Customer Ratings & Reviews

Seems great and intended. I connected to my router so that i can store files and access it from all my other devices. If you move the hard drive left /right it makess sound .. might be of fan, I am not sure. Seems good at the price.

Best Bang for the buck. Rule of thumb, grab them when they go on sale for $199. This makes the cost per terabyte under $15, which is the sweet spot. I've purchased one for each family member to have them hookup to their computers as dedicated backup drives so I have less to worry about.

The price of this hard drive was great due to sale and the recycle coupon / discount offered by Best Buy. I ran the WD tests on it and it passed so I hooked it up and started using it. It's doing good so far, and I hope it lasts a long time like other internal drives I purchased have.

I've purchased well over 25 of these easystore drives, and not a single one has had an issue. They all pass the several tests I throw out them out of the gate, and only 1 has failed over the 6 years I've been using them - and that one after 5 years, with a warning ahead of failing. Feel comfortable buying them!

Backing up my ever growing catalog of photos and video fills the smaller drives very quickly. This drive's USB 3 interface makes copying faster and the higher capacity lets me store more in the same footprint. I'll be adding more of these.

Great for backing up computers and archiving large files. We purchased it to back files and work product for our graphic design and animation department. It was easy to set up and worked well for multiple users. It was not fast enough for 4K video capture. We didn't purchase it with that in mind but tried to use it when another external hard drive failed.

Plenty of storage and a great price on this deal!!!

Huge Hard Drive at the best Black Friday price....

Large capacity, small footprint on desk. Reliable.

Easy to install and use. Great value when on sale.

This is a delightfully large storage device to collect various media files from several different computers to sort out my entire media library. After a few weeks of copying everything over, there's still about 4 terabytes free. The speed is good, but not great. Perfect for backing up a lot of media and moving it to another computer to consume. It'll be able to let you watch 1080p content, but it started to stutter when I was also copying files.

An excellent storage device to archive and consolidate years of photographs and videos from clients. I was able to clean out 3 smaller drives, organize them and delete duplicates with no problem. I can now get to clients older files without having to swap out drives.

I'm not sure whether it's a problem with my PC but reading from this Hard Drive can be a bit slow. I also hear ticking sounds from the drive sometimes. I upgraded from a 5 TB Hard Drive for more space but I guess slower read times is the compromise. The 5TB drive was much faster. I can't imagine what people used to SSD drives will have to say about this product.

Run the drive checked from wd first. Passed for me but others didn’t have the same luck. Do the full test but it’ll take maybe a day or two for 14tb but worth it to make ur data safe from corruption or loss. Love the drive and capacity itself. Got it for 180 on sale so I would wait for a discount from the 200+ price.

This is the largest hard drive I have ever purchased and so far it works great. I do a bit of video editing and always need space for files. No worries, this drive has 12.7 TB of formatted space. I don't edit off this drive even thought it is fast, it is not fast enough for that.

Great device - easy to shuck and running along just fine with others in my NAS. These are my go to purchase now when I want to expand storage. In theory they should not be used in a NAS, but I continue to have no early failures and with 2 drive redundancy and backups - the risk is easy worth the cost savings.

Excellent Product, fast and reliable! I now only buy WD Hardrive's it is the only brand I have never had an issue with! I have been in IT for 20 plus years and have used pretty much every brand out there. In my opinion, WD drives are the best at every level from consumer-grade to enterprise-level drives.

This is a huge, reasonably fast and very quiet external drive. I had a lot of files on some portable hard drives that I wanted organize and eliminate duplicates and this drive really does the job. Reasonable price per TB. I've had consistently good luck with WD drives too.

I'm happy with my purchase and recommend the hard drive to others. My only concern is when you can sometimes hear the hard drive operating within. This doesn't happen that often, but I have noticed it at times. Other than that, it's a good pickup.

Nothing is better than being able to back up ones images. Especially when your a nature photographer shooting raw images in the thousands a day!
