Customer Ratings & Reviews

Worked well. I have since switched to the smaller easystores, since I had one of these die on me (it happens though), and the larger size is harder to store. Also, I would highly recommend taking the extra time to find their old backup software; the new version bloated my computer.

Bought to store all my digital book and video files. Lots of space, especially if compressed videos. Love WD brand and they prove dependable for me

When I first saw the price it was hard to believe. This will be an excellent storage device for my Plex Media Server. and it's a USB 3.0 connection

It is certainly plenty big enough for most applications. And although the larger size means some reduction in seek time, it is adequate for most applications - certainly if using for back-up or archiving. Connecting and installing is simple and easy.

Nice device, easy to bring and stable, the speed is not that fast but good

I've been using it since I bought it without a single issue, excellent product and it's fast on access

Great drive for the price, super fast and reliable. Simple to use, plug in to the power and then your PC/Laptop, it's that easy

This size makes a great storage space for movies and large photo collection.

This is a great drive. I have been thrilled with it. I have noticed that the speeds copying to it aren't as high as I hoped, but I think that is more a function of the devices I am copying from rather than the drive itself. The only cautions I would give are that there is very little cushioning inside the case for the drive so be very cautious with it. If dropped or otherwise harmed, I think you might have the hard drive fail. Also, the drive gets very hot, so you must make sure that the vents around the drive are not blocked and the drive does not overheat...

Massive storage at a great price. Had my teenage daughter setup and transfer files from 3 iphones. Easy to use. Highly recommend it to everyone.

Hesitant to buy a Western Digital drive, as my previous ones died prematurely (over 10 yrs ago). Read reviews and people seem ok with them, so I got the 8TB Easystore desktop hard drive. So far, knock on wood, the drive has performed flawlessly, but it's only been a month. It seems a bit faster than my other 5400 RPM drives, it's quiet and makes little noise when accessing the disk. I reformatted and partitioned it on my iMac. Other people said the drive ran hot, but mine has not, even leaving it on for a couple of days straight. I plan to use it to back up my photo files, so it will not be on all the time once I finish copying everything over to it (about 6TB of files). I wish they'd put the prongs on the power supply facing the other way, because it blocks two spaces on my power strip. I also don't like the lack of an on-off switch.

I couldn't believe the amazing price on this when I saw it online! It's awesome in size and does just what it's meant to do! I'm so glad I got this.

8TB RED DRIVE, AMAZING PRICE! I couldn't believe the price for an 8TB RED drive (inside). So far it's been amazing 2-nd master backup of my raid.

These units are great. They use the WD Red drives in them and they work wonderfully with my Ma Pro as a time machine and a secondary network drive.

I use it to back up video files. It comes with a backup program so you can schedule your backups. I love the sleep mode in the drive which keeps it from running continuously. Highly recommended especially for large files backup and storage.

It's very convenience to backup a lot of files into one big capacity (8TB)

These external hard drives are great, affordable and reliable. I've purchased multiples already and they have been fantastic!

Couldn't beat the deal on this external hard drive. Large amount of storage to get the job done. fast and easy to set up, just plug and play

I needed an external hard disk for backup. This should do me for a while. Speed, capacity, and reliability have all been what I needed.

Great item , works good as intended a little to big but 8T space is great
