Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best deal on a hard drive. Plenty of space cant go wrong.

It's worth the price,I like it,I want to use it on my nas

Excellent drive. Very dependable. Easy to setup and load.

Formatted easily for Mac using OS X Disk Utility. No apparent issues with the drive after the first two months of use. iTunes is rather slow to launch, although that seems likely due to the size of the library rather than any issues with the drive itself. Mfr warranty is two years -- will followup if issues arise within warranty period.

Quality Product perfect for storing large amounts of data

Literally does its job, providing additional space for me

I had my own business doing contracting work for other attorneys. This meant I had to ensure two things. First, I never mixed the work-product and confidential documents of one client with those of another, and second, that I did not lose them. I used a laptop for my day to day running around meeting people, doing research, and other work. I used this hard drive as a backup so that I always had everything safely backed up safely at home, both on my home desktop and also on the hard drive. I never lost a document that I was responsible for and I never lost the massive amount of research I had done and would have hated having to redo.

Good storage for xbox. It is a decent price and reliable.

Price was right and chase 10x points made it even sweeter

Its large enough to fit everything i want to fit on there

Was fast transferring from older one. Great for the cost.

We red the bomb. Great drive lots of storage. Great price

I needed the storage space. Right now it is a backup of stuff from a number of smaller external disks. I will get a second one which is a duplicate/clone of this one so everything is replicated in at least two places. If you get a large disk consider what you will put on it carefully because with only one disk on it but if that one disk fails you are in a word toast If half your stuff is on one disk and half on another one and one failes you are only half toast. Plan to backup the stuff on that new large disk somewhere. You can put it on several other disks or a second one of equal size but do NOT put everything on one disk. If you are a Mac user you can assign two disks to Time Machine and it will alternate backups to both disks.

This drive is about half the price of the other WD 8tb drive with the online storage which wasn't a need for us so we grabbed a few of them to consolidate data from a bunch of lower capacity external drives. Paid about 150 each about a month ago. Transfer speed was great. They all had WD Red 8tb drives in them, which cost more as a bare drive than we paid for each of these externals. Only negative is they'er a tiny bit louder than our other drives. Not the constant running sound - but the occasional clicks that it makes during drive activity like copying files to it. They're pretty noticeable pops sometimes. Definitely not a dealbreaker for us but if this is going next to a computer in a bedroom it might be worth considering.

Easy hook up transfer great space and storage not to big

I use this drive to backup my media and it's been great!

i love the wd easy store lots of storage at a good price

The hard drive works well and was a good value. No issues

At the price that Best Buy charged for this 8 TB external hard drive, it is remarkable. The drive works perfectly. I put two of these in my computer and now have at total of 24 TB of hard drive space to play with.

Nice product. Easy to setup. Works just fine with Alexa.
