    Think its great. Its quite (sata drive) so that helps. Does need a dedicated power source (outlet). Moves data at 40mbs. 18tb formatted is 16.3tb usable storage.

    If you need to store a large volume of data this drive is a great price for 18TB. This type of drive is ideal for home or office use but since they are a physical drive that is sensitive to bumps, drops, and vibrations I do not recommend using them if you are a traveling warrior.

    I'm very happy drives of this size are available. It's helping me archive projects properly for my work. Western Digital has always been a trusted brand for me and in my experience.

    Holiday sale, so the price was very good considering the amount of storage available. I still remember that my 1st 1 TeraByte external harddrive was $200+! Now 18 times that is approximately the same price.

    I'm very happy with this HD. It holds a ton of photos and is relatively fast, and quiet. I've had it a couple weeks now and it has functioned perfectly.

    I got this for ~$200, and at that price this is a good deal, but don't leave it running next to you. It can produce some annoying noises and vibrations.

    l like the storage capacity and easy transfer of documents, games, and video. I just wish the storage capacity was exactly what it is advertised. I know software for hardware takes up some of the storage space!!

    It is exactly what it says it is--plug and play large hard drive. Fanless and silent and a nice benefit to have mac NTFS read/write driver included for interoperability with windows.

    awesome product, have 3 external drives that are difficult to manage data between the three, but having a 18tb on one location is terrific. the old drives i now use for backups for the 18tb...drive is perfect.

    This external hard drive is both fast working and very quiet. It has worked perfectly with my desktop work computer, as a place to archive and manage backed-up files.

    It's really a little over 14 TB according to Windows storage panel which caused it to lose a star. It now has no issues when connecting. I have it on the same UPS as the PC. Once I turned off Windows USB power management (that would sleep the port) it would stay connected and ready. I moved OneDrive over to it to avoid running out of room on the main drive. I also have other cloud storage accounts and videos I save of twitch streams. I picked it up when it was on sale. I would buy it again at that price.
