    Built for capacity, not for speed

    Holds a lot of stuff, but not the fastest. I wish it were bus powered, but that might not be possible with a drive this size.

    I have had a few of these drives and have never had any issues with them. They do exactly what they are supposed to do and do it reliably.

    Works like it should - archiving videos and pictures is easy and this works right out of the box. Decent speed for spinning drive.

    I love this! I use this for books, movies, photos, and files. I am think about purchasing another one for my brother. This frees up a lot of space on my computer.

    I've been a big fan of WD - Easystore drives for their speed and reliability. The 18TB drive is no exception. I would like to see prices go down, not up over time. At this rate, 20-24TB future drives will cost more than most computers they are being hooked up to.

    I’ve been buying these for work files because I have a lot. Not only paperwork, pictures, pricing, etc. This one in particular however, has me a little scared. Sometimes it takes longer than usual for the drive to respond, to the point that my finder wants to quit it. I’m just hoping this one won’t die or go bad on me!

    I always backup my data on these WD - easystore 18TB external USA 3.0 hard drives. I already have one but in case something happens to it I like to back my data onto another one. I highly recommend them.

    I have been relying on Western Digital hard drives for a while now. They have been the most reliable out of all drives I've handled in the past 10 years.

    Always purchase these drives for double time machine backups! Keep a spare in case of failure. Good drives but not super fast. Good for Plex server too!

    Bought 4 of these for my NAS. I then use the SATA to USB connector to upgrade my old hard drives to put in my desktop. Too bad Best Buy took away the recycling of old hard drives to use on easystore hard drives.
