Customer Ratings & Reviews

Large Storage at a Reasonable Price When on Sale. Noise levels are reasonable, and I am happy with the transfer speeds .

Great price! No problems with setup. Fast and quiet.

Good HD for storing games. Easy hook up. Lots of game storage.

I used to purchase Seagate drives only but am finding that they fail at a pretty high rate. Over the years I 've had 6 or 7 die and lost data. The WD drives don't seem ot have that problem and the price is very competitive.

I've bought about 20+ of these (yes, literally twenty or more drives) and they're incredible. Never had a single one fail. The drives are whisper quiet, small enough to throw into a corner, and makes it easy to head to your in-laws or parents and back up their data and haul it home for an offsite backup. I highly recommend these drives to ANYONE looking for some serious portable store. If you're like me you'll find yourself collecting these every time they go on sale.

Excellent Product ! Excellent Product ! Excellent Product !

Purchased this to replace a 4TB MyBook. The 8TB Easystore is more responsive and transfers files faster than the old MyBook. I'm very pleased with the 8TB Easystore drive.

Pros: great price when on sale, no issues out of the box, quiet Cons: none, does what it is supposed to do

I needed space, and alot more space, and this device provided the needs. It's no SSD, but if you consider how much a 80gb hard drive used to cost, This is a bargain you can't go wrong with.

Drives are great stand alone Personal Clouds but if you are building a NAS, you can shuck the drives out and use them in your NAS. They are apparently, WD Red Drives with TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) from Thailand with 256MB Cache. At Half price on sale, You could save a bundle while building your Media Server or Personal Cloud,

Got this to expand my old computer that was full and running terribly. Works good for that purpose although at times can be a little slow to access.

I use it for my Xbox one and it holds all my games and apps.

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

No issues. Transfers at 120mb/s on 3.0 to sata. 60mb/s on network transfer. There is no reason not to have a backup of everything on your PC. 8tb is more than enough space for most people. Buy 2 because HDD's fail. Quality is average. Definitely not a drive you can drop. The drive inside is a standard HDD which you can take out of the shell. This will void the warranty but its cheaper than buying a standard drive of the same size.

Was easy to transfer all my files over. It's quieter than the last one I bought, tona of storage, 8tb for under $180.

Very simple and easy way to back up data. This was the best option for 8 gigs and got it at a great price during the holidays!

Good storage, reasonable price, does what it's suppose to, I use it to storage monthly image backups of my desktop and laptop

We use this WD Easystore for backups for three computers: two desktops and one laptop, which we use in different ways for different projects. This Easystore External HD takes care of all our needs to protect and save our work, and we can use different backup programs for saving. The HD is swift, easy to use, quiet and it performs perfectly. We highly recommend this WD Easystore as an extrenal HD we know you will be happy you purchased.

I needed to expand my backup storage, these 8tb WD drives were ideal. Never imagined hard drive prices as low as $20 a TERABYTE?

This is an excellent and reliable USB drive. I use it to store photos, videos and as a backup device. Highly recommended.
