Easystore drives are performing very well, so far. Using them for music collection and backup. Grduated from 2 TB drives to the 8 TBB to insure enough room for collection.

My main reason for purchasing this drive, was the reliability of WD drives. The fact it had an enterprise level drive inside was the deciding factor. You may or may not get one of those drives inside, but either way, you get massive, quiet storage. This is not a drive for speedy writing or access, it's for data archiving, and using for streaming ONE movie at a time. I am breathing alot easier, knowing that I have all 3 of my 5tb drives archived on this one 8tb. Yes, I know that 3 of those drives = 15tb, but they aren't full yet either. Anyway, back to the point, if you need a reliable drive with tons of space, don't hesitate to buy this. It's a solid purchase. Did I mention it's very quiet?

I've run into some problems with the application that it comes with. It constantly opens the admin Ui to ask permission to make changes on the computer. It also occasionally keeps the computer running and making noise after the computer has been put to sleep.

Its fast, its simple to use. I use it to hold backup copies of programs, of movies & home movies and I am very happy with the performance and the room I have on it!

My computer and external hard drive has a capacity of 2tb. After 5 years the storage on both were full and the computer was running slow. The easystore has a capacity of 8tb and was easy to self install. Now I have capacity to spare which should take me 10 plus years to fill.Great price on black friday

Very small footprint, quiet, instantly recognized by windows 10, and a brand that has never failed me. Was surprised that the Light just blinks.... all the time...whether I am using it or not.
But I ready that this normal. Would buy again.

I purchased the 8tb hard drive to backup my computer as well as provide storage for my Plex Server. So far everything runs smoothly and the backup application that was provided is simple to use. I highly recommend this product if you're looking for a simple external hard drive with a lot of space.

Great backup storage. The easy store is easy to use like the name implies and it was priced right when I bought it on sale here at Best buy. Have not had any problems with it and I would buy another one in a heartbeat

Great for backup. If you have lots of GoPro footage (that takes up a lot of room), this drive provides enormous backup space and it's so affordable! Western Digital which makes it more reliable than most, means I can save important files without worrying about running out of room on my laptop.

I struggled to choose which external HD I wanted, but it came down to personal preference. I can't believe, I transferred all the files from my old external hard drive onto this one, plus files from the computer and there's still a ton of room for more! My computer actually runs a lot better and faster since I removed files and put them on the WD-easystore!
