Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great for capacity and transfer speed. The latest software from WD still doesn't work on this drive, the included software is useless. WD Security doesn't recognize the drive at all, so the vaunted encryption ability is missing. Windows will still encrypt the drive using their own proprietary software; but unlike WD's encryption, Windows' version can be bypassed.

I bought this easystore 18TB hard drive as a replacement for two other smaller easystore hard drives that were getting old. So I transferred all their files to this 18TB hard drive with room to spare for new files. Now, one less hard drive and one less power brick plug. This new drive is compact and very quiet. For now, everything is working out.

It's a great hard drive! Lots of space. It's also reliable and well-built.

Got 3 x 18TB drives for archival purposes, mostly photos. The drives are reasonably fast. The USB3 interface seems sufficient for one 7200 rpm drive. I believe there is a WD180EDFZ inside. The price is great also. I will buy more in the future.

Purchased this for my grandson who saw it on Black Friday add and immediately wanted two. (He is an IT person with a lot of equipment) He had done some research and said these were some of the best and price was too good to pass up.

I use several of these WD external drives for rotating backups and all have performed flawlessly

This hard drive meet my needs for holding all my PC games in one central location.

It works and does its job! It took no time to reformat it to make it compatible with my Mac.

The WDWD - easystore 18TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive is good value for money. I attached it via USB to the back of my NAS and it showed up very soon on the NAS directory.

Easy setup and quick uploads. It has been a great choice for my storage needs.

Best storage value ever! Was waiting two years for a great deal. And super fast delivery as well. Thanks.

Great for storing 4k media. It is helpful for backing up all the family's computers as well

Super easy to use, great for anyone who works in film, animation, visual effects, etc

Good storage space but the was a power out and the backup did not react and the HD went lock.

Perfect? No nothing ever is in my opinion but it gets the job done. I think it's also interesting how another person bought 3 and only 2 of the 3 had 18TB so 1 star because the manufacturer screwed up but I assume it was a mandatory imitate situation for 3 18TB hard drives but hopefully they are doing alright

Ran out of icloud storage and didn't want to pay for the additional storage. Purchased this external storage to safely store my photos.

Great deal. Gest bang for the buck in external storage from Western Digital. I use it with Mac Os.

It makes some clicking noises when booting and finding files. Not sure if it is supposed to?

It's only been a month, but so far so good. Setup was easy and performance is great. Getting 110MB/s on USB3.
