The overall design of the drive is a copy and paste of their smaller capacity models (both USB 3.0 and 2.0 varieties) within the Easystore lineup. With this kind of space, you can store so much content and keep up with modern formats like 4K. However, if you are a professional who depends on this kind of space for their editing projects (for achieving but not live editing as SSD would be better for live projects), storing, and general archiving of files, or even an enthusiast looking to build the ultimate media server, this is a perfect option.

One of these is Western Digital’s (WD) new 14TB Easystore, an external USB 3.0 with more than enough space for your modern needs. Those looking to get a headstart on their archiving and backup needs have a great opportunity with 10-12TB drives coming down in price, and now with 14TB options starting to do the same.
