Review: Great WD140EMFZ drives, easy to set up, huge storage in a single drive with huge potential uses... - I bought 2x 14TB HDD for £190 on desertcart Prime Day sale as a upgrade to my home server (and backup server) storage. Each machine was running a 8TB Toshiba, 4TB WD and 4TB Seagate. Intention is to eventually replace one of the 4TBs from each machine. But for now, they are running plugged into the USB ports. The drives arrived safely boxed and plugging in and switching on was very easy, with no drivers required. I reformatted them and copied the data from one the 4TB drives over. This was particularly painful and took about 2 days over the USB interface, achieving around 36MByte/s when I was checking which wasn't really USB 3.0 speed but more USB 2 speed. Though this could be down to my ageing servers rather than the drives. The drives themselves ran with relatively little noise, I'd say there were quieter in the enclosure than my Toshiba 8TB drives were inside my PC cases! The drives themselves did get quite warm, but not hot, certainly less warm than the Toshibas (though those did run hot) Once these bed in for a few more days and I've copied my data across, I will test my next plan and update the review accordingly... Update 20 Oct 2020: Having opened up the case, the drives are 14TB WD140EMFZ drives. I've "shucked" the drives out and attached them directly to the SATA connectors on my PCs. This has then yielded the full potential of the performance of these drives. I've sequential read of around 190MByte/s transfer speeds now which is pretty damn good considering it's in a 5 year old PC. Perfectly adequate for a PC storage drive or NAS drive. Random Read/Write is pretty bad, but in this age, spinning disks really are not the solution for such operations and I suggest you get yourself a cheap SSD for that sort of usage. Update 17 Nov 2020: These drives have been running flawlessly for a month now. My backup server had a PSU failure and upon replacing PSU, the drive (and others) carried on working falwlessly. To answer a comment. These drives when shucked out are exactly the same as form factor and data and power connectivity as any standard SATA internal 3.5" drive. screw holes etc are all in standard places. Update 23 Apr 2021: These drives have now been running for 6 months. I've upgrade my backup server and now both machines are running 24/7. Both 14TB drives still seem fine with currently no indications of any issues. Hopefully, touch wood this will keep going this way for a long time...
Review: Superb drive - For the size the price is excellent. I copied 16TB across from 2 Macs in 1 day. So speed and data reliability is excellent. Comes with Acronis which was a pleasant surprise. You do need the WD drive connected to use/configure Acronis. Overall superb drive for all my backup data.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good fast, easy to use external drive
*by L***T on 24 May 2026*

I'm very happy with this drive. Cloud storage wasn't working for me, and this is a perfect and cheaper solution. Quiet, capacious, and speedy file transfers. Plug and play, everything was smooth and easy. I backed up 15 tb in 6 hours. I have spent a year trying to do this on the cloud, and still hadn't finished. Synchronisation is also much simpler. If you have redundancy on your external drives (at least two copies of everything) if one drive fails you just replace it.
