    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.

    I've used this 18TB unit with a Tablo Quad OTA VCR to record over the air television shows for later viewing on my laptop or TV. It has worked nicely. (in use about 6 months). I've used mostly 14TB and 8 TB Easystore units like this one for local backups for years without a problem (except for one that fell off a shelf -- so don't let that happen...).

    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.

    Solid that it’s 18yb and speed is pretty good. Makes a lot of noise though. Best to tuck inside a cabinet.

    So far so good, however, it was too big for my Xbox one X, I didn’t know before I purchased it that the Xbox one’s only support up to 16tb external drives, so I’m using this one on my computer and purchased a second 16tb one for my Xbox.

    I do a lot of wildlife photography and needed an external hard drive to back up my files. The WD Easystore 18TB answered that need. Once my files are backed-up, the WD Easystore goes into a fireproof safe. I plan on purchasing a second one soon!

    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.

    What can you say about a product that does one thing as advertised other than that it works reliably? Massive storage capacity, reliable connection over USB, and no beats skipped despite backup of nearly 10tb nightly. Well worth the price, especially when on sale.

    Lots of space for backing up files. Surprisingly quiet for this drive. Only problem I have is after transfering files for about 3 hours temps reached 55 degrees. I recommend using external fans to keep it cool.
