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 have always purchased Western Digital Hard Disk Drives. This external hard drive is very sleek and fast as well. I have had it running 24/7 for additional storage.

    Time Will Tell, But So Far Great!

    Hate to give a HD an early review as time tells with these things, but so far it has been doing a great job. Using this as a back to a NAS. Only issue I have is that the casing puts the HD into hibernation mode when I need it to be on at all times. But not a big deal; it is actually forcing me to have more security by keeping it disconnected except when backing up. Great drive and always better when on sale!

    It’s a okay drive. Had to return first one because of excessive vibration and head banging noise in case. Second drive has no vibration but still has heads banging in case when NOT being accesssed. Gets quiet when reading. Laid drive on it’s side, it helps slightly. This is a known issue WD, even had it with a 12 tb drive when upright, that one is silent when laid on its side now.

    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.
