    I do a lot of photos and video editing. Canon T6i, phone pics, drone and gopro stuff. A lot of junk to save. I try and delete the junk that is pure junk most that isn't a lot as I never know exactly what might come in handy down the road a spell. I recently rebuilt my desktop computer and the NVMe drives only go up to 2TB, some 4 and you can actually get 8 but you are talking 1200 buck minimum. ain't nobody got time for that. So I saw that this external drive was actually on sale at BB for right about 200 bucks. Got it to store all that extemperanious stuff on and as a back up for all the good stuff too. It is relatively quite, and pretty fast too so fits the bill. Got it plugged into the back USB port on my new computer and have it sitting on the back of my desk out of the way, but it's hooked up and ready to go whenever I need it.

    14Tb 199$ Black Friday Deal (Best HDD Deal so far by Bestbuy in 2022) - 7200 rpm. Saving speeds are pretty good, max was 250mb/sec from Nvme SSD. Colder then 2 years old WD My Book 8Tb - difference is 3 Celsius degree during common work: 38C vs 41C. Both staying strictly on cooler max speed - AC Infinity MULTIFAN S7, Quiet Dual 120mm USB Fan. Cons- warranty only 2 years. Will hope for the best.

    Came with everything needed to use it. Got the drive on sale for $199 in November 2020. Excellent purchase for that price. Like my 12TB Easystore, this 14TB runs cool (5400 rpm) and quite. Got 12.7TB usable capacity after formatting under NTFS. Been buying Western Digital bare drives for years (they used to have 5 year warranties back in the day) as they've been much more reliable then Seagate's which used to fail constantly for me personally and at work. Hopefully these Easystore's will just as reliable.

    This is my second 14 TB EasyStore. I needed another external storage unit for archiving of my massive media collection. Its speed, near silent operation and slim footprint. Given its stellar performance and price, it was a no-brainer in my purchasing decision in purchasing an additional EasyStore.

    As stated, this external drive has so much storage. Over triple what I've had in the past. I'm looking for reccomendations on what to store in it. Functionally, the device is perfect. Read/write speeds around 200mb/s, which could be better. I bought this device for $182 after a 15% hard drive trade in discount. Makes this an incredibly good deal! Please don't purchase it for more than $250, this thing goes on sale year-round. Also note that this external drive is shuckable- this means you can take it out of its shell and install it in a 3.5" drive bay, provided you tape off some very specific pins. Follow the guide on r/datahoarder for specific details!

    This item has been great. It is fast and reliable. I was able to grab it on sale, which was awesome. Great for storing games, music, and movies. I purchased a 2 TB one of these about 10 years ago and its still kicking, so I am sure this 14 TB will be around for years. Total Space is 14 TB, but Windows breaks it down to slightly above 12.7

    Really nice speeds. I'm impressed by this drive. I've bought two Red Plus 12TB drives before. Those Red NAS drives are much more expensive than these external hard drives even though they are essentially the same thing if not better. I will never directly buy a NAS drive again because it's really easy to get one of these external drives that have Ultrastar drives in them. I was able to get this one for less than $200 so it's a really nice deal.

    Drive connected fine to my PC and comes pre-formatted NTFS. I still ran a clean on it in diskpart and then formatted myself. It is 7200RPM. Speeds seem really good, crystal disk is showing 200MB/s on large files. Transfer speeds vary for me between 60MB/s to 101MB/s from another 7200rpm HDD connected over SATA. Wish it had a power cord instead of the little adapter it comes with, just easier to plugin and wouldn't need a socket on the end. The software it comes with wouldn't install, stopped at 18%. idk if it's any good or what it does. On sale I think this was a great deal.

    These WD- easystore 14 TB are the best I have ever bought. According to crystaldiskinfo it is 5400 revolutions. I currently have more than 20 disks running and they reach a write speed of about 170mb / s and a read speed of approx. 200 mb / s. When those that I have bought in other stores are slower being that they are from the same WD brand.

    I put this little guy to work right away creating some permanent storage for years worth of online files. It hasn't hiccupped at all. I love the size / cost ratio and have had great value from all the WD externals I have purchased over the years.

    I got lucky because I was able to get this for less than $190 during the black Friday sales, I mainly use it for my playstation gameplay videos when I transfer them to my computer, my pc is a 15+ year ago computer with 1TB so this comes in handy, I'll be looking for a new pc setup next

    Fantastic External Drive for Most PC Gaming

    Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased this on sale at $239.99. Total Storage Size is actually 12.7TB. Previous reviews indicate this drive is 5400rpm, newer shipments run an updated model that states 7200rpm. https://smarthdd.com/database/WDC-WD140EDGZ-11B2DA2/85.00A85/ I bought this drive to store & play games off of and the drive serves that purpose well for 90% of PC games and PC emulated games. It only struggles with modern open world games like Elden Ring or Marvel's Spider-man Remastered. World of Warcraft & a heavily modded Bethesda game like Elder Scrolls/Fallout suffer as well. This is just a limit of most external HDD drives in general though and doesn't reflect poorly on the drives overall great performance for most other games. I have included screenshots from CrystalDiskInfo & CrystalDiskMark Scores from that drive at 86% full
