Customer Ratings & Reviews

This device has backed up my computer and saved room on my hard drive . If you are a gamer this device is for you and you could download so many games to your hearts content . It works as described and no issues to report. I love it worth the money.

Massive storage for games, photos, files, and back ups...I ALWAYS back everything up...works well for the purpose that I bought it for ...and they've gotten much less expensive over the years...ALWAYS a plus+++ and it's WD

Great product. Easy to set up and use. I am a photographer and need large storage for pictures. This easily solves the problem!

Easy to use, shuckable if you're interested. Some in a NAS, all have run great as long-term drives.

Turned an old 500 mB laptop to a new 8TB monster ready to handle the big jobs.

This provides the extra storage I need and saved me from needing to purchase a new computer. It was extremely easy to set up.

The Western Digital easystore 8TB external hard drive works as described and as intended. If you need more space, whether it is for backing up important files or storing media, or both, this should do the trick for sure.

This is a huge external hard drive at a great price. 8 terabytes is a ridiculous amount of storage (to me, at least). I've only had it for a couple months, but it seems reliable.

Working well. Backups run without fail. Size makes placement easy, but runs a little warm so ventilation must be considered.

This was a great buy. The price was also something I couldn't pass up. Excellent for photos, music, documents and so much more. I don't have to ever worry about losing my data when its being backed up by such a great product.

I bought this drive because I heard that there was a WD Red drive inside. Long and behold there was. The drive is really quiet but it gets hot when under load. I would recommend putting a fan over it. Plus, you'll need to reconfigure it so that it doesn't go into sleep mode so frequently.

Great External hard drive, I'll save all my pictures here. No issues found on this HD.

Wonderfully fast and reliable drives. Perfect for holding a ton of games on a console or being used in a file server with a quick shuck. If anything the only complaint would be that they do get a little toasty in the enclosure, especially if you're hitting them pretty hard for extended periods of time.

Simple install, just make sure to allow all permissions when doing the install or you will get stuck at 80% for eternity If you dont allow permissions and you do get stuck on the 80% windows key R and type the command appwiz.cpl amd look for the application. Click delete and reinstall with permissions

This is my third 8TB easystore purchase. I also have four 4TB easystore drives from Western Digital. This latest acquisition is Excellent in Performance and Reliability. As are all my previous WD products. I have yet to have a drvie failure or any other problems. I very much recommend this product. You shall not be disappointed.

Great unit for storing thousands of videos and photos. Good price too. Even cheaper with my 10% member's birthday reward!

The size of the drive and the price I paid make this a crazy deal. Add the fact that I have yet to have any serious issues with Western Digital drives, instant purchase.

Pros: 8TB is plenty of space for backup storage. The drive is quiet and doesn't take much desk space. This drive requires a separate power connection unlike some external drives which are powered through the USB cable. Cons: The included USB cable is fairly short (only about 3 foot long). The hard drive speed (5400rpm) causes it to take some time to store a large file.

For use with windows and iOS. To copy files off other HDs. Formatted the 1st drive, but the drive would not be recognized by either the iMac or pc (iOS and windows disk utility would recognize but I was unable to get the drive active). Returned, no questions asked. Second drive works well

I wanted something to backup my important pictures and files. This fit the bill with large capacity and USB 3.0 speed.
