Customer Ratings & Reviews

so far so good with no issues whatsoever. WD is not known for reliability issues so it's good value for money if you get this cheap

This seemed like a good value at the sale price for 8TB. From my understanding, the innards are a WD red drive, which is high quality.. Hoping it lasts a long time

I connected this unit to my Synology NAS server as an extra backup. Enough space to currently back up my data 9 times. A very good price for lots of storage

Great hard drive. Works just as intended. Easy to install, backup automatically. Get this on sale and you cannot go wrong. The Easystore edition is only at Best Buy.

Plug and play ready to store your stuff. WD stuff has been dependable to me, haven't had one fail yet and have been using for years, this one is a little noisy though.

Excellent value, fast hard drive. A little tricky to format for Mac, but working well!

Plug and Play - works well with Windows 10 environment. Initial access sometimes is a little slow if drive is idle for a longer period. Overall has been reliable.

This drive is easy to use, has great storage capacity, and makes backing up data less tedious. I liked it so much I bought an additional one for a relative.

This works well to back up my video editing projects.

Fast, dependable hard drive at a great price. Plenty of storage space for my needs. Works great and highly recommend.

There is so much space on this drive, will be able to backup computers, phones, tablets as well as camera photos, music and more. So far no problems experienced.

So far, I am getting good drives (8,10,12 TB) and bought them over the time. I also bought one 8TB from Amazon beside Bestbuy. They are all running great! I took out 3 of them out from the enclosures since if something is going wrong, I couldn't read it anymore when connected directly to sata on my mobo or other external reader. I think it is the matter of block writing format that WD USB enclosure is using. -12 TB I left it out as cold backup for my photography -10 TB as hot backup for my photography. I also put my daily files to the drive. -8 TB as my Linux drive for steam games and software application -8 TB with original enclosure as media files -8 TB unused for now These drives are quite. Good for backup, storing active games installation files, media etc. Whenever I need to edit my photos I move them to my NVME or regular 2.5" SSD and move them back after my edit. The curse of having large raw files from my mirrorless camera, you need large storage. I am planning to buy a 14TB or/and 16TB soon this week. I still have a lot of 500GB,1TB,2TB, 3TB and 4TB drives around from Western Digital, Seagate, Iomega. So far out of 15: -2xSeagate. One 5TB portable I purchased failed spectacularly in just short few month. The 500GB is running great. -2x Iomega. One 1TB failed around 10 years ago. I think one of them is still running but I left it is collecting dust. -The rest of the drives are Western Digital and they are all still running good with only 1/10 which is a 3TB failed after 3 years. Some of them are over 10 years and still running. It is crazy. -The last one I couldn't remember the brand but I gave it away. I wish I am getting red drive but I learned recently WD using SMR for most of the drives I purchased which is a let down. As long as they are not failing I am happy.

It's a drive. WD has done a great job of brining this down to the affordable level. Notice that it does require both a power and a data cable (as compared to some smaller drives that can run entirely off USB). This seems to like one USB port more than another on my laptop. So if you're getting less than ideal transfer speeds, try another USB port. At these prices - there is no reason not to back up!

works as it should ,easy plug and play no problems

I've used WD drives for backups for years. This one was no disappointment, either. It gives me lots of space for plenty of backups for a pretty good price!

Quick writing and loading! Good small size and sleek design.

This is a great drive with a HUGE amount of space. I like the reliability of WD drives. I've never had a WD drive fail—unlike other brands.

These hard drives are speedy, reliable, & spacious. Bought two so I will have a backup of the data on one on the other. Caught a good sale!

Great value and has been extremely reliable to date. Best Buy was very competitively priced.

I did a small research about the easy store and found out that the HD inside of them is the $300 WD RED harddrive , this is a premium HD, it Has a power outlet and a usb outlet , but it will turn off when you turn the device off , no need to plug it off the wall , it is working fine with my ps4 for now , just plug it in and ps4 will do the rest , i had the WD my passport 4 tb before it and it failed after one year if light use , so i wanted to try this , i will updating my review soon , in case something new happened ,
