Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great…I dropped it while running and I can no longer use it for primary backup because it’s making additional noise now but after disk scan no sectors had an error and data was verified with Tera. My fault knocking it over during a bulk data write. Probably gonna strip it for a 3rd BU.

I bought this on sale for right around $200, It was a good value at that price. I actually bought 10 of them. 8 of 10 were able to write at over 220MB/s. Two of them were a newer drive with a more recent manufacture date and hit 240MB/s but had slower random write throughput. They also get quite hot if your transfer takes more than an hour. I'm taking one star off because of the bad random performance.

TONS of storage for a very reasonable price. I've had the 12TB version of this same drive and it's been very reliable.

Best value for your money. Reliable. Quiet. Will buy again.

Great, big hard drive. Great price. Works as intended.

Wonderfully priced 14TB hard drive. It was not cheap, but with the sale price, I think it was equally priced to the 12TB. For the storage capacity, it was the best value of any hard drive over 5TB. Anything larger, would double the price. Using it to store all my PS4 games in order to play them on the PS5, if I can ever get my hands on one!

Cheap and best value for the money. Very reliable product

Capacity is the lure here. Many of us collect movies and photos and we back them up or store them on external drives like this WD 14TB. One thing to keep in mind, if you use this primarily for storage you may need to back it up. With big space can come big loss. Buy 2. LOL. Nice drives, I've been using these for several years now.

Seems great and intended. I connected to my router so that i can store files and access it from all my other devices. If you move the hard drive left /right it makess sound .. might be of fan, I am not sure. Seems good at the price.

I needed a massive amount of storage for tons and tons of videos and photos. I was amazed at the relatively low price of this small monster. Hookup was a breeze. Windows instantly recognized it. Easy to move files over. Not the fastest external drive I've owned, but this is geared for mass storage - not performance. Not disappointed.

So much space at such a great price!!!! LOVE THIS DRIVE!

Great size for a decent price. Great for all my backups.

It is not a speed demon, but also not bad. For piece of mind when backing up computers or using apples Time Machine it does the trick for a good price and blends in nice enough. I’ve always had pretty good luck with WD and haven’t had one fail on me so far. If you are looking for long term archival it’s probably better to pay less for smaller sizes. Fill them by subject matter, then label them and put them in a closet. That way there is less searching 5 years later and less overall wear on those drives. But if you want a big drive to collect everything in one place this works if you don’t need to edit 4K video from it. I don’t use the software that comes with but it’s a nice touch if you don’t have any backup software and are unfamiliar with backup solutions.

great external hdd. large capacity. quick and easy to use.

Awesome storage size. Works great and easy to connect.

Backing up my ever growing catalog of photos and video fills the smaller drives very quickly. This drive's USB 3 interface makes copying faster and the higher capacity lets me store more in the same footprint. I'll be adding more of these.

I got this 14TB at less than US200, and found a WD140EDGZ inside it after shucking, which was perfect for my Synology NAS. Random read speed of small files from this HDD at about 50% storage capacity was significant faster than my Ironwolf, so it can't be SMR. Quite happy with the purchase.

Great product , great performance and great price ok, ok

fair price for 14TB. Runs usb 3.0 and is fairly quite

I needed to backup my entire PC before buying a new one and this one has worked great so far. Set it all up to run overnight and it finished with no issues.
