Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of best storage size for dollar purchase when on sale. So far this is my third purchase of same brand and model line of item, all of them are different storage sizes. So far have not experienced any defects in any of the products. I do not use any of the WD application software.

Good value external storage! It has plenty of room and the price is very good during Thanksgiving! Have been using for over a year now and works very well!

Great hard drive for the price. Used the 15% HDD recycle program to lower the price even more. speed is around 200MB/s. The drives does get a little loud at startup (self check I'm assuming) but acts normally afterward. Overall, great backup drive.

This is my second WD usb drive. The first was 2 years ago. I've been very pleased with them. This one is to back up the first one.

This external drive really helps me manage my drive situation here at my office. WD has never let me down so far. :)

1st one gave I/O errors so returned it for another. Very unusual for a Western Digital drive to be bad out of the box. The 2nd one has worked and performed flawlessly. Us it to perform daily backups on two different computers.

I’ve had good luck with these for backup memory. Easy to use and performs well.

Love it! I transferred all my movies, music, and pictures here from other Western Digital WD products. I love WD I've had their products over the years and have NOT had any issues. I'll keep buying their products through out the years.

I was running out of storage space on my desktop. I had already added a 4TB internal drive, and already had an external eSATA drive (2TB). I was discounting using a USB drive verses an eSATA considering the 6Gbps of eSATA and wondering if that was the right move. I did the research, weighed the options, but ultimately the price prevailed, as at least I would have the storage space. Now that I have it, I can say that there is no question to go this route. It has performed flawlessly, for one. The CPU load accessing the USB seems to be less than with the eSATA, so the performance seems to be less intrusive. Also the real-world usage appears to be faster. I am using the drive to stream video to my Oculus Quest 2 via Link (USB) and have had no issues. If you have USB 3.x I would highly recommend this for a storage solution. I have not yet found a down-side. As an aside, this was a b-day present to myself (actually purchased *on* my b-day) :-)

Great product if you need to store data. Need a outlet plug cause it has it's own power. Seems to be real fast on transfers at about 190 m/s. Bought several of these to store company information. Great alternative if you do not have the space inside your computer.

Decent desktop drive with good performance and reasonable price.

This is a great external hard drive for storage, backup, etc. The price was really competitive as Best Buy members had early access! Superb product and very well worth the cost. 14TB can easily hold all my videos, photos, and music files that I have collected over the decades!!

Always enjoy using these items for storage of important files since I consider myself a digital hoarder. I have plenty of room for all of the digital copies of my comics and music.

Works as described. Effectively and efficiently stores my data, photos and videos. Recommend this product for additional personal storage.

This was a great deal in my experience. And WD hdd is very stable and well working. Also, I can easily extract HDD from this device and can use it by inserting to my desktop. (But a little trick is required to hid 3rd sleeping pin).

14tb, white label, bit loud but that's to be expected with large drives like this.

It’s workin. I’m using a media player for some tvsssss

I have bought WD for most of my hard drive needs, and this one, as expected, had not issues, was pretty quiet during use, and I managed to transfer my data to it without any problems...

been using since the day i bought it, works like a charm. it's not fast, but for multimedia storage, it's ample. the trick is wait till it goes on sale, which is quite often and make it a sweet buy. note: it won't work on ps4, the size exceeds the max allowed.

Huge amount of storage space w/fast USB v3.0 interface. Only owned for a short time, but so far so good. Unit will go into a sleep state after some time (5-mins or so), so it saves on power. Hopefully it doesn't die on me - would hate to lose that much data!
