Great cheap easy to confifure; the lack of an on off switch is weird

Works great! It's a white label NAS drive inside. Was able to easily shuck it from the case & use it in my computer as internal storage. Just make sure you run the WD Tool test on the drive to see if it's in perfect working condition before you shuck it! With a drive this big, it will take many hours, but it's worth it to know if you got a bad drive or not. Ideally its best to connect it to a spare PC & run the WD Tool test there so you can still use your main PC.

Got this one a deal on Bestbuy and it’s really great for the storage. Light weighted and easy to access.

I use this as a local backup attached to my NAS (which also backs up to the cloud). Works great, no complaints in the two years I've had it so far. But it on sale, though. Never pay full price for hard drives.

Easy to install, software included, huge space for the price. I almost missed this deal. So glad I didn't. I have used Western Digital since the good ole HDD days. They've served me well and that's why I'm sticking with this brand.

WD easystore/elements have treated me well with 10 drives varying from 8tb-14tb. I've used them all to shucc successfully. This particular 14tb drive has been performing good for me and did not require the sata pin modification. The hard drive inflation is the only negative unfortunately as this drive would normally be $100 cheaper on a regular, deep sale. I did use the 15% coupon for WD recycle and save so that did help offset the price increase a bit.

Excellent device and pretty compact! 14TB and look at the size! Also it's WD so the speed of writing and reading is quite good

A Very Nice Portable Drive. I have 3 Easystore Portable Drives, 2TB, 5TB and this 14TB drive. I find they work great for my purposes. I'm not a knowledgeable computer person when it comes to 'drive speeds', etc., but I know these Easystore drives are easy to use and are fast enough for my Audiobooks, Photographs, Movies and PC back-up needs. For me, the Price was right as well. I would recommend these drives for all computer users.

Like many, these are bought to shuck which in this case was a WD white. Hoping for a red. At this point you are getting a quality WD drive you can either use as purchased or shucked for the drive. The sale price was great so overall a 5 star with a little tarnish for white vs. red.

Great drive, use them in a raid array and for backups. Drives are a good price per meg when on sale

Great product, packaged carefully, works as expected, value priced.

It is an excellent external hard drive, massive capacity and is very quick. Very affordable for the data capacity.

I needed a larger hard drive for my video server, I chose the Western Digital 14TB drive for its capacity & great price.

Great product. It is easy to use and has a great amount of storage capacity with a great price.

Using this with a brand new mac studio and it has been very nice to keep my internal ssd free for the more important apps and other data that i want to be able to access very quickly. Being an external hard drive, it greatly affects the speed which data can be accessed, but it has served its purpose for me. The only complaint is the noise. When writing to the disc, it gets quite noisy, but this is not a deal breaker for me.

I’m a long time WD buyer, although with these drives I hate how they have taken away or stopped using their SmartWare software to backup files. You gotta use 3rd party stuff, which isn’t as user friendly. Otherwise it does the job.

Love these drives. Plenty of storage and I got a great price. I definitely recommend this for anyone needing extra storage.

Item is good to store videos and pictures. Easy to use and transfer.

Big boy external hard drive. My biggest yet. I am used to smaller, quicker hard drives, but I needed to house some media and transfer a few other hard drive's data. I did that, and I still have 77% space left. I still have much to do with data transfer but I am sure this juggernaut will be able to handle it.

after reading so so reviews,i tested speeds and use it with my xbox x.i was concerned over the 5500 rpm vs 7500 that it would be slow,its white label with 5500 rpm.transfer speed rates 515-600 mps in copying.plays games off hard drive for xbox one x scorpio 4k...very quiet i cant hear it run,and reviews of getting hot are false-it transferred nonstop for a day(9 t worth of files) and was just normal warm...got ir for 199.00
