No longer come with white lable version of WD NAS drives like in older versions not Best Buys fault. But will stick with red label version from now on.

Easy to set up, small foot print drive. Reformatted for Mac - no problems, fair price

Great external HD with USB 3 and 8 TB of space. Great sell price at Best Buy.

I had three external hard drives. The first two were either very difficult to use or would not work at all. This one however, is neither of those things. I simply followed the directions that came with the drive and, it was up and running. I used Microsoft file history to create the back up and it started working immediately. Great product.

Stores all my music. Works great and I have more room now

I have purchased these hard drives before, and I haven't had any issues with them yet. It does what it says, large capacity, fast transfer speeds, portable, and if you need to you can use as an internal hard drive (Reference YouTube for instructions, at your own risk) so far, Best Buy has had the best deals on these drives. I will buy these drives again and I would reference these to my friends and work.

I only buy these when they go on sale and I shuck them for use in my NAS. The first couple I got a few months back were "white label" drives but performed similar to Reds. I bought six during this sale and they were all actual Reds, and as expected, they scream. Obviously this violates my warranty but at essentially half the price of a non-external Red, I can afford to buy a couple of spares.

Western Digital drives have always been reliable for me. Plug and play. I would recommend using the WD drive utilities software to remove the built-in sleep timer if you are doing long transfers. A good value. I recommend it and would purchase again.

I am using this on a Mac. Lots of storage for a great price. Easy to format and set up.

The western digital external hard drive is a great way to auto backup your Mac sand Pc computers. The backup software worked seamless with both operating systems.

use this to store all my footage for our youtube channel saga garage. check us out https://youtu.be/i2Y4RKFFu9Y

Works as expected. Using in a NAS (just an old laptop running OMV). Maxes out a gigabit connection. Had to format to exFAT

I am quilter and enhance my quilts with embroidery. I have many designs from many different vendors. The external hard drive stores and acts as a back up for my designs. In addition, it does the same for the thousands of pictures I have of my kids, grandkids and projects.

Got this drive. Like my other WDs works real good, quiet and fast

My son soooooooo needed this for his video storage for his vlogs. It helped him so much!!

Great drive, especially when on sale. Used WD Drive Utilities to test the drives and had no problems. Good speed.

This 8tb External Hard Drive is a perfect addition for the Xbox One. It's USB 3.0 connection transfers data quickly. Great Price. I would recommend this product.

I bought 2 for my gaming systems. This is a Powered Hard drive and great for meeting the needs of anyone looking to backup Games from an Xbox 1S. Note: Updates may take longer after games are moved because you are backing up at the speed of the USB transfer rate and not just speed from Internet to console. Light on front is constant when on and blinks when in stasis/ idle mode.

Excellent capacity for the cost!!! You can't beat the cost for the drive inside.

I've used WD hard drives before and, even when they eventually fail (and they all will), they stand behind their guarantees. And the Geek Squad is a great back up to that as well.
