Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

This is my second one. The other is full and I put on my shelf so I can go to it when necessary. These work great and have held up well. I highly recommend.

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.

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.

I love, love, love this hard drive!! I have one hooked up to both my xbox series x and my xbox one x and it has worked flawlessly. I have 95 games installed on one with almost 10 TB of storage

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.

Love these hard drives. Have a couple for storing photos and videos.

Bought this on sale for 60 dollars less than I paid a month before, so now it's a great drive instead of just a good one :-) This is the 3rd one of these drives I have connected to my NAS servers (over a dozen WD USB drives total). All of them are working flawlessly.

Excellent quality WD (almost) server grade drive inside this unassuming black case makes this an excellent candidate for shucking and popping in your NAS, and they’re only available at BB. I have several for movies, tv and music and have had no problems. Best for data storage, not so much as a primary drive.

I was tired of paying money every month to store all my pictures and files. This is a high quality, easy to use alternative.

Easily connected, fast data transfer, n hours.oisy in its seeking movements but on the same level as the HP Envy Laptop. The drive cabinet stays cool to the touch even when used for

The WD Easystore 14TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive that I purchased from Best Buy offered very good value and came exactly as advertised. The product replaces my current Seagate 8TB external hard drive. I have also owned several other WD external hard drives. Overall the WD and Seagate external hard drives offer similar functionality, but I found the accompanying software from WD better designed and easier to use.

Very simple to use. Windows 11 automatically recognized it and made it accessible to use. No formatting required. Very easy!

Excellent, very fast and reliable. I have several items from this brand and so far they have all worked quite well.

Excellent value if you can get at a decent price. I used it as a bare internal drive without the shell, it has standard SATA interface that can be plugged directly into the motherboard. Note that the mounting screws have different locations from the standard 3.5 inch drive, however.

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.

I've bought three of these easystore 14TB drives during Black Friday sales and they are no-brainers, especially then. I use one with a Plex Media Server that stores all my audio, video and picture files with room to spare. The other two drives are on my computer for document and work files storage with one as the main drive and the other as a backup. They are quiet and faster than my older WD 8TB drives they've replaced.

For the price, a good hard drive. Lots of space. Not to much noise. Good value.

Plenty of space for whatever you're collecting. It's best to wait for it to go on sale at $199.99, as it happens pretty frequently. This drive will be going into my NAS.
