If you want more games and a fast hard drive for the Xbox One, this is it. Super easy to install, even downloading games from Microsoft to it. I went from 97% full on storage to 3%. It’s a must have for anyone who games

I love this thing. Super fast for a HDD and loads of storage. I use it for my Plex server and home backup, super versatile and great value. Would buy again in a heart beat.

Purchased this for my son for extra storage on his gaming laptop, super easy to install & use! He is very happy with the purchase!

The Western Digital 8 TB hard drive is a powerhouse when it comes to storage capacity. At first glance, it may seem compact, but don't let its size deceive you. This hard drive is a storage behemoth, capable of holding an immense amount of data. One of the standout features of this hard drive is its massive 8 terabyte storage capacity. With such generous space, you can store an extensive collection of files, including high-resolution photos, videos, music libraries, and important documents. Whether you're a creative professional, a data hoarder, or simply in need of reliable backup storage, this hard drive has got you covered. Additionally, the Western Digital 8 TB hard has 2 usb ports to charge your devices on the drive

Works greats. Easy setup. Have 5 tb of photos backup on it.

I use this external drive for my ps5 and it’s awesome. Even tho I can only store my ps5 on this drive and not play them yet until Sony unlocks it, it’s still a great drive for your ps5 and I will be buying another one for my ps4. Tons of space and it’s fast. Western digital did great with this one because the speeds are fast in load time.

great bang for the buck drive if you catch it on sale. The non WD_Black line is cheaper but you get a nice stand here with better cooling fans. I don't hear noise that often as some others have complained, the only loud part is the boot-up. Getting about 240MB/s transfer speed from internal drive to external drive on old gen 6 intel setup using 3.0 USB ports.

Great price for volume. Very quick hard drive and ease of use is amazing

I bought this item to expand the hard drive on mine recently acquired Xbox series X. And it is working like a champ and I am stoked to have the extra eight gigs of storage. The speed is great for transferring the files back-and-forth between my console and this storage device. And playing the older games straight off the device is a nice perk too!

Super fast transfer speed. I’ve had it for several months now with zero issues. Also, it is a relatively small so it does not take up too much space next to my Ps5

Nice size (physical and storage), easy to setup and performs great

really great ssd and it runs pretty quiet I don't see where people say its loud I think they just set it up wrong somehow great storage have most of my games here like cold war, halo infinite and the master chief collection and keep most of my emulations on here as well great external hard drive.

I'm using it on a Tablo to record over air TV. So far it's recording and playing back video like a Pro. Honestly I didn't realize just how large 8T is, I think it will record a lifetime of movies at the present rate.

Fast and convenient! My son bought this for his gaming laptop and it's work flawlessly! The speeds are great and the space is going to take him a long while to fill.

WD hard drive 8GB, its a great addition to my Blue Iris system. I am able to store over a month worth of footage for 9 cameras,vits fast and reliable.

replaced 4tb wd external drive with this one for both ps4 and xbox. I didn't want to at first because the 4th drives don't require a separate power cable and things were nice and tidy, but I ran out of space on both with games. I purchased a 5tb wd black external first, but that was still not enough space. This was my final option and I am content. Don't like having a separate power cord for it, but it seems 5 tb is the highest for the usb powered ones so this has to do. Its 7.35tb as one would expect and it can hold plenty of games. over 119 ps4 games on it now, BUT I see a 12 tb wd black drive and I think i need that one. I have 90% of all my digital games for ps4 loaded and I am almost out of space again. I dont like to delete and download games over again, rather just have them all on the drive to play at any time. Good drive, not loud.

Great speed. Plenty of capacity. Great design. Easy to use.

Best purchases made. I have the 2 tb wd black in the ps5 and I ran out of space and this made the big difference. Get one it’s worth it.

Got for some portable extra storage but for some reason the transfer rates are a little on the slower than advertised side. Moving files from an m.2 drive to this via USB 3.2 was hitting around 85-100mb/s and said transfer speeds upwards of 250mb/s. That was the only reason for the subtracted star. Other than that, a solid storage solution. Would buy again.

Easy to use, multiple ways to connect, huge capacity.
