One of the bigger dinosaurs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this drive to back up data from a 2 TB HDD that's starting to get bad clusters. I opted for the 10 TB size instead of the 8, because it has a faster sequential transfer rate. I've attached a benchmark of an empty drive connected to a Windows 10 laptop, showing a 208 MB/s sequential read speed. Random reads are much slower, less than 1 MB/s. The bottom line is that it takes long time to access all of it. I've been running a WD diagnostic that checks for bad sectors, and after 18 hours it's still only 90% complete. I don't know yet how reliable this drive will be. It seems to have a good heritage, and I'm hoping for the best. But, something as simple as careless shipping or knocking it over while it's powered on could be disastrous. The drive is mostly quiet, but not silent like an SSD. Also, the top of the case gets warm. During the sector checking, I measured 106°F at the top of the case with an infrared thermometer, while the ambient temperature measured 68°F. I've attached screen captures showing the disk's temperature increasing from 42 C to 47 C (107.6°F to 116.6°F) during the sector checking.

The Best!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have bought many WD external harddrives. I use them to store my movie/TV show videos to run on kodi. My 8tb WD My Book was getting full so I had to upgrade to 10tb. I use a Raspberry Pi to run kodi and it runs great. I prefer the EasyStore to the My Book. It seems to be a little faster. I now use the 8tb WD My Book to store my movies/TV shows to run on my plex server on my Nvidia Shield. As you can see, they do it all. I recommend all Wd products. I have not had an issue yet.

Best bang for the buck
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This easystore contains a WD100EMAZ-00WJTA0 drive. I have been doing a full media scan for 6 hours, 50% complete, no problems. For those wondering why Windows only shows 9.09 TB, that is because how ALL drive manufactures rate their drives compared to how Windows see it. Drive manufactures use 1,000 bytes equals a kilobyte were Windows see 1,024 bytes as a kilobyte. At 10 tb, that adds up. check out my picture from Windows. Capacity is 10,000,829,247,488 (9.09 tb). you can see it is 10tb but by allotment, Windows calls it 9.09 This is not a Drive made for being a OS main drive but rather a storage drive. It is equal to a WD red drive but nominally runs 2 or 3 degrees Celsius warmer, not a concern. still runs cooler than my old mybook 2tb external drive.

nice and quiet.....and lots of room...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took me awhile to decide between the WD D10 black 8tb game ready and the Easystore 10tb, the esthetic on the D10 is really nice, I factored in the noise level, since the D10 is a 7200 rpm drive there is going to be distinct noise compared to 5400 rpm and extra 2 terabyte, in the end I went for the Easystore 10tb...I am pleased with the decision, comparing the file transfer speed with 7200 rpm drives in my NAS, there was no difference, I am averaging 100 MBps on this one when copying files through the local network, it only slows down when I am transferring file directly with the computer, it average 80MBps.. which is still fast, I did not experience the slow transfer that others have experience, all in all I am very happy, I have attached this to my Nvidia Shield pro (acting as my other Plex server in the living room) with some of my movie files, so far I have blu ray mkvs as well as dvd mkvs, I am down to 2 terabyte left,and it is also acting as back up for my NAS movie files, I might spring for another one of these, by the way, this is a really quiet drive. I would highly recommend it, and it only warms up a little bit so no concerned there..I enclosed snapshot of the file transfer speed, the 102 MB speed is from NAS via local network, while the 82MB transfer is from pc to drive.

Good storage device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for additional storage of my laptop. It works good. I had taken lots of picture so made lots of RAW files. It took not much time for copying the files. Speed is good. Also noise and heat is better than I expected.
