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 have 8 WD external drives including this one, and they are still going strong after a few years, my oldest being from 2015! I can also say that the build quality is top-notch, seeing as I literally had it fall to an uncarpeted floor, yet it's still working fine with no surface errors or bad sectors, so if you're going to go the external route, I would highly recommend a WD drive!
