Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got 32TB for a great price of 150/ per 8TB Great product works fantastic.

I ran out of space on my old backup, so I bought this for the purpose of using it for Time Machine backups as well as backing up my large iTunes files. It has worked flawlessly since I bought it; really does well for the job. It's also very compatible with virtually any system, though you may need to reformat it for a Mac.

Very good backup drive but the current accompanying software download was changed and is very frustrating and difficult to load.

On sale this thing can't be beat. Easy set up and huge amount of space.

I've been using this external hard drive for a number of months. It is slow and hangs up often even with a new laptop. I've used this external hard drive on both an older computer and a new computer and it still has the same problems. I do not recommend the purchase of this hard drive.

Works great. USB 3.0 is much faster than older USB 2.0 WD external drives I have. It is plug and play with Windows 10. It comes with WD disk utilities on it, but I don't use these. I have other real time backup software running. This 8GB WD HD is "air gapped" from my Dell XPS 8920. I use it only for backup of an external WD 4GB HD. I bought it on sale at BB, great low price.

Desperately needed more storage this was reasonably priced and works great

quiet large storage with cheap price. and the speed is also acceptable.

Great speed, quiet, and tons of memory for my video games

nice one fast speed, I use it for my home storage.

I'm using it for backing up my computer. The device install was easy. My one challenge is figuring out how to manage space the WD Back up software uses. But that may just be me not taking enough time to study associated documentation. But it's nice to have all my changed files backed up daily without having to do anything but leave the omputer running at the time I selected.

I needed more storage for my PS4 and found this on sale. Works flawlessly on the PS4. It uses DC power (not a fan of it but it's fine) but it turns itself off when the PS4 is turned off which is great because my old one would stay on until it was manually turned off.

A quick and easy shuck and some kapton tape to block pin 3 and blammo, my server had an additional 8TB of storage to play with. Watch these for sales and grab one for easy storage. The device by itself is great too, stable storage for those who need a little more room but don't have the ability to add the drive in their computer.

Great for backup, easy to setup, and contains the red NAS drive inside.

I bought this 8tb drive to go with my new Xbox one X system as an expansion for the hard drive. The price was 149.00 and was to good to pass up since it retails for over 300 dollars. When in used it helps me to load games faster because of the major storage. It also helps me to travel from one Xbox one to another because my games already loaded up on the hard drive.

Small... travels well..... very well made and easy to use

Great storage, nice speed, easy setup and ease of use!

Picked up this external HD on sale as a door-buster and it's a great value. Speeds are decent and the drive is not too noisy. Does the job well.

I use this drive to back-up data from 6-8 computers. It has performed well. The software that comes with the drive is also a plus. I believe to obtain the software you need to purchase the WD back-up drive that says plus. Or maybe I could be wrong. However, it is worth considering while searching for large backup drive.

I have been using WD external drives for years with minimal problems. This one maintains that reputation. Blazing fast data transfers via USB 3.0, as long as file size doesn't exceed the onboard cache. Some problems with Win 10 'losing' the drive, but that was corrected by connecting the external drive directly to my computer, instead of via my USB hub.
