Brandname TRUST...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a Western Digital device... what else can I say? I have WD external hard drives that date back before the turn of the century that still work today. I have never owned any WD hard drive that caused me any heartache OR made me wish I never bought it in the first place. I have never had to return a WD hard drive for any reason. * * * I might have been lucky so far, and probably jinxing myself with this review, but I completely trust WD to sell me a quality device that fits its advertising and that will serve me well for years. * * * Your mileage may vary...

EasyStore 8TB - Easy Choice for Mac
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After years of using other external hard drives (Seagate, LaCie, OWC builds, even other Western Digital) this has become the most reliable backup drive we have used so far. It reformatted for Mac easily, mounts always from the attached drive or anyone from our local network and has huge storage for what stunned me as a low cost of $159 when I purchased it. (Price seems to vary as I went back within a week and it was over $259 again but even at full cost is a great deal.)

Great hard drive at a great price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price for an 8TB drive. I use it solely for backup purposes and it is not actively plugged into anything. Regardless It is sturdy and easy to use.

Great hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice large reliable hard drive! So far so good. I use it as intended as an external hard drive but I believe many people like to pull the drive out and throw it in a PC. It works well for my use case.

Works Good - Depending On Your Needs
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you simply looking for a drive to manually transfer files from your computer to the drive for backup you should be okay. But if you want automatic backup and you are not tech oriented you are going to have a hard time getting this drive setup. It comes with NO user manual in the box. The tiny foldout pamphlet that is included (with print sop small I could barely read it with a 6X magnifier and my reading glasses) has a URL to a page that SUPPOSEDLY has a manual but it does NOT! A quick Google search turned up an online PDF manual that I downloaded. This was not much help however, because it had instructions for software that is supposed to be on the drive but is NOT! The manual tells you how to setup WD software but in reality you are going to be using Acronis True Image For Western Digital software. I had to jump through several hoops to figure out how to find it for download and then find a manual for using this software with this drive. Much more difficult and confusing than it needs to be. After several hours I finally got it all setup and it now runs my backup scheme on my schedule. And it does so in the background without slowing my PC down at all, so bonus points for that. Western Digital used to be a leader in the field of digital drives and storage but sadly this is not the case anymore. If you are looking for a simple drive to just manually backup files and folders there are cheaper alternatives out there. If you have more technical needs like automated backups on a schedule there are products out there that are easier to configure and won't cause you to have to make multiple Google searches to find everything you need. Sorry Western Digital, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND this product.

Easy to install
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Couldn't have been easier to install. Plug it in and it takes care of everything. It puts easy to use software on your computer. You can tell it what to bsckup and how often. 8TB is tons of space.

Great storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have about 10 of these ranging from 2 TB to 8 TB, and use them to store/backup RAW photos as well as processed images. They work well, store a ton, and I've never had one fail (knock on wood).

Great value per terabyte
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Able to reach 165MB/s on continuous read and write on a USB 3.0 connection, these drives are incredibly fast for data archiving purpose or for adding storage to the Xbox One and PS4 family of consoles. Fanless, quiet, uses external power of 12v/2A (wall wart design does not obstruct bottom receptacle when plugged directly to an AC wall receptacle) and designed to stand vertically. You will risk overheating if you lay them down horizontally and then stack something on top of it, like another WD easystore, as there are no vents on the broad sides of the plastic housing. Model reviewed are for boxes labeled "DCM: MGBJRCK", are a Product of Thailand, and contain drive model WD80EFAX.
