Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed an external Harddisk for my storage needs and this one is the best priced in 14TB category. Have been using this day to day for almost an year without any issues.

This is perfect for me since I like to edit videos and use photoshop which the files can become quite large, although it did start making noise within the first couple of weeks... but so far its still working.

I have waited more than almost 1 year before writing this review. This is one of the best decisions I made buying this product. Just last week, my computer hard drive crashed. Thankfully I have saved all my data in this external hard drive. You can't beat the price for a 14T. I didn't even know that 14T of external hard drive exists. Well, it's been a great product. Never had any issues with it and it's fast in loading data and also retrieving data from it is smooth.

This device has worked great. I was using Google for backup of my photos from my disc array since I had a 2 user business account and no limit on storage. It would back a couple of times during the middle of the night. Then Göogle changed their mind and cut back their storage to 5TB per user and couldn’t joint users. So I had to do some unloading. It took quite a few days but I got most of it off of Google (at least below their limit). This has been a great product and plenty large enough so far. It’s quiet.

It's a Western Digital Easystore hard drive. Not much more needs be said. These are good, relatively cheap hard drives. Yes, it's still a spinner, but that's okay when you want massive amounts of storage.

I bought this on a Black Friday special price. It was exactly what I was looking for. I'm using it with a DS418J Synology NAS. I had no problems getting it to work. So far so good. Would recommend.

I will preface this review with the following statement: "I am old." My first computer had a 110 MB hard drive, which at the time I considered to be a lot of disk space. Fast forward ~28 years. It's amazing that you could have such a ridiculous amount of storage at such an affordable price. 14TB is a lot of disk space. It is a scary amount of disk space. Imagine all the data you can lose if this were to crash. That's why I use it to store large files in which I don't necessarily have any vested emotional interest. It is perfect for holding all those Linux distros. Give it a little room to breathe, and blow the dust out of it every once in a while and it should last for years to come.

Excellent price. Perfect storage solution for photos and videos. This external hard drive is quiet but you might hear a click from the spinning hard drive depending on the surface you set it on.

I have 3 14tb drives. I actually just purchased my third one just a few minutes before writing this review. Great drives and I would highly recommend them for any that want speed and plenty of space, along with reliability.

Super easy to use. No need to install extra software. Plug and play, at least on windows. I did end up installing the WD software though just to keep my drives from falling asleep and to turn the blinking lights off.

These drives are excellent, I've had some of them running 24/7 for the past 5 years without failure. Very reasonably priced.

Been using WD external hard drives for years now and like the high storage capacity as well as the easy to set up (one power cord, one USB). Great value for the storage. Good for backing up media.

This drive stores a lot. It took 5 DAYS to do a full format (this gives the drive a good workout and reduces chances of early death taking your data with it). It did not overheat. The USB3 interface seems slow but that could be the 10TB I'm moving from a nearly full 12TB version. I think this is the best value for the 2020 holidays.

Works fast and efficient with lots of free space on the drive.

Using it as a home for our yearbook photos. 30 Students are using this as the storage place for the photos they take for our yearbook and I can say that this is working great. Instead of buying a number of smaller drives with the bigger files with our new cameras, this has become the best solution for our needs. No, drive conflicts, tons of space and fast enough for our needs. We're not editing videos and it's purely for photos and it is great.

Looking to back up my laptop hard drive. Compare this to other brands price and space and this is the best value by far!

I have had much better luck with Western Digital spinning hard than others, so I am pretty loyal to that brand. I needed a replacement for a backup RAID drive that, after a number of years and lots of use, failed to stay powered on. When this WD drive became available at a holiday season price, I jumped on it and I haven’t been disappointed. It’s a bit barebones as you will have to provide your own backup software or download some from WD’s site, but, at the price, this has proved to be a good, fast, thus-far-reliable device. There isn’t much you can say about any HDD beyond “it works as expected and was priced well,” and I am happy to be able to say that about this one.

Got this on black Friday, was really cheap, Shucked the drive *removed the drive inside* and installed into my media server, works great, tho a little noisy from vibrations. its a great thing.

Great value, earlier units of the same model I've purchased have had no problems, not the fastest drive I've used but it does not appear to be SMR, if raw speed's not vital this is a great pick!

Easy, fast install, good amount of storage for the price.
