Customer Ratings & Reviews

The price is very beautiful. I like the generous capacity at an affordable price. I have purchased several and are using it.

This external drive is the way to go It’s very easy to install and will hold many many games.

Sturdy and solid, and the drive operates as it should.

Needed a new external hard drive - this works great. I've never had issues with a WD hard drive so love this brand. And the price on this for storage size was incredible!

Very good deal from Best Buy on a 8TB external drive. Perfect for my needs, slow to load via USB3, but has sustained faultless streaming of HD movies so far. Bought the 2 year replacement coverage for an extra $20 just in case.

Not bad for storqge but programming included is a bit confusing. One progrqm you have to download and then purchase full versiom and security program doesnt even work.

I purchased this to back up my mac and boy does it deliver. Backed up my computer with ease and still have plenty of memory to spare.

Love this hard drive! It was easy to set up and install. Nothing to it! Lots of storage space at a fantastic price! I would recommend it!

Needed some cheap large capacity external storage for backups. This for the bill and does the job well.

So much storage. Western Digital is my go to for these external hard drives. Easy to use. Hooks up and works. No problems.

WD EasyStore was entirely satisfactory. Bestbuy was satisfactory. The "free $20" credit with Shutterfly was not. Very deceptive, and I do not recommend dealing with that company EVER. (It only honors one credit. If you input a second one, it is GONE. You can't retrieve it nor give it to anyone else.)

I've been using the hard drive for a ps4 extension drive, since 8tb is the max and usb 3.0 min required. It's been great so far.

Good bang for your buck, especially if you can get it on sale. WD is consistently the best cheap external large HD provider between this and the elements series.

These external hard drives contain highly reliable NAS quality drives in them, so for the price (often on sale) they can't be best!

Western Digital hard drives, I believe are hands down the best external drives out there. I owned a 1tb, 2-3tb, and a 4tb seagate hard drives and within 2 years of purchase regretted it when everything was lost on all of them due to different issues with the drives. Ive owned a toshiba ehd wasnt bad, but currently have several WD hard drives, 6 to be exact with the oldest being 11 years old, and never has a single issue with any of them. WD is the only way to go and the price is comparable to any other!

Bought two so I could get rid of the stacks of smaller drives. They take up little space and hold all my current data. I have much more room on desk with just 2 drives instead of 8.

It seems to be a good external hard drive. I have had no problems with it. As some people commented, it is a bit loud when it is working but I wouldn't say that its to the point of being annoying or anything. Just noticeable.

Great product all my files automatically save and are secured yet accessible when needed.

The external hard drive is easy to use, plug and play. With 8T available, there's peace of mind for backing up everything necessary.

Perfect product for external storage, plenty of storage space and easy plug n play system. Highly recommend.
