Great amount of storage hour a great price. A lot of room for life

I have several of the easystore external hard drives have not used this one yet. good price

Perfect solution for the gamer that doesn’t want to take all of the space up on their laptop.

High quality, fast drive. I do wish WD would just get rid of the old connector. This should be USB-C

Hard drive runs reliably as expected. No issues on setup. Price was excellent and will buy again.

Used to the brand, the housing is a bit big but love the size fo the storage for the price.

You know what they're for. Get it on sale. Only drawback is all the waste vs a bare drive but they are more expensive.

Works as it should. Although an SSD would be better if they were cheaper but this works just fine.

Excellent Deal for NAS drives, RUnning 24/7 in synology no issues

This is a great accessory to backup my computer and phone.

You can't beat this price for such a large enterprise quality drive inside. Ive had very good luck with the easystores.

Very spacious HDD, a little large but not big issue. I am using it constantly and never had any issues so far.

Connected to Synology NAS and gets read/write speeds between 160-170Mbps

It does seem to turn on, and instantly report that 14TB means 12.7TB, which is common market terminology I just didn't know that. Just learn to buy 1.1 times the size you want. Best Buy tacked on a $50 loss policy I didn't mean to include, and there's no apparent way to return the policy, just return the whole thing. I specifically asked for and was told this disk can be encrypted, but no apparent option exists to do that. WD security says "connect a compatible drive". I downloaded acronis, to no help. Under "how do I protect my computer", it tells me I'm protected. This disk is wide open to anyone with a USB, and my hard drive is open to anyone who wants to plug it in. I tried exploring some things, and one of the first things it wanted was for me to choose the format type, and I have no idea what type. I thought about trying to back up my computer, but it doesn't seem obvious how to do that either, and if I find out how to encrypt something, it will probably wipe it out anyway and refuse to setup as a new disk. If you know more about computers than the people that sell them, you don't need my recommendation to know if this disk will work for you. If not, I can't tell you it will do anything secure. I think if you don't care who can read your files, this is probably pretty good. For me, I won't put my files on there until I figure out how to secure it, so it's a paperweight until further notice.

This is my 4th WD 14TB drive from BestBuy. I recommended this to a family member who bought 3 more.

Usb 3 connection makes transferring files like the drive was an internal drive. Quiet operation.

Been working thus far, not my primary backup. Disk spins really hard every once in a while and when standing upright, shakes pretty bad. Have it lying on it's side now and doing better.

It's a black external hard drive. It's quiet. it stores data. I've never had any issues from it

Got exactly what i payed for. Great price on sale.

This hard drive works based on the expectations i was needed.
