Customer Reviews for Western Digital - WD Elements 14TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive WDBWLG0140HBK-NESN - Black

HDD scan results are good. It took more than 26 hours to see if a load occurred during the scan.
The product is 7,200 rpm, so when used in nas, temperature management should be thoroughly carried out. Intermittently, unusual sounds occur, and it bothers me.

Good Product, just too active and a bit loud.

Overall I'm happy with multiple WD I've been using the only problem is they're very loud, and they are always working even if I'm not using them, they sometimes vibrate my desk lol
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good amount of storage for the price. Fairly fast file transfers. I have another older version of this drive that has not had any corruption issues in the 3+ years I've used it. My one wish is that this could draw power through the USB like the WD passport drives, so I didn't have to deal with another power cable. At least the power cord has been trimmed down from the older version, so it doesn't overlap adjacent outlets on my power strip.

I have had previous WD external HDD and very happy with my purchases. High quality product, tons of data storage. If I was to have a do over I think I would of purchased two smaller drives, maybe 8 TB to have double backup of all my images, but still very happy with my purchase.

Noisy, clicking all the time..even when I'm not accessing it (is it communicating with the Cloud?). Sounds like the R/W heads are too close to the disk...
