    Good home storage

    Good storage device for home. These are reliable harddrives for home use with a good warranty. The only negative is that they constantly get better and larger year by year so you can get a better one for the same price next year, but you can say that about almost all tech. I recommend this for home use.

    I have purchased WDEasyStore before. This drive is just as good. It includes power brick and usb3 cable. Just plug it in and get more Terabytes of storage. Just remember that more storage means longer boot times. The system needs to read all your folders and files for you to see them.

    I have bought a number of these and none of them have failed. The key to have reliability is to buy not all at once but at different times and from different retailers. This way you are less likely to get a bunch of faulty doa ones or worse ones that die immediately after the warranty is up.

    This is just what I needed. Something to set on the desk and house my video and music files. Easy setup. I'm using it for macOs, I had to download 2 pieces of software, and then that was it. Follow the prompts.

    A huge amount of space for the price it is unbeatable. Its practically silent. I wish it had a dedicated power button instead of turning on when the usb is plugged in to a device. Note that you actually get 12.7 TB and that is not a mistake. I do recommend.

    So far so good! I watched youtube videos to learn how to use it with my mac. It has great storage capacity and works as expected. I like the drag and drop functionality. It's not to loud or distracting with lights etc. I would purchase again.

    I've always used Western Digital drives exclusively, internal and external, and have so far never had a failure. Maybe it's luck, but I'll keep buying them. This one was plug and play as usual and catching it on sale was even better. Recommended.

    Bought this drive and shucked the case. All 5 drives worked perfectly together in a Syba 8 Bay USB enclosure. Did not need to modify any pins in order for them to work in the enclosure. Would definitely buy more in the future.

    This is a huge drive at 14TB and was easily shucked (removed from the enclosure) for use in my NAS without any modification needed. It was a good value vs. buying a standalone drive. It only spins at 5400mb, but that's good for longevity. I'd buy Western Digital over Seagate every time.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A+ It's great while in use, but - from my experience- if disconnected for any length of time it becomes a paperweight for some reason.
