I would recommend this to a friend Won't stay mounted
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well when mounted. When my Mac goes to sleep, WD - easytore eithers 1) won't mount automatically 2) mounted but folders are empty. I have to restart the Mac to fix the issue. - I tried reformatting the drive APFS and MacOS Extended (Journaled) formats - I installed the latest version of the WD apps - I read articles about similar issues I had to return the product as I ran out options for troubleshooting.

12-24mo Lifespan for $$$ Item
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've purchased many of the EasyStore line over the past several years. The production quality is just in freefall. I'm on this page looking for a new HDD to replace this item which is making an imminent-death warning clicking noise and the banner at the top of the page says I bought it May of last year. Completely unacceptable lifespan for a $200 product.

I would recommend this to a friend Needs more power than USB provided
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great so far. Just requires external power source to work Would’ve been nice for it to be power from USB but I guess that can’t be done

Exactly what you'd expect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as designed. Large capacity and can be removed from the plastic case for internal use.
I would recommend this to a friend For Windows users it is 12TB not 14.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unlike WD's competitors they haven't adopted Microsoft's standard in how they measure a terabyte. Because of this you're actually getting less than what you paid for & I strongly recommend not paying full price for any WD's storages because of this. It is NOT 14TB it is 12.7. Measuring 1kilobyte as 1000 bytes instead of 1024 may not seem like much but it adds up especially when the prices are compared to WD's competitors which you'll get what you actually paid for.
