Customer Ratings & Reviews

my son loves it he has enough room for his music and games

First drive showed errors in Crystal Disk Info, but Best Buy was happy to exchange! Second one is a winner and going strong for months now. Has a good Western Digital Red drive inside that I removed for a PC tower install. Couldn't be happier! Best Buy had the best price anywhere...living up to their name! Great product!

My 4TB external USB drive is getting full. I have almost 10years worth of collected family photographs. Time to get a new one and start the 2018 photo folder. Great drive. It is a RED WD internal drive which means high quality drive, not your cheap ones. So quality is there and longevity and reliability is excellent.

I am just waiting for its arrival. I want to redo everything I had before including gamrs

I puchased this for my PS5 the PS5 only supports up to 8TB of external hard-drive storage but I had to prepare myself because those game are gonna take up alot of space get it while its on sale 8TB is an insane amount of space ill never run out of space

Whatever deal was struck with WD, Best Buy is able to offer the least expensive external 8TB hard drive on the market whenever this goes on sale and this SKU is completely exclusive to Best Buy. Six months in and no reliability or noise issue to report. Expect transfers of around 80 MB/s on a USB 3.0 connection.

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

Works great, gives my son enough space for his gaming computer. Easy to install

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 purchased multiple Western Digital drives over the years. Always reliable and easy to set up. The only reason I keep buying new ones is that I store too much data!

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

Works well. Flawless so far. Easy to use. Nothing sexy or glamorous but works like it should. I just wish it would not come with the proprietary software which makes it a little more difficult to use than it needs to be.

Fast, affordable and lots of memory. Works perfectly for my media files.

Extremely useful! All of my files are backed up with no issues and with space to spare. Excellent value for the price.

Great for go pro videos, music, family picture easy setup decent price

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 value for the money - has been a reliable backup for several devices. Will buy again

I was running out of space so I purchased this external hard drive. When I purchased it, it still came with a Western Digital Red hard drive inside it that uses CMR instead of SMR.

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.

Purchased it to backup my PCs and am very happy with the quality and capacity of this drive. It's truly plug and play, no need for configuration. It's fast and quiet. I highly recommend it.
