I use this drive to stream all my HQ music (DSF, FLAC). It is on all the time and can deliver a stream to multiple endpoints at the same time. Not bad for a backup drive!!

Decent desktop drive with good performance and reasonable price.

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

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).

I attached this to my Netgear router as a shared network storage device. Works great for extra backup copies on multiple systems.

Pretty good, lots of space for the price. A little loud sometimes but not too ba

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.

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

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!

At the time of purchase it was cheaper to buy this external than the internal equivelent. If you dont mind voiding your warranty, easy enough to open and retrieve hard drive for internal. Better performance than usb. Price is now really up on all drives.

Good product by a good brand name. Easy to install and holds a lot of pictures and videos.

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.

No issues. Easy to set up and has decent transfer speeds if you keep everything connected through USB 3.0. Using this to consolidate all my data in a nice neat package and then backup to a proper NAS in the near future. Will then use this to sync data with my main PC.

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.

Been using this for approximately 6 months to store excess games, video files and photos. So far it works great.

I got this to replace a different Western Digital external HDD model . The old one was a hermetically sealed plastic brick. Plastic doesn't conduct heat very well, so I guess the previous drive died from excessive heat. Its twin is still going strong. Its pretty bad when your backup dies, so you need to have a couple of backups, just in case. This drive holds the platters vertically, which I would think is better than horizontally like the previous drive. It also has vents, to let the hot air escape out the top, and cooling air enter at the bottom. Set up was a snap. It was plug and play with Windows 7. I deleted the software that came on the drive. I use SyncToy (from Micro$oft) to backup my data. I don't do a lot of accessing of this drive, so data transfer rate isn't a big deal. I seem to see about 18 MBytes/Sec using USB 2.0 My laptop doesn't do USB 3.0) It spins down after some length of idle time, but wakes up pretty quickly. The computer sleeps every night, but I don't have to do anything special to wake it up. 117 people found this helpful

Nice to have lots of storage space. I connected this to the USB port on my mesh router. I can access it from any of my computers. I have media stored on it as well as backup directories for my desktop. I used to have a four-bay network appliance. But this stores more.

Got it on sale for $189.99 USD. This baby is outstanding in high speed performance since it came out off the box. It seems to be quiet not to loud unlike some reviews on the Website. I had so many Sea Gate hard drives from Costco but they are not as good as my new WD.

Western Digital - easystore 14TB is reliable and affordable as all other easystore models. Just plug and play. Will purchase more as needed

Been wanting External Hard Drive this will hold a lot. Good sustained speed So far I am very satisfied with this one. Thinking about getting another one if to have a good sale on it like I got this one for. Hope it will last a long time.
