I got this hardrive on sale and it works well for keeping all my files in order and well protected....If you need space for game collecting, video editing, movies...you cant go wrong....

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

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.

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.

Immense storage. I think eventually, this will fill up, but ita going to take a while for that to happen. Great speed and have not had any problems with it

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

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

Great price for such a large storage capacity. If you’re using this on a Mac, make sure to reformat the drive into the proper file format. Also if you plan to use it for time machine backups and storage, make a partion

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.

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.

I expected a drive of this capacity to be on the slow side but it's actually very quick. I've had it for about a year and have no complaints.

Bought two of these to include in a RAID 5 Array for my Plex server. They are easy to shuck and do not require the SATA power modification that has been required on some drives in the past. Overall, great drive at a great price.

Works Great, I needed a large external Hard Drive for my movie collection

So easy to use and hook up right out of the box. I have very large files I needed to transfer and this hard drive made that a very easy task.

Easy set up for my imac. Great deal on a ton of storage.

Plenty of storage, this is used as a back up drive for my photos. I have a second one that is my main photo storage drive, but I wanted 2 copies so this worked out fine. I have had plenty of WD hard drives over the years and I have been very happy with them

Easy to use. Fairly quiet. Fast USB transfers. Good to backup data on my computers once a month.

The WD easystore 14tb external drive is a very nice drive. so far great write and read speeds over USB. The Disk management software isn't as bad and bloaty as it used to be. I highly recommend this for backing up day to day data.
