    This is just the device I need for long-term storage of games and other large applications that I'm not actively using. It's also somewhat durable. This device fell from a counter twice by accident and it's still operable.

    WD Easystore has a solid build and is not too heavy. The read/write speeds are great. I would recommend this hard drive to everyone

    I wanted a hard drive that would be able to store a lot of music, movies, and pictures, and this one happened to be on sale and available in store.

    Bought this because I read that it has the WD Red drive in it, which is a NAS drive. Got home and was able to confirm that it is a red drive. Very happy.

    I bought this, dissembled it and took out the hard drive to use it with my computer build, I saved 100+ dollars doing so.

    This was a really nice sale on this external drive. It's a pretty quick transfer with the USB 3 that's included. It's sleek and compact.

    No problems with it so far. If I haven't used the computer for awhile, sometimes I have to wait a few seconds for the drive to load up and be accessible.

    I got these drives on sale. They work fine in the enclosure. I haven’t taken them out to just use the internal drives but that will come next.

    Great little external drive, but if you ar planning on shucking the drive mine came with a WD White Drive not the WD Red that older ones came with and it would not work plug-n-play as an internal drive...

    All three of these disks have performed flawlessly for a couple of years. I expect the same from my newest acquisition.

    One small drop, and the drive was unreadable

    We usually buy Seagate, but they had a great deal on this drive. Yes, it is a very good drive. The thing is that although we take really great care of our drives, we have had a Seagate take one small drop before and was fine. This drive wound up getting knocked over by someone, and it was a smaller bump than the Seagate, and this thing wouldn't recover at all. Tried all kinds of programs to at least get the data off, and it was completely gone. I know that the bump was not WD's fault. That is why I still gave it three stars. However, I think it should have been more durable than that and also should have been able to at least recover some, if not all, the data on it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    External drive was easy to setup and was recognized by my Server 2012 R2 instance right away. Setup as a backup drive for the server and working well.
