Customer Ratings & Reviews

bought it for my brother because he makes a lot of family photos and videos and he's going home to the philippines so he needed a new storage space. I'm always a fan of western digital because they last a very long time!

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

I purchased this external hard drive to replace the 4TB & 5TB external drives that I already have. I have tons of digital family photos and videos and this will work out just fine. I bought it when I saw it as one of the Deal of Day items and I jumped right on it,

Holds tons of space, and very affordable, woukd definitely recommend

I attached this to my Netgear router as a shared network storage device. Works great for extra backup copies on multiple systems.

huge amount of storage for the price! so far so good no issues yet! hopefully no issues ever! once it wakes up from sleep its plenty fast..no complaints

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.

right out of the box plug in and easy to use, good for store huge size of movies and data

I got this for doing data back-ups because just my MP3 collection alone is almost two TB! I also have sound clips, movies and other assorted files I like to keep back up copies of for reinstalling, moving to a new computer etc.. Just be careful and make sure you place the drive in a safe place. I accidentally knocked over my last drive and it broke!

Perfect for my Super Studio Desktop at an unbeatable price.

As easy as an external HD goes. I've had this for a bit over a year, and it's still going. I had to restart it manually once after a power spike in my apt complex. Other than that it is service me well.

Great price for the amount of storage available. Tends to run hot though.

This external drive really helps me manage my drive situation here at my office. WD has never let me down so far. :)

I bought this on sale for $199, and that makes it a good value for me. I don't think I'll ever fill out the entire drive. I have the same drive that I purchased a couple years ago that is connected to my computer that I use as the main storage. I keep pictures, documents, ripped CDs, ripped movie files in this drive. Still plenty of space left. I bought a second drive to back up my files from my first drive. Pictures, videos and music files are invaluable to me. So, backing them up is a no brainer for me, and this drive feels like it has unlimited space for my usage. I don't keep this drive plugged in at all time, so it won't break or malfunction or become corrupt if I kept it on and plugged in at all time. I back up to this drive as soon as I save new pictures and videos into my main drive. Just FYI, this drive stops spinning after a period of inactivity, which is great for longevity, but you'll need to wait 10 seconds for it to "wake up" if you need to access it. If you need immediate access and quick speeds, this is not the drive for you. Go for an SSD.

Reliable and massive! When on sale, it's a great USB 3.0 drive for mass storage needs - exp. those big iPhone 4K movies shot in Pro Motion, and HDR photos in RAW. I use it as a backup drive and its relative speed is not all the important. Overall it's a great value.

I have purchased WDEasyStore before. This drive is just as good. It includes power brick and usb3 cable. Just plug it in and get more Terabytes of storage. Just remember that more storage means longer boot times. The system needs to read all your folders and files for you to see them.

I have bought a number of these and none of them have failed. The key to have reliability is to buy not all at once but at different times and from different retailers. This way you are less likely to get a bunch of faulty doa ones or worse ones that die immediately after the warranty is up.

I’ve always had good experiences with WD drives, and this one is no different. I bought it to use as a safety net when moving all of my files from my old desktop to a new one. It works well and meets my needs.

Pretty Great Storage Drive. Good speeds for me as an average user storing lots of junk. I haven't used it to try and run games off of it. For the price on sale, it's a good value.

This is my second WD usb drive. The first was 2 years ago. I've been very pleased with them. This one is to back up the first one.
