Customer Ratings & Reviews

Like the 10 TB easystore I bought during the crazy sale in Feb, this one shucked down to WD White drive (specifically, a WD80EMAZ). This one's going straight into my WD My Cloud ex2 Ultra, spanned alongside the 10 TB and backed up to a set of older MyBooks.

Works great on my PS4. Buy it! You will not regret it!

So far so good...easy to use and did what it promised!

I bought it because the internal drive on my computer died and I as running on my backup. This drive became my new backup and has been running flawlessly. Waiting for the stay at home order to expire to get the internal drive replaced.

Needed more storage space on my PS4.. this was a life saver, now I can install all my games!

I purchased this as part of a deal and am using it as an external storage. So far performance is great though a bit noisy at times especially when it starts. Copied a ton of pictures from other drives and it was really quick. Planning to open it and use the drive inside in a NAS.

Always a great product and very trustworthy drives.

In case you don't know ...shucking is removing the internal hard drive from the enclosure. Strangely, companies charge significantly more for a bare internal drive than they do for these external ones. May be due to the fact that they can use any drive they want inside. Or that their warranties are typically not as long. Either way, after shucking this drive with my fingers crossed for the 8TB Red (NAS) drive as many have found in theirs, I encountered the white label drive instead. Based on the info on the label it appears to be an HGST 8TB Helium Data center drive at 7200rpm w/256MB of cache. So I figured I'd give it a shot since I've had great luck with the HGST 4TB drives in my home server. So far so good. I didn't need to tape off the 3.3v pin, and it's every bit as fast as the 4TB drives I have had running for years. I'll probably pick up another, but this at least got my raid array (10e) completed for the time being. Plus I got a nice external enclosure to use with another drive I had laying around!

Super price for a HUGE hard drive! Western Digital is and has been a solid brand that stands behind what they sell. I don't expect any problems but it is nice to know there will be someone there is issues arise.

This Best Buy easystore 8tb is like fantastic corn. I really love the value for the money and it’s easy to go nuts for a drive like this! This is the type of product there are raids for on Black Friday. Buy three or more and you can have a party.

Works as expected. Great product, Highly recommended.

product as expected. no noise, good performance. recommend it.

This is the best deal in storage. It is simple to use and reliable.

Have been looking for additional storage for my Xbox 1 day 1. Have a 3tb already but no space, been looking for over a year for the right space and especially price...this nailed it...obviously I'll need more space unless the Xbox X comes with 12tb to start....excellent purchase

I've bought a few of these drives to use for video servers and for data backup. No on/off button to hit, the drive comes on when computer is on. The drives are very quiet - you can hear a slight hum if you listen up close but they're a very quiet drive overall.

If you want a lot of storage for a good price, this is the HD for you. The simple design has stayed the same for many years now, but as a simple, single drive unit, nothing fancy is needed. There's a larger 10 TB version available too.

I have not been able to schedule a back up routine on this one yet . . . I had a similar one that I was able to set up a back up routine, however that one went bad within 14 months so had to replace it . . . Waiting for the Geeks to come out to help me get this on a back up schedule . . . Until I get it on a schedule I am not able to rate it for anything . . .

1. CrystalDiskMark to check status of the disk. 2. WD Data LifeGuard to do a full write (erase) to the disk. 3. Windows to do a full format 4. WD Data LifeGuard to do a long self test 5. Re-Verify data in Crystal Disk Info to make sure during all that nothing went bad.

Works great for my PS5, absolutely no issues whatsoever!

Great deal on the price extremely versatile to use both operating systems (iOS & Windows).
