Huge capacity, how will I ever fill it?
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.As stated, this external drive has so much storage. Over triple what I've had in the past. I'm looking for reccomendations on what to store in it. Functionally, the device is perfect. Read/write speeds around 200mb/s, which could be better. I bought this device for $182 after a 15% hard drive trade in discount. Makes this an incredibly good deal! Please don't purchase it for more than $250, this thing goes on sale year-round. Also note that this external drive is shuckable- this means you can take it out of its shell and install it in a 3.5" drive bay, provided you tape off some very specific pins. Follow the guide on r/datahoarder for specific details!

Great chunk of extra storage
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.These massive harddrives were a great buy on sale. They are very responsive even though they only have 5400rpm drive. However, that means they will last longer and generate less heat. I tested throughput and it was not much less than a 7200rpm seagate external, so that means it is limited by the USB3.1 speed.

These records are the best I have ever bought. Acc
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.These WD- easystore 14 TB are the best I have ever bought. According to crystaldiskinfo it is 5400 revolutions. I currently have more than 20 disks running and they reach a write speed of about 170mb / s and a read speed of approx. 200 mb / s. When those that I have bought in other stores are slower being that they are from the same WD brand.

WD Ext 14TB HDD
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.The unit was easy to set up. The capacity of it is a 14 TB external hard drive. I split the drive in half so that I could use the space for movies and pictures. It seems to have a low center of gravity so it stands up easy. The connections with simple and durable. The software made the connection to the computer convenient. I've had the unit on for two days straight and it doesn't seem to even get hot.

External hard drive
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I got lucky because I was able to get this for less than $190 during the black Friday sales, I mainly use it for my playstation gameplay videos when I transfer them to my computer, my pc is a 15+ year ago computer with 1TB so this comes in handy, I'll be looking for a new pc setup next

Drive failed the WD Utils Complete Drive Test
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Normally I'm a fan of WD, but we always test our hard drives before using them. This unit FAILED the Complete Drive Test (full media scan) in the official WD Utilities tool. We ran the test twice, and the drive failed both times. :( Hopefully Best Buy just got a bad batch around the holidays. We will be exchanging the bad drives soon and will test the replacements as well.

Reliable and affordable. Good for external or NAS.
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Really nice speeds. I'm impressed by this drive. I've bought two Red Plus 12TB drives before. Those Red NAS drives are much more expensive than these external hard drives even though they are essentially the same thing if not better. I will never directly buy a NAS drive again because it's really easy to get one of these external drives that have Ultrastar drives in them. I was able to get this one for less than $200 so it's a really nice deal.

Risk in buying this item
|Posted .Bought two of these in-store and brought them home, only to be surprised about the significantly lower storage capacity. Tried to return but couldn’t because it was tampered with previously. The enclosure was broken during the inspection process so I can not even submit a warranty. Do not recommend buying unless you’re willing to take a risk

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs this drive a single unit HD or is several HD units combined to make up the 14tb?

Q: QuestionIs this a 14 TB? The photos above show only 12.7 TB available !!
Asked by SherryS87.
- A:Answer Operating systems usually report drive capacity in a scale based on powers of 1024. However, drives are usually advertised with the capacity quoted in a shorter scale based on powers of 1000, resulting in a larger number. This accounts for most of the difference.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with iMac?
Asked by TONY.
- A:Answer Yes, I bought mine to use as a Time Machine backup for my iMac. As with most external drives you might buy, however, it comes formatted for use on a PC. It does include backup software that can be installed on a Mac, but I would recommend against that unless you aren't interested in using the iMac's built-in backup software. If you intend to use this as a Time Machine backup, it should be reformatted using Apple's Disk Utility, which can be found in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder, or simply click on the Spotlight eyeglass on the right side of the menu bar and type Disk Utility. After plugging the drive into your iMac, it should appear in the list of disks on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Click on the drive and then click on the "Erase" tab, select the format you wish to use and type in the name you wish to give your new disk drive, then click on the Erase button. Time Machine backups need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and if you wish, Encrypted. Encryption provides another layer of security if there's a chance someone might break in and steal your Mac - otherwise it's not necessary. Once it's reformatted, your iMac will probably ask you if you wish to use the disk with Time Machine, so just click Yes. If you plan to use this for mass storage for something like storing your photos or other media, you can use Mac OS Extended (Journaled), or you might want to use Apple's newer APFS format, which provides better file management and faster searching, but it's only compatible with newer iMacs running Mojave or Catalina.
