    Huge hard drive, great price. Speed is pretty good, on par with the external WD 2TB drive I was using. The only downside is that only 12.7 TB are usable out of the 14 advertised.

    Great performance as an internal drive

    Removed the drive from the enclosure to use inside of a PC, and the drive has worked perfectly. Good read/write speeds, low noise, and no sectors lost after 18 months of 24/7 use. The USB enclosure also worked very well as a plug-and-play drive, and even worked when I moved a different drive into the enclosure. If you plan to remove the drive from the enclosure, always check the health/capacity of the drive before removing it, as removing it from the enclosure voids the warranty. There have also been several cases of people swapping out cheap/broken drives into the enclosures before returning the product.

    I bought this on Black Friday sale for $189.99. Then I went home, shucked it and put it in my newly assembled pc. If you are gonna do the same, make sure you have an IDE Molex to SATA Power Cable ready.

    Works good. I use it to backup files from my Linux desktop. Just plug it in and start copying the files. Copy the file to the external 14 TB hard drive. It will take a long time to fill it up though.

    Good sized space for the money, USB 3.0, not blazing fast, but fast enough for general file storage, if you can catch it on sale!

    Reliable, high-capacity drive

    This is actually the second 14TB easystore drive I've purchased, this time for my wife's computer. I've had a number of hard drive failures over the years, mostly with Seagate Drives. No hard drive is 100% reliable, but i've bought a number of WD hard drives as well as SanDisk SSDs, and only one has failed, and after years of use. These high-capacity drives aren't the fasted available, but they're reliable and perfect for storing large volumes of data, such as digital media, or for backing up your data. I use this drive as a Time Machine backup for an extensive collection of photos, music and videos I have stored on NAS, and it works perfectly and seamlessly in the background

    Purchased two of these on sale for my Synology NAS. Great value at under $15 per gig. Will most likely come back to the easystore drives when I need more space.

    Just like many computer components, hard drives have been hard to get at a good price - This was an awesome deal $/Tb, and the drive is super fast for a traditional mechanical disk.
