    Cheap storage with poor cooling

    Cheap external storage with so so quality. I don't feel they cool these drives properly. I had one fail after a year and a half for no apparent reason other than they run hot with little cooling. Everyone raves about these because of the low cost but I wouldn't trust it for important file storage long term.

    I love the WD Easystore series drives. They work great for NAS systems once they are shucked. You can re-use the enclosure as well.

    I'm not sure if I received a bad batch. But I've had to delete and reformat this twice already while having it. I'm hoping that this isnt a regular occurrence. I'm using it for my backbook pro, but it wont always mount correctly on hard drive.

    Got this on sale for substantially less than comparable drives. Worked fine for a couple weeks. One night the power went out. When i restaryed the computer the drive had disappeared. Troubleshooting for hours didn't help. Had to return it for a replacement.

    I highly recommend this harddrive. It is very fast, faster than other harddrives in its class. I am so impressed. I have this drive connected to my router and i can access data seamlessly with a wifi 6 connection.

    As hard drives keep getting & Bigger we need the space for our 4K Videos from our drones & GoPro's. Luckily as they get bigger storage I can somehow manage to fill them up. Works great & love the more storage!

    This external drive was just what I was looking for. It allowed me to back up several of my different data bases to one place. When I need more external space I will again look at a WD Easystore again.

    Wow! I own many WD Easystore drives and was thrilled to see a 14TB drive...and at such a great price. I highly recommend these drives; especially if you have large amounts of data that needs to be backed up.
