Customer Ratings & Reviews

I loved it. I’m using it for my server. Thank you so much.

One of the best affordable options out there to save data.

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

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

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.

Easy to store and backup and fast. Love the size i can place it anywhere without it disturbing me

Its straight to the point. Plug in and start using. Really fast, lots of storage. Perfect to backup tons of photos videos music etc.. love it

This hard drive works very well, lots of space and boots up quickly.

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.

Bought it to make home storage network. It's fast and working great. Just like what I needed.

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!

Turned an old 500 mB laptop to a new 8TB monster ready to handle the big jobs.

Easy to set up and use. Size is compact so fits office well.

Great drive that hasn't had any issues. Easy to install.

Works very well backing up my computer. Easy to set up and use.

8TB right out of the box. Found by both a MS Windows and CentOS systems. Data transfer slightly faster than earlier WDC drives.

Easy plug and play, external powered, USB harddrive. If you want on site external data storage this is pretty much everything you could ask for. Also good if you want to transfer data between computers without the need for cloud storage.

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.

I like the glossy, smooth look of the WD easystore 8TB external hard drives more than the WD Passport version. The price was better too for what I thought would have been the same quality. They measure approximately 6.5” H x 2” W x 5.5” D so are about the size of a small, thick book. They are bigger than a portable hard drive and must be connected to an electrical outlet to power it, unlike the smaller My Passport which is USB powered. I like the capacity and the price per TB is much better than a typical portable hard drive. The Bad I have connected the drive to an electrical outlet and it has failed to power on. I made sure the cord was firmly seated in the drive and in the wall outlet but it didn’t power on. I tried unplugging it and plugging it in again a few times and sometimes it powers on. This is disconcerting! I’ve never had this issue with a Western Digital Passport. I wonder if the Best Buy easystore versions are made to the same quality standards.
