Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the easystore 16TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive's massive storage capacity, reliability, and ease of use. Many also find it to be a good value for its price. While some users note that the drive can be noisy and that it requires a separate power adapter, the positive feedback on storage and reliability outweighs these concerns for most buyers.

    I thought I was paying for 16 TB, but my windows 10 64 bit machine is telling me post formatting 14.5 TB. Unable to find or understand why 1.5 TB has disappeared.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Good external hard drive, but found a 14TB WD drive that was a better value on sale so this one went back. Always a good idea to disconnect this drive from your computer when not actively using it to avoid allowing ransomware to access and infect your precious backup data.

  • Pros mentioned:
    Storage capacity

    14TB a WD winner, 16TB a ST loser--who knew?

    To note, 14TB easystore drive is great (WD white label, easy to shuck and use in Synology NAS), but 16TB easystore version is something else entirely (private label Seagate drive, actually (yes, they really do that), and let's just say 'absolutely does not work as advertised'). So, 14TB is a winner, 16TB is a big loser. Be advised...
