Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've used WD hard drives before and, even when they eventually fail (and they all will), they stand behind their guarantees. And the Geek Squad is a great back up to that as well.

use this to store all my footage for our youtube channel saga garage. check us out https://youtu.be/i2Y4RKFFu9Y

Works great as a NAS drive attached to my nighthawk router. IT's reasonably quiet, not bright, and the network storage means I can access whatever I put on it, pretty much anywhere in the house (or with some VPN foolery, anywhere in the world.)

On sale these things are fantastic. You can shuck them and throw them into a PC for internal storage. Great if you're building a NAS on sale.

Is good. Very good. Mucho good. Big bass. Very comfy

I no longer have to decide what to keep and what to let go of: 5TB of memory! I don't have to worry if I remembered to save my work: it does it for me. A great product

This is an excellent product. It is very fast and efficient. So far I have uploaded half of the drive with no problems. I will get another when this one runs out of room

I bought this one because my old 3TB external HDD (Seagate Expansion Desktop) broke down. It has been working pretty well for the past three weeks, writing peaks at about 180MB/s and reading peaks at about 190MB/s. One thing I like about it is that it's a lot quieter than the old one, I know because I put it on my desktop, about 15 inches away from my head.

I've purchased several of the Easystore drives over the past few years for archival and online storage. All of them have performed flawlessly with no errors or problems, and my oldest one still in service is over 2 years old. I never use included software (I always start new drives out with a full read/write error check and a reformat) so if there is any software included I can't attest to its usefulness or lack thereof - sorry. However, they function just fine as "normal drives" and you can add your own encryption software as desired. It might also be useful to know that these drives do not use any "hardware encryption" - if the enclosure ever becomes damaged, it is possible to simply remove the drive and install it into another enclosure in order to recover the data. Some WD and Seagate models do "on-chip" encryption in the enclosure, rendering the drive's data useless if the enclosure ever fails - this drive does NOT exhibit that behavior, which may be desirable to some buyers. For those curious, these drives use the helium-filled design that WD acquired from HGST. Most often you'll find a "white-label" (EMAZ/EZEZ) drive, but sometimes they will contain a "red-label" (EFAX) drive. There's no practical difference in performance between the drive models however.

Great drive nice and quiet. Plug and play. USB 3.0 so very fast transfers.

Good quality excellent price work flawlessly not issue less then 90 I pay

This external hard drive was perfect for what I needed it for. Loads of space and easy use.

Stores all my music. Works great and I have more room now

My son is getting his second Master's degree, working full time in a research lab and applying to medical school. He is constantly writing papers and collecting research information and data. He wants to be able to access everything no matter where he is working from, and make sure he never loses any of his work. This external hard drive holds enough so that he will be able to use it for years and years.

Up & running in less than 5 minutes. A ton of storage space at a great price.

Great price. Need to transfer Photos as my computer is old. Great Sale for 8TD

Bought two for use with a small media server that cannot fit 3.5" HDDs. Both have been setup in a Windows Storage Pool and on 24/7 for over a month now. Zero problems.

For the Amount of space, the Plug and Play, and the Price.. Get 2.. I'm Buying another

I had three external hard drives. The first two were either very difficult to use or would not work at all. This one however, is neither of those things. I simply followed the directions that came with the drive and, it was up and running. I used Microsoft file history to create the back up and it started working immediately. Great product.

Works as expected. Using in a NAS (just an old laptop running OMV). Maxes out a gigabit connection. Had to format to exFAT
