Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have even been getting external hard drives since before the 1TB was the largest of the drives available on the market. We have purchased many Seagate and WD external hard drives over the years. To be honest, these are the only two brands that I trust with all of my digital information. I do always have a minimum of two backups to everything because I have, on rare occasions, had one of these drives go bad. However, for the amount it stores, and for the overall reliability, I think it is a great investment for all those irreplaceable digital photos, movies, projects, etc.

BE aware that these drives have some tech in place to help them last longer that can be disconcerting. They spin up randomly and make a lot of noise. I don't think I ever had an external drive do this, and I have a lot of drives. It seems that the process is intentional, but it makes me nervous.

Great product for storing all files and photos. Great value for the price.

Good product, great price for 18 TB. Used it for a Plex server, tons of room for movies

Easy to use, plug in and play and I would recommend formatting first and selecting GPT for partition table and creating your own partitions. Massive amount of storage and can get the 110MB transfer speed on a gigabit network with no issue.

As an avid media collector, I've got way too many Blu-ray and vinyl rips floating around. My 8TB external harddrive was getting pretty tight, so I upgraded to a WD EasyStore 18TB and this is the perfect backup solution. It holds all of my movies, TV shows, and music files. Transfer speeds are about as fast as a traditional spindle drive will allow. And for my fellow homelabbers out there, these ARE shuckable so you can get a few of these, remove them (carefully) from the case, and pop them into a home server, NAS, or a desktop for tons of storage.

Western Digital Hard Drives are the best as far as I'm concerned. I've had othe name brands that have failed time and time. My Western Digital's haven't failed yet. Been using them for a very long time.

Western Digital is still the best in Hard Drives in my opinion. These are great drives with a lot of capacity and all of my WD drives have a longer lifespan than any other brand.

Huge reliable storage at a great price (during the BB sale!)

Compact size with plenty of storage space. I like the reliability I've experienced with WD external drives.

If gotten on sale like I managed to, these are a great cost per TB. However, These are the loudest drives I have ever used, and I've been computering since the mid 90s. I'm talking huge chonky noises coming out of this thing. When it spins up from idle it sounds like an old typewriter. It can be heard in an adjacent room.

Good at providing me with extra space for my games. A nice hard drive that easily connected to my lap top. Just plug and play.

EASY TO USE, EXCELLENT, I RECOMMEND IT FOR STORAGE OF ALL YOUR PICTURES AND VIDEOS.

Works great. Great deal when on sale. Will probably get anithwr one fkr a NAS.

This drive is a great deal for the amount of space you get. Sometimes it can spin a bit loudly but is still working great after 3 months.

Worked as a fast way to pull files from a dead motherboard.

Great drive at a great price. It was absolutely plug and play just hooked it up and it works like a charm.

Been getting and shucking EasyStores for a while now, love them for my Synology NAS. Especially when they are on sale and much cheaper than buying drives directly.

Plenty of storage, Easy to use and backup software comes in handy. Not sure if I will be using it or not. still testing

Cheap external storage at a great price. Cant go wrong with Western Digital.
