Great transfer speeds, large storage, great price. Nuff Said

We needed it for our game storage it's work out to be a great purchase

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

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.

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

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've had this for about a month now and so far I have no problems with it. The setup was very easy, just connected the storage to my PS5 and the system was able to pick it up automatically. I was able to transfer all my games onto the storage. I currently have 16 games and still have plenty of space for more. The only thing I notice is that it will get a bit loud but I'm not one to get bothered by it.

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.

Fast and reliable backup drive with plenty of space to cover future backup needs.

my son loves the storage for his Xbox games very fast. A little loud but still a good buy I think

Compatible with my Xbox one, great memory storage, cool looking not just a plain box

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

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.

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

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.

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.

HAVING EXTRA 8TB STORAGE IS ALWAYS GOOD. TAKES 5~10 SECOND WAKE UP THE DRIVE & ACCESS..BUT NOT TO BAD.

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

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.

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!
