    Seems to be doing as expected. I am using it to back up multiple drives in my computer and an external drive. It was not clear that the backup software had to be downloaded, but after that, it went pretty easily.

    It was $190 when I bought it, hard to find hdd's for $13.57 per TB. Works as it should. Size is 12.7tb in reality. Transfers on average 90mpbs on usb3.0. Would recommend highly at $190 to $200. For 300 you can get 2 8TB's and have more space total.

    Much cheaper than the internal versions. Ideal for building a NAS. Ordered x2, both were WD whites from Taiwan. Both passed extensive WD data lifeguard diagnostics.

    I used this primarily for backup files and it works well so far. The transfer rate is pretty fast. The backup software that came with it doesn't support network drive transfer so I'm not suing that. Other than that small issue, this has been reliable.

    Great drives. I bought 2 of them for use in a Synology NAS. Luck of the draw I think but I did receive 2 7200 RPM drives. I've had good luck overall with WD over other brands and will continue to support them.

    im using it for an xbox one X, its amazing, i hooked it up to a smartplug so i can disconnect it via voice commands and also with the native app, google home, alexa skills, so it is not always on, it has a small flashing light as you can see on the picture, you can either cover it with tape or flip it to the other side lol, a massive game library i have over 800+ games, it takes like a minute for it to load on the system, i never felt it hot or running other than when im downloading games, got it for like 200 bucks a couple months ago currenty going for like 275/300 price range, overall very satisfied.

    I have been looking for a new external drive to save my video projects on since all of my pre-existing drives are getting full. Was searching for a while for something in excess of 10TB, but the price wasn't something that I was willing to pay, until this 14TB Easy Store went on sale. I immediately jumped on it. I've gotten exactly the amount of disk space that I need for the time being at a fraction of the cost of what some other manufactures are selling their externals for. As an owner of 10 different easy store drives, I would recommend these products for their reliability.

    This is an excellent device for backups of all kinds. Paired with a laptop or desktop with a 3.0 USB connection for fast transfers, you have what one needs for even secured data access. Best purchased while on sale for best value.
