Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this product as it has freed up so much space on my laptop and now, I have all my photos and videos in one place.

Bought two to have back up, all the files are the same on both, I did that save important photos and videos, and I got two in case one fails, they work perfect, and haven't had a problem with either one of them yet, I've had them for several years now

I got this external drive for an amazing deal. I pretty much use it as a NAS by connecting it to my router. I have been using it for backup purposes for over a year and it's still working great.

Plenty of room to backup your files. However, be informed that the backup app that comes with this device is outdated. I almost return the product because I thought it was defective. I had to contact WD for help. It turns out you have to install Acronis from their website for the backup app. Once it's installed, I had no problem with the device.

It's a large, inexpensive, portable hard drive. it comes shipped with WD's crapware, which is annoying, but you can delete it easily enough. It will work exactly as expected and fits the price.

Excellent value external HD. Massive 14 TB of storage for a very good price. Cost per TB is likely the lowest to be found. Highly recommend.

Great for storing lots of data. Has been reliably working so far. I've stored all my pictures and media in it. Read and write speeds are good.

I've have not had a WD die one me. I hope this one lasts as long. On sale, it is hard to beat. Just know that WD has not adopted MS calculation of storage so the storage will show up at 12.7 TB and it is not a mistake. FYSA.

12.7 tb total available storage. I got this on sale, you can't beat that. It seems solid to me. I have 3 other WD products never had any issues.

Easy to use. Plug in, format and store files. Works well as media storage for Plex server. Files stream with no issues even using usb.

WD makes the best hard drives hands down. While i love the ssd drives for the fact they are silent, with no moving parts, hi capacity isnt available yet in the range of 10 TB or more. As a pro photographer i need 30=tb plus at a minimum, and use redundant backups for my hd drives, and will always look for the black or red label series as the most reliable drives. Over the years, i had many other brand drives fail, to the point i wont buy any product that features them, cheap drives cost you more in the long run, loosing valuable data.

I use this as my holy grail of backup for my games,movies, software everything. Great product an love there wd server hard drives too. Besides that my kids played around my shelf and it fell 5 ft. Thought oh man grr. ....nope case snapped back in place hd still works no glitches. As a IT engineer i put alot of trust in western digital product for a reason. Ill buy another later with more storage.

This hard drive is great. I use it as my storage for my Xbox one games. It’s super easy to setup and allows for tons of games to be stored.

easy to use and setup. I've had other smaller drives, this is the perfect drive to back up my projects, and other data.

So much space , 14 TB for a great price! Im able to safely store my files and this was easy to use.

I needed an archive backup drive when we were having newtork and server connectivity issues. I connected the new drive and it was immediately recognized. Backups and transfers go smoothly. This is well worth the money if your aren't into putting your valuable data up on "The Cloud". Capacity of 14 Tb is probably more than you'll ever need but that's what Bill Gates said about 20 Mb hard drives 40 years ago.

This thing is just as advertised; nearly 14 TB of capacity. It's a bit slow (it's likely a WD blue drive inside), but this shouldn't be your every day access anyway, especially with how it will occupy a power plug. I'm using it for archival backups that I plan on performing every year; my everyday backup is still a WD 4TB (which ironically is now the same price as a 5TB, sad face), and that performs way faster with the smaller form factor, and doesn't need a power supply.

At $199, this is a great price/per TB deal for a drive that is quick and not too loud.

Nice storage size and easy to setup. Works well hooked up to a raspberry pi for a home NAS

Large capacity drive, great for tons of backups. WD reliability
