Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very nice, quiet, massive storage for the $. I like to archive a great many things, obviously, and this helps me to do it. This way, if someone 'borrows' something & you don't get it back, you've got it here.

I'm a fan of WD. I have three of them in 24x7x365 use. I've had very few fail over thirty years of using them. I've tried other brands, but for me, WD has been the most reliable for spinning drives. (I don't own a WD, or SanDisk SSD.) But this 14TB drive is now being repaired (in Windows 10) for the fourth time (actually that just finished and I am now checking it again). I don't trust it. I will get a replacement (I hope), and I hope it works better. A few hours after I got this, I started to copy data from an 8TB Elements that was running out of space. It failed after about 30 hours (and I cooled both drives, the 8TB WD Elements and this 14TB one with small CPU fans the whole time). After that first transfer failure, I connected it to a Windows machine (it's formatted NTFS OOB). Speccy showed that it had 144 hours on it. Who put the first 114 hours, or so, on it? I connected it to another Linux box to copy files after the second failure having it connected to the server that it's supposed to be on. It failed on that box for the third and fourth times. The 8TB WD Elements has never had any trouble (it replaced a piece-of-garbage Seagate 8TB that was as much trouble as this new drive has been). Another odd thing is that it makes what sounds like a double or triple seek every three seconds, or every five seconds apparently depending on how full it is and which machine it is connected-to, when it's idle and connected to any machine, as required for it to be powered-up. I haven't heard that kind of thing on an idle drive for a couple of decades, at least. Others have reported this as well. They explain that WD says it's normal, and not a symptom of trouble. (Did Seagate secretly buy WD????) As I wrote this, I checked it with Windows (10) Error Checking for the fifth time, and waited for that to complete. I'm happy (but not relieved) to say that this time, no errors were found.

Im using this for my photo archives. Not the fastest but suits my need.

Great deal on huge memory. Heavy video users should consider this one.

Working fine now (1 Month). Will revise when I see longetivity

Great item, not the best time to buy HDDs the cost ls are up 30%

Was a very good gift to my husband who needs it for store info

Works as expected. Extra storage when you need it.

Great Hard Drive, and very efficient. I would recommend it to anyone.

WORKS GREAT.GREAT PRODUCT.WOULD BUY AGAIN.!!!!!!!!

I like WD products. The only negative is you loose over 15% of the disk space after formatting. What's up with that?? (ha ha)
