    An excellent storage device to archive and consolidate years of photographs and videos from clients. I was able to clean out 3 smaller drives, organize them and delete duplicates with no problem. I can now get to clients older files without having to swap out drives.

    I use this to back up everything on my computer, with 14TB, there's more than enough storage in this drive. If your looking for a drive to keep your computer and others backed up, this is the way to go.

    This is the largest hard drive I have ever purchased and so far it works great. I do a bit of video editing and always need space for files. No worries, this drive has 12.7 TB of formatted space. I don't edit off this drive even thought it is fast, it is not fast enough for that.

    This is a delightfully large storage device to collect various media files from several different computers to sort out my entire media library. After a few weeks of copying everything over, there's still about 4 terabytes free. The speed is good, but not great. Perfect for backing up a lot of media and moving it to another computer to consume. It'll be able to let you watch 1080p content, but it started to stutter when I was also copying files.

    I'm not sure whether it's a problem with my PC but reading from this Hard Drive can be a bit slow. I also hear ticking sounds from the drive sometimes. I upgraded from a 5 TB Hard Drive for more space but I guess slower read times is the compromise. The 5TB drive was much faster. I can't imagine what people used to SSD drives will have to say about this product.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Run the drive checked from wd first. Passed for me but others didn’t have the same luck. Do the full test but it’ll take maybe a day or two for 14tb but worth it to make ur data safe from corruption or loss. Love the drive and capacity itself. Got it for 180 on sale so I would wait for a discount from the 200+ price.

    This is a huge, reasonably fast and very quiet external drive. I had a lot of files on some portable hard drives that I wanted organize and eliminate duplicates and this drive really does the job. Reasonable price per TB. I've had consistently good luck with WD drives too.

    I have bought a number of these drives to use as off-site contained backups, and have been extremely happy with all of them, and had no issues. Best of all, since they are already in the enclosure, you don't have to worry as much about careful transport vs. a bare drive.

    Grabbed this one when it was on sale for $200 close to Black Friday last year. I was also able to get a 15% off coupon for recycling a defective memory card, cutting the cost even more. All in all, it was a decent deal for a 14TB for about $180 out the door. It's been chugging along as I consolidated a couple of 1-2TB externals I had into just this one external HDD.

    Great device - easy to shuck and running along just fine with others in my NAS. These are my go to purchase now when I want to expand storage. In theory they should not be used in a NAS, but I continue to have no early failures and with 2 drive redundancy and backups - the risk is easy worth the cost savings.

    Excellent Product, fast and reliable! I now only buy WD Hardrive's it is the only brand I have never had an issue with! I have been in IT for 20 plus years and have used pretty much every brand out there. In my opinion, WD drives are the best at every level from consumer-grade to enterprise-level drives.

    IThe EasyShare drive holds lots of data and, as a backup drive, it’s perfect. I have backups scheduled for times that I am not using the PC (after midnight), and by the time I return, my files are synced. It may not be the fastest drive around but speed isn’t important to me.
