Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great buy for the price. It was easy to set up, and easy to use. I think the AC power is the only thing they should do away with. If it is supposedly portable; Why isn't it just a plug and play without having to seek a outlet??? This would be a total "Best BUy" if you didn't need an outlet, but I gave it 5 stars anyway.

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!

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.

Great backup external hard drive. Reliable. Easy plug in and use.

Holds a huge amount of information. Use it as a computer backup and to save information related to genealogy.

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

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.

Not much to say about this one. It's a Western Digital external drive. It is still kicking. WD makes the best!

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

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

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

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.

I loved it. I’m using it for my server. Thank you so much.

One of the best affordable options out there to save data.

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.

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.

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.

Bought on sale for $139. Working as expected. Formatted to exFat and attached to nVidia Shield TV for Plex and Retroarch. WD White Drive WD80EMAZ inside the one I got.

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.
