB.

    It is loud and vibrates. I'm not sure if they are all like that or if I got one that has this issue. Otherwise, can't beat the price per TB.

    I have had several of these and in my experience 1 in every 10 comes out of the box DOA. It is a good idea to run a slow format right out of the box to stress test it. If it takes a good slow format, then it should be fine.

    Would have given 5 stars but 1) the utilities program doesn't work with Win7 and 2) startup and shutdown times have increased quite a bit. Otherwise, a nice Black Friday price for a lot of backup space.

    I got WD140EDGZ from this. Linux smartctl indicates they are helium-filled, 7200rpm drives. I don't know the cache size, though.
