    This was the best decision I have made. I was using different backup drives and had to try to remember where my files and photos were saved. Now I have them all on one drive.

    Holy Cow. 14 TB, how is this possible. I bought 2 and gonna get me another just because. You can never have too much storage. I've got WD harddrives that are at least 10 years old.

    I have had very good luck with all the 14TB drives I've purchased from Best Buy. I think I only had one failure in about 70 drives.

    I've been using this drive for a good while and having that extra long term storage has been so nice. My main Hard Drives were almost full and this has been a life saver.

    Purchased the 14T unit for media storage on a Mac. The unit was easy to set up and worked well in my mixed Mac / PC environment. Unit is quiet and trouble free. It has been knocked around a couple times accidentally and has been unaffected. Good purchase when on sale. I will be buying additional units.

    Pretty good transfer rates for an external drive, quiet, reliable. I have two of these for my dedicated plex media server pc and have no trouble keeping up with 4K video.

    Awesome best buy only product. Need to have for those with lots of game recording. Looking to buy another. Upload speed is around 200MB/s which is stellar for a hdd. Save some money and wait for a sale.

    I've been using WD for many years and for the most part they have done very well long term. Barracuda drives are reliable and when disconnecting correctly they shouldn't fail.

    Unbeatable price for slower storage

    A bit slow at times but for the price you get a decent amount of storage. While you can play games off an external drive like this you should probably limit it to older titles.

    Got this huge drive on sale for a great deal and we're using it at our office for a temporary location for transferring a lot of files. It's not super fast but we knew that going in.

    14 TB for $170 is a steal

    Very impressed with the quality and how easily it was to install. If you have a newer PSU there is no need to play around with kapton tape. If you have a 5 wire SATA cable, you’re pretty much good to go.

    Supposedly you can shuck this but I haven't even bothered. Just sitting next to my HTPC and chugging away. It's about 80% full now and still going strong.

    Hard to beat the TB/$ ratio for this purchase, only nitpick I would have is WD should include an adapter or at least sell one next to drives in store for their Shucksters.

    Need this drive for my backup. Contemplating on shucking and use for my NAS. ATM, I have 4 x 4tb on my NAS. Undecided if i want to upgrade to 14TB x 4 drives. Will wait for the price to get more affordable.
