Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Excellent performance and easy to use from a respected manufacturer.

This drive is fast - very fast - for an external supposedly 5400 RPM hard drive. So that led me to dig into the drive a bit and do some research. WD doesn't really post a lot of info on the actual drive hiding inside these external enclosures, but from what I can see on at least the higher storage count drives 14TB-18TB, these are Ultrastar DC HC550 drives. That means they are in fact 7200 RPM helium-filled with a 512 MB cache and a 2.5 million hour MTBF - and used in data centers so they can take more punishment than your standard cheap every day run-of-the-mill hard drive. All of my drives go through an extended read/write torture test before they are put to use, which this drive passed at a maximum temperature of 50 C. It is doing its job backing up family photos and videos.

There is lots of storage for almost everything in your digital world. fast access

Perfect storage capacity and easy setup. Price wasn't bad for storage size.

Works great. 14.5 formatted capacity. Comes with USB cable

I havn't shucked it like others have, however, I have it hooked up to a pi for my home media server. Works flawless. It has enough storage for everything of all categories such as movies, tv series, music, etc. Its self powered so that it works with the pi great as well as sometimes the pi's USB ports cannot handle self-powered drives.

I use this drive to backup photos. It works well. I actually bought 2, one for each computer.

I use this external hard drive mainly as my backup drive for 2 other external drives, my cell phone, my laptop, and still have space for more things! I love having a massive amount of storage without worrying about running out!

Great, reliable backup device and was affordably priced.

Great storage. fast efficient, great for nas use!!

Wait until its $200 or less. Decent for mass storage

Ton of storage in a small box. Sleek, very quiet, goes in stand-by mode when not in use for 15 minutes even connected 24/7. Note - disc is preformatted in NTFS GPT - not compatible with Mac nor older operating systems. For maximum compatibility WD Quick Format allows to repartition to MBR ExFat or NTFS as a single drive (bypasses MBR’s limit of 2TB).

Works great. Plug and play. Everything included was in the box

The external hard drive works as advertised. It is plug and play so it is simple to use.

Huge storage, use this as my second back-up, easy to set up.

Great price for this drive. Easy to transfer files.

Great for the price. I have tons of media and different devices to back up. This does the job. Transfer rate is not bad either.

Great expansion drive, use it on my home network as NAS and backup. Reliable as I have a bunch of these. Achieve 50MB/s transfer via wifi on these drives without issues.

Large drive. Nice high transfer rate on USB 3.0. Since I bought this on 04/14/2021, they are now unavailable. This Easystore drive is made for and only sold by BestBuy. I got it on a daily deal. I use it to have a backup of my NAS so it isn't plugged in all the time. Overall I have no idea about longevity. Very happy with this purchase.
