    Great price for a good product. It was exactly the amount of storage I needed. Works fast. Would have bought more if I had not been limited to just 2 hard drives.

    This thing is awesome storage wise. But it is pretty loud when it’s on. I gave mine to my dad ‘cause it was too loud in my studio.

    I bought this to replace my 8 TB HD seagate for my Xbox game library. It works fine, fits nicely in my entertainment center next to my Series X, and runs very quiet. The only drawbacks are that the blinking light on the unit always stays blinking, even when not in use and the console is off, and it doesn’t have any USB ports on the front of the unit in the event you needed it for a USB drive or would later use the HD for a laptop/desktop and want that feature. Still, its a nice HD and was a fair price, but minus one star for the slight lack of feature/always-on blinking light.

    I purchased this Easy Store so I could have a backup of my photos all in one place. This is the BIG BACKUP to several smaller WD Easy Stores of smaller sizes. I do not worry anymore about a crash in my computer or of a external BU because this is big enough to hold it all.

    Spacious and easy to use. Using on my 2015 5k iMac with no issues except one. It is best to use on powered hub or connected to the computer or connection issues may occur otherwise.

    Lots of space to dump files or use as a file history drive. There is not much to this drive, just the drive, enclosure and cables. That is all I needed though and it works fine. I have never had an issue with WD drives and own 6, all varying sizes, and all perform well and are stable. I use the 18TB as a file history drive for me desktop and I use this one as a dump disk. That is, for files I don't want on my computer, but also don't want to delete. This should last a few years given its size and I have never had an issue with WD External drives.

    14TB hard drive for 200 bucks when its on sale, breaks down to about $14.28 per TB. Great value.

    Easystore is the Best Buy branded version of WD Elements drives. I have used these brands of drives for over 20 years, and out of over 2 dozen drives, none have had an issue except for a few that failed after over a decade of daily use. The two 14TB Easystore drives I bought in 2022 are performaning great.

    This is extremely easy to use as a back up for a computer as a “time machine”. It is also useful the store large amounts of video and the image files.

    Best deal on TB per dollar

    Great deal on this 14TB drive. Got it on sale and I'm pretty sure this is one of the best retail deals you can get in terms of TB per dollar. I got it to backup my OS and backup my cloud drive. Plug and Play for Windows 10 - runs as expected, silently, and at advertised speeds. The entire casing is plastic. As it operates, if you put your hand on it, you can feel an ever so subtle vibration probably created by the spinning discs within. I haven't been able to test the longevity of this, and that may be a concern because it is not using an SSD inside (that would be prohibitively expensive for 14TB). Who backs up the backup?

    I got them on sale for $180. You can't beat that price for 14TB hard drive right now. Nice hard drive to back up all videos and movies. It's a must buy for a movie collector!

    Noisy drive that performs very well

    This HDD works perfectly for its intended use, however I have 2 gripes with this hard drive. 1) I cannot easily disassemble the casing and remove the hard drive to harvest the SATA to USB adapter (not knocking any points for this as it is not the intended purpose of the drive) 2) almost anytime the hard drive is in use it is not silent. You can really hear the disks spinning and it almost sounds like the disk reader is scratching the disks inside. Aside from those 2 cons, the drive works exactly as intended and I would buy a second one if it fit my needs better, however I wanted to harvest the adapter inside, which is not as easy as I had hoped and I am not willing to damage any of the components to do so. Overall would recommend.

    Backups are easy with this WD Easystore 14 TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive. I connected it to my MacBook Pro, and the Mac automatically backs up to Time Machine without my ever having to think about it. So when I had to buy a new Mac, I could easily restore all of my files from this WD Easystore to my new MacBook Pro. Easy Peasy!

    I purchased two of this HDD for my NAS. Right after picking up, I rand Crystal disk for checking and it was perfect. Pretty good value if you can buy one while it's on sale price.
