    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.

    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)!

    Works perfectly fine, however, I wanted a specific model that suited my requirements. Ended up getting another Western Digital model with intended features.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I bought two of these and took out the hard disk for a NAS. They work perfectly without any tricks or modifications. The price if very good for such huge volume.

    Got 2 of these to shuck since the price was $189 each. One of them worked without needing to block the third pin while the other didn't. Both work great with no problems so far.

    Delayed review. I bought this some time ago. Looking back, should've bought more. I've had the drive on 24/7 since I bought this in my Ultra EX2 to back up all my photos and videos and not a single issue yet.

    Integrated easily, as I upgraded from the WD easystore 10TB. Solid speeds, negotiates the USB connection just fine with Linux, and nice sleek look. You can't go wrong with the value of this 14TB drive.

    This drive is fast. I have had storage drives in the past (WD My Cloud network) that worked ok but the speed of this drive and using the 3.0 USP is fast. Great for large files and large file transfers.

    7200 rpm WD white Helium disk by crystal disk info. However, it could be limited by firmware to 5400 rpm. 200Mb/s really life r/w speed. Excellent value at $200 (170 if you use 15% storage recycle coupon).

    These are the best drives for shucking for NAS use. I've been using these for about 3 years now. No failures and they're connected 24/7. I however only buy these when they're on sale.

    Got this on sale and was well worth it for the discount alone. Paying full price for it would not have been as good of a value. It works well and is easy enough to use so long as you read the directions.
