Customer Ratings & Reviews

This item is great for storing data like family photos and videogame data.

I'm a WD drive user since 1984. WD external drives work right out of the box without any issues whatsoever. Just plug it into your computer or device and in a few seconds you're ready to store or retrieve. I own a multitude of WD product - so much so that they should send me a t-shirt. FWIW, I also own a ton of Seagate. WD fail considerably less than Seagate - although Seagate reliability is catching up. I have several 10 year old WD's still working when needed. I have a few other drives that should work...get the picture? Uncontested reliability = WD. Value at the moment = other brands. (For those wondering, they are also shuckable :-)

Does the job that I wanted. Good price. Quite operating device. Was easy to install as all you have to do is connect one cable to your computer and the electrical plug to an outlet.

Editing videos can take up a lot of memory. This 8TB drive will store a lot. Works well. I like that it stands - my other external drives just laid on the desk and seemed to be in the way

These were purchased to back up additional drives I already owned. I was just waiting for a large capacity drive with a good price that had decent reviews. This meet all expectations so far and have had a blast looking through all my digital clutter.

The hard drive is working well although I have only had it for a short while so we shall see how it performs in the long run.

I got this to accumulate all of my digital movies and music, instead of having it on several smaller HD's. Runs great and despite a little lag here and there that could be my PC trying to read it, or the HD itself, I have no complaints about this.

I was running out of space on my two 1TB drives so this drive is used for photos, videos and documents. My other drives will now just be for backups. This is a huge drive and serves my needs. It was easy to set up and it has been working perfectly.

Works great. I have a few some I chucked and some I'm using as externals. If u want to take the hard drive out (chuck) and install it directly in your pc these will not work so easily. The HD has some type of board circuit board that will not allow the HD to spin if it detects power on it. I Googled and found placing a peace of electrical tape over the 2 or 3rd contact terminal will circumvent that protection but it's not for the newbie. Also if you chuck it voids the warranty. Other than this they do what they are intended to do. 8 tbs of storage is a lot of storage unless your mining. Also 2 of them I opened did not have red.

These are excellent drives. I have several of them in use at the moment. When you can catch these on sale they are a great value

Easy to connect and transfer data. Best value for 8TB of storage.

This one is a real bargain Western Digital red and 8 Tbs. I only wished I bought it at the $99.00 price.I thought something had to be wrong with them.But at $149.00 price its still a huge bargain. You can get a lot of music or movies on it.

This is my Third 8TB Easy Store. I have 0 complaints. Cheap, and quiet and they help me increase my media collection. Best bargain around.

I got this for my office server to store my large files. However, the performance is so fast on USB 3.0, that I now work directly out of this HDD, because it is much bigger than my internal HDD. During the first access, there is some bootup time, but subsequently, it is as fast as the internal HDD as far as I could tell. It is quite small for the storage and can be tucked away anywhere . The only con is the requirement for external power, the USB cable does not supply enough power to run it.

This product was great for shucking the hard drive and using it in a Synology NAS. The 8TB WD Red drive was a lot cheaper to purchase this way rather than a bare version,

works great saved my pc from loss of documentation and photos

I use this as a dedicated external hard drive for my PS4. Games are massive now so although I installed a larger drive in my PS4, it filled up quickly. This is a plug-and-play drive and it works flawlessly. It does get quite warm but if my media stand were properly ventilated it probably wouldn't get as warm. It is also pretty quiet which is nice. Overall, this is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone looking for increased portable storage.

Excellent product. Plenty of space. Ease to use.

This external storage works perfect with PS5 to store PS4 games. The PS5 does not yet have the ability to store actual PS5 games on external yet, but we had plenty of PS4 games. Since storage is always an issue with gaming systems, we didn't want to take away the space for PS5 games on the console and this does the job. We had no issues setting it up. Just plug and play. I have used many externals for home and work and have always gotten WD brand. All of them are working still with no issues.

Very plug and Play Easy to use Easy to set up No maintenance
