Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have purchased these before and they have been used and held up well. They are more expensive now than they used to be but so is just about everything.

This hard drive worked well with my Tablo four-tuner DVR. It handled four simultaneous recordings while playing a movie via my Roku media player without skipping a beat.

Tons of space. Hides well behind a monitor. Take no time to format and install. USB 3.0 transfers quickly. Great addition if you need the space.

Great price! No problems with setup. Fast and quiet.

Great deal on this drive, but even at $20 more, it would be a fantastic deal. Highly reliable hard drive inside the enclosure and part of a strong backup strategy.

Stores everything and then some. I have always had good luck with western digital products.

Was looking for something to store backups from my main computer. Wasn't expecting to get so much storage for such a great price. Easy to set up too.

Works as advertised. Couldn't believe sale price for Christmas. Saved $140.00. Who doesn't like that? All my movies, music and docs in one place, yeah!!

This hard drive is used as a back up to two computers and stores thousands of pictures and many documents. Back up is seamless and set for automatic.

Had them now for over two years running 24/7 and no issues ! I recommend this unit. Beat to wait when they drop the price to $129.99 per unit.

Purchased during cyber monday or cyber week, whatever. Not used yet but seems a good deal

I bought this to use for media. It hold lots of music and videos. Thinking about buying another one to put in the shop! Just plug and play!

Using this item for additional xbox storage space. Works perfectly and allows for more gaming! Sleek style and takes up very little space.

I was debating between this and a Seagate hdd for my xbox one. Previously I had a 5tb Seagate that quit working. I ended up going with western digital because it was quite a bit cheaper and honestly, you can't go woo bgg with western digital or Seagate. I like that this hard drive stands vertical, it includes a power cord and USB. Works perfect on the xbox one, only crazy thing is you have to format it on a computer and then on the xbox. Already that is what I was prompted to do. Just an extra step, after that it works flawlessly.

Just slow write speeds makes alot of noise but hasn't failed on me.

Works great for time machine on my mac! The only bad thing is it is a little loud sometimes because of the mechanical spinning drive!!

The good. These hard drives work well when they do. Bang for buck, it's one of the better deals. These fail less than the Seagates. I consider this model at a higher standard than most other brands aside from Hitachi/HGST. Performance is good. Data speeds are fast as long as you're copying large files. The hardware itself rarely fails. I've only had one hard drive fail hardcore out of 10-12 of these backup drives in the last 8 years. So, I'd recommend this drive. Now for a short story: Ok, so I've bought about 6 of these over the last 4 years. Out of the 6, 4 worked and still work. I bought 4 from BB and 2 elsewhere. I was lucky because I had 2 fail rather quickly. The first one had errors in the copied files when I checked them right after the back up completed. The data on the second one, after 3TB of data was copied to it, disappeard and Windows asked to "repair the volume", which it did and recovered the data. Turning it off then on, it happened again and this time with permanent loss of data. Fortunately, it was only a backup and I just returned the drive to BB and they replaced it with a new one. BB was really good at exchanging both devices with no hassle. Great experience. I highly suggest to buy these hard drives from BB and not other online retailers to avoid handling. The new ones worked great. By the way, on one that I bought which worked fine, the SERIAL NUMBER of the hard drive did NOT MATCH the serial number on the box. That was interesting. I still don't know how to handle this but...I guess the serial on the hard drive matters mostly to WD if problems arise. So...I just thought I'd mention this in case someone out thre experiences a similar situation.

Okay 8 TB at such a low price? You can't do better than that. USB 3.0 for fast transfers and a solid hard drive internally that's not junk. This is a great buy!

This seemed like a great idea and got a good review - - but it doesn't connect with a new computer (same kind, newer model) which makes it basically worthless for actually storing information. If I format it with the new computer - I lose the information stored on it. A sandisk portable connects with no issues.

Very spacious i will never run out of room now. Amazing
