    I use these to back up all my CDs and DVDs, and have had quite a success creating my library and getting closer to getting rid of all my discs.

    No complaints! This EasyStore 14tb is quick, quiet and runs cooler than expected. The size is sufficient for years of personal backup (redundancy). I will definitely add more units for media.

    Pretty much plug-and-play, so very simple to use. The included protection technology (to block viruses and malware) is optional, but if you choose to use it, there is a monthly fee after the first trial month.

    I needed a back up storage option. I had used WD in the past. I shopped around and found what I considered to be the best bang for the buck. Easy to use straight out of the box. I definitely recommend the WD - Easystore 14TB. Patrick

    This was the first drive I attempted to shuck and turn into a large internal drive. It worked easily and without any additional hassle some people have noted these requiring. A good drive at a great price.

    Excellent speed and reliability. I use these drives for backups and store a spare copy of my data at my office. 3 copies of your data in 2 locations is the key to a good backup.

    Easy to setup and use with a Windows 10 pc. Just connect it and Windows recognizes the drive and its ready to use. I am using it with Acronis backup and its been working without problem. If you use it with USB 3.0 then the speed is great.

    This is a great hard drive. I'm using it to store my 4K library. I'll be needing another one soon as I'm down to 3TB. It's attached to my Plex server and responds well. It's not as fast as an SSD, but for a drive this size it is not slow.

    Plug and play works great. Can use right out of the box. Formatting works ok as well. No issues with transfer speeds. I got bump-ons to help stop the unit from sliding. This my 5th one (different capacities)!

    These are excellent when they go on deep sales for shucking and building into large storage arrays. We all wish the unrecyclable black plastic case was easier to open to get to the chewy goodness of the SATA hard drive inside.

    Lots of space but very, and I mean VERY noisy. So far it has passed all the checks, but that noise makes me feel like it is going to suddenly fail. No issues so far, I’m keeping my fingers crossed. At $199 for Black Friday was hard to resist.

    We have owned several of these external hard drives, and they are pretty good over time. Our older model, 2 years old, now has a rattling part somewhere inside so we went ahead and bought a new one, planning for the old one to fail soon. The WD brand lasts about as long as you can expect from an external drive that you move around a lot.

    As with other drives of this type that I've purchased, this one does its job well. Great value for the amount of storage, especially if purchased on sale. The drive and interface are fast enough for long term data storage and backups.
