Great drive for the money. Only WD Drives for me.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good value for what I paid for it. Refuse to buy anything but WD external drives anymore. Have 6 or 7 total. Haven’t had any issues with WD but Seagates have failed. The WD My Book drives seem rather rugged, solid and well built.

Good, but not the same?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have two of these. They are a bargain, but.. . I like NEVER having to worry about space available. I have had good luck with Western Digital drives. Seagate drives, by comparison, are much less reliable. This new purchase behaves differently than the apparently identical drive I already have. The new one is much noisier. It also takes much longer to ‘wake up’ and respond. It seems to go inactive more, though supposedly this is controlled by the computer. Different hardware inside the plastic housing? Seems likely. Well, 4 stars seems about right for this,

Excellent external drives
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Drives come preformatted to exfat as they should with software preloaded. I have used many MyBook drives over the years and they are all excellent external hard drives and deliver the excellent reliability and functionality. You will not be disappointed with any WD MyBook.

Storage for Days
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lots of storage for things you need to save from your PC. The only little annoyance from this is the power brick. (But makes sense since it’s a lot of storage)

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWhat is the lifespan of WD - My Book 14TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - Black? Does the motor go bad after a certain amount of time or is this something that will last?
Asked by Runowski.
- A:Answer This 14 T drive is rather new, so I can't attest to its longevity. I do, however, have several of the other WD My Book drives, and they have been in constant use for a number of years, the oldest probably around 8 to 10 years. I've never had a problem with any of them. They also have a feature in the WD Drive Utilities software that checks the drive and can tell you if there are any potential drive failures.

Asked by Michele.
- A:Answer Different tiers of hdd inside. The cheaper one has a lower quality drive with less warranty. I think the wd my books come with their red label drives.
