Nice Drive But...
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an odd situation. I got a great deal on this 20 GB drive so I am beyond happy about the price. Here is where my happiness turns to bewilderment. This drive inexplicably drops from my Macbook Pro. It just disappears and I have to unplug/plug the power to make my Macbook Pro see it again. I don't know if this was in the planbook from the designers of this EasyStore 20GB or if this is just a drawback of owning this drive. You may say that this is not a problem but for me it is. It drives me nuts when I have to unplug/plug a device that should be seen by my Macbook Pro. BTW I did format the drive in APFS format so could that be the reason it is dropping? I dunno but I still like the drive for the capacity but can't give it a perfect 5 stars because of the "dropping" off problem. I still love WD products.

Great storage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second of these hard drives. The first is still going strong but it's of a lower TB size. I saw this one on sale and decided to get it. I can always use more storage. Working good and no issues.

Perfect backup drive

I would recommend this to a friend WD Easystore 20TB to simplify
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had 4 smaller USB external drives and performance on my system was poor based on the USB activity so merged them onto this drive and life is much better now. I have had several drives including external cases that you put your own drive inside but this is much easier and seems to have ok IO speed for what it is honestly. I would recommend but I have only had for a few weeks.

Be mindful it will show up as 18tb
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The way that the pc reads tb is 1024 gb but marking reads it as 1000gb. So it is the full size but it will shock you if you dont expect it

Really worthy my money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad for a large storage user that’s sometimes not connected to the cloud. It worth every dollar I paid for. Sometimes there tend to be a vibrating noise that reminds me that it is there lol!

Perfect for storage of family pics/vids
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for storing family pics/vids. We used to store everything on our laptop but now we use this hard drive instead. Clearing space on our lap top also. A bit tricky to use at first since you have to install the program but simple afterwards. Got the 20 tb on sale so it was definitely worth it. Probably wont ever need to buy another one for years to come.

Western Digital 200 TB does not disappoint!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Western Digital hard drives do not disappoint! Very solid heavy construction and does not get hot while hooked up. Just plug and play (use), no additional software needed. I do not use the included cloud services, which is optional, but not for my needs. Very happy with this purchase. Thank you Best Buy!
