Customer Ratings & Reviews

Shucked this drive for a media server, model inside was a WD140EDGZ. I did not have to bypass the 3rd pin as my PC is already set up to avoid this, but be aware you may need to!

Bought this external harddrive to backup my desktop and as an archive for over 80K photographs taken over the years. Set up was easy and for the first backup, took over 1 1/2 hours but subsequent incremental backups are quicker. Great storage capacity and only drawback is it s a little slow

So far it's working great i did go in and erase the program so it works on both Mac and PC. I doing this it works even better so I don't mind saving my photos and videos, Is also cost and that has a big memory made me pick this one

So far decent speed and absolutely easy setup. Great buy!

Very good option for any back up need. Purchased two of the to mirror my archive so can have my data stored safely.

Great hard drive. Western digital are very trustworthy and this drive is fast and easily hides away behind my laptop

Shucked the HD for my server, still going strong. Requires the third pin to be blocked is you are not using it in the case through USB.

Surprisingly Well but not that fast but It does the job. I woukd recommend an external SSD for a friend but If they are on a budget then that is different.

Exceptional quality external drives right here and when they go on sale, the price per GB is on par with the best you'll find anywhere else. WD is the top of the line for PCs and it's no different with their Easy Store external line

Very easy to use and good for entire network backup.

This is my second one of this size...bought to backup the other one which I bought when they first came out. No complaints. Get very fast transfer speeds.

I got a new job, my new external hard drive came in handy for transporting all my digital files and documents to my new computer.

had to buy multiple times but finally i got one that so far seems ok, not sure what issue was, but no issues since i got one without issue, nice large drive affordable pricing

First it’s more like 13TB and second it’s the loudest drive I’ve ever owned. It’s so loud that it’s distracting. I have two external Seagate drives that are quiet as can be. Not super impressed with this. That being said, it works for my purposes and I got it on sale.

Fantastic, Smooth, Quiet, & Helpful. Quick Transfers to back up all your personal stuff.

Excellent drive that's been going strong for nearly a year now. Very fast, and almost silent (placed around 4 feet from my sitting area). And last of all, excellent price.

Works. Cost effective for lots of storage and backup

Hard drive worked well for archiving important information being transferred into digital format. No problems to be reported though start-up vibration is somewhat pronounced.

I’m using this as backup drive for my Windows based computer. It works pretty well for this purpose with tons of space. If I had one complaint it is it can be noisier than previous WD external drives I have bought. It makes a light “thunk” sound periodically. Otherwise it has been running fine for the past couple months.

Great HDD but little noisy like clicking when idle.
