Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great hard drive. Very easy to use. Installation was easy very straight forward.

It's a lot of storage for a decent price when on sale. WD makes some nice hard drives that hold up pretty well..

I'm happy with the 2nd delivery of this 16TB drive, but the problem with the first one had more to do with Best Buy that Western Digital. My first one was delayed, took 10 days to get to my destination, but I knew it was going to be damaged as standard shipment meant a lot of stops and a lot of throwing around the package that the Easystore was put in. I mean there was zero protection and the box was way to big, so this poor external hard drive must have been getting knocked around something terrible. So, obviously when it arrived, I immediately did a thorough drive test. Needless to say it failed right out of the gates from a simple drive check, then it went all down hill from there. I'd bet the farm that the treatment of the outer box, no matter how so called protected this drive was in its own box, couldn't sustain that kind of abuse. Anyway, no problem on getting reimbursed for the return shipment and I asked for a replacement, but was willing to pay 2 day shipping in an attempt to avoid it getting thrown around so much for so long. Fortunately the box that this one came in was smaller and everything checked out on a health level. Good thing was Best Buy reimbursed me for the 2 day shipping. Probably looked at the circumstances and thought that wasn't his fault, so I appreciated that gesture. 16TB is a lot to lose if it's filled will Data. Fortunately I'm a backup kind of person and have two of the same filled with the same data, because you just never know. This has served me and has been my number one advice to anyone with data. Always and I mean always have a backup of everything that means anything to you. I'm giving this 4 stars. Not for the product, but deducting one less star aimed at Best Buy's shipping team. Look at what you're shipping. If it's vulnerable on a tech level, make sure there's packing and the box is even remotely close to the size of the product's box. If you don't, you'll be receiving more unnecessary returns than if you had just spent a little more common sense time and shipped it right.

Great price per terabyte when bought on sale. Easy to shuck and straightforward.

It works great so far. Depends on what you need, 16Tb for me is more than enough. You can wait for a lower price but I needed it immediately so I bit the bullet.

drives work great, super reliable and fast. upgraded from 8tb drives. hope the prices can come back down to normal again.

I bought this item to Backup all my files and Word docs. It works amazing well worth the buy.

Great product and always worth the money. I own a dozen of the easy store drives for different uses and I’ve only had one go out and WD took care of it.

Easy to use, lots of storage space, but requires being plugged in to AC power.

Bigger storage for BIGGER files. Works like it should, have not had an issue. If you need storage get it when it is on sale.

Great price, great drive and it's still going strong

High capacity storage that's reasonably priced. These drives work well and last a long time.

Working very well for over a month now. Easy to format to a Mac and use it for bulk photo storage

I needed a big hard drive to hold big files like video and this one was cheaper here than at Amazon.

the drive has a lot of storage for a reasonable price and seems fast and reliable.

Need massive storage, this gets the job done. Plug it in and and load it up. comes with applications to do auto backups.

Awesome drive. This was my second 16tb easy store drive. Nice looking and lots of space. In total this is my 8th Western Digital easy store. They all work great. I have the 4tb, 8tb, the 12tb, and now the 16tb. All purchased from Best Buy.

Works well, good storage for the price. Drive will work externally or internally.

Very affordable for 16tb storage. I have been using this for sometime now and it has working as expected.

Works great right out of the box. Plenty of space and fast enough to do all you could expect.
