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.

    WD easystore 16tb external drive works great, like all WD drives I have had. It is plug-in, and works right out of the box. Storage is unbelievable. I would highly recommend to anyone that stores a LOT of pictures, or that is into genealogy. LOts and lots of storage.

    I purchased this drive to back up my MP4 files. It works well for this. I have it set to back up automatically at a certain time of day. It has plenty of space for multiple backups. It can also be password protected. All in all, I would recommend this drive.

    Very convenient & easy to set up. I do notice an occasional delay when opening the drive in File Explorer, but nothing of any consequence or concern. Would have no hesitation getting another one once this one gets filled up.

    I got this for mass data backup of my rather large collection of audio files. Since many of the files are high definition, I needed a lot of capacity. This drive is not the fastest, but it is adequately quick for my needs.

    The EasyStore Hard Drive was a sound investment. At 16TB - it provides ample storage. Disk speed is 7200 RPM. I am satisfied with Best Buy’s store pick up - which was faster than ordering at Amazon. Satisfied customer!

    I connected this drive to my NAS to backup files stored on a Zappiti NEO media station. Many people "shuck" this drive for the HDD, but I kept it intact. No complaints so far.

    Works great, not too huge or bulky, I do wish it had another port, makes me a bit nervous.. but found a video online to pull it out of the case, if it ever came to that. Good price on a daily deal too.

    Lots of room, relatively fast for a mechanical drive. Arrived in working condition which is a plus when one considers how UPS and FedEx handle packages. So far so good.

    I use it for my Xbox Series X and works amazing. But as the norm, u can’t play series X games directly from it but you can play Xbox one games directly from it.

    On sale for around $200 was a must buy for this much storage, but if you ain't hurting for the space I would wait for better and/or cheaper.

    I don’t have anything to complain about except the price. I know this device has the capability of storing quite a bit but for $289 that’s a little pricey.
