Customer Ratings & Reviews

In the past WD hard disks have been hit or miss. Some will last only a few months before having trouble powering on! However, this drive is very fast with data transfer, never disconnects from my computer and has tons of storage space.

Good and stable. Although, I'm not a big fan for the auto check sound, is it bearable.

I am in IT, and I have always told people to have backups. This is a great, reliable drive to keep backups. Inside are Western Digital Red/White drives which are known for reliability. I am able to make consistent backups with this drive.

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 . . .

Bought in June, loaded about 3TB of data on it. Unplugged till today, when the drive is unresponsive. Cannot be opened or initiated, gives fata error. Will never buy WD again, do not recommend. Go with Seagate. Moreover, Bestbuy support couldnt even tell me if repair had cost or not till I took it in-person... save yourself some trouble and buy elsewhere and just not this brand/model

I've used this several times to backup most of the data on my LAN. The unit worked without a problem, was not load and didn't become hot. Very happy with the result.

I kept researching this drive but never pulled the trigger on buying it until it went on sale. Keep an eye out, because this drive goes on sale quite often and 8tb for under $150 in a USB 3 enclosure is a great deal for your storage needs.

These went on sale for $160 that means you can have a terabyte of space for only $20 dollars. If someone had told me that 5 years ago I would of laughed at them. When on sale these drives are a steal definitely pay attention to B.B. sales and grab when you can.

This is a great value especially if you are an elite plus rewards member I’ve had very good luck with these western digital drives and this drive presents a great value for holding all of my media for my home media server.

The hard drive was good for the price. Plenty of storage space.

It was very easy to setup. It took a while to copy all 3 internal drives. It also showed some files not copied. Called WD and they quickly told me some operating system files will not copy. They sent me a list of those file. Great service from WD

Bought This Drive On Sale, It was the same price as the 4TB version regular price. Works as expected so far, it is USB 3.0 and a lot faster than older 2.0 and comes with backup software that seems to work although I have not tried to restore from a backup yet

Good amount of storage and it's reasonably quick. The software installs quickly (if you have an interest in using it, there's not a requirement to do so) and lets you run back ups, update firmware, etc. I bought 4 and I'm very happy with the value of them.

Inside is a Western Digital Red Enterprise hard drive. I bought one on sale over the holidays and it was about half the price of the comparable drive without the enclosure. I don't leave it powered on all the time. I primarily use it I for redundant backups.

Hopefully you grabbed one of these door busters was great deal on very large drive.

This is my third WD product and again WD external disk drives never disappoint. Needed larger capacity external drive for daily uninterrupted backups. Best Buy had availability and good pricing.

Purchase, shuck, repeat. The HDD included was a WD White Label. Not a problem for me. Much cheaper than purchasing a WD Red at same density from other vendors. Works well in a NAS enclosure after shucking the drive out of the external enclosure.

Large size, can save tons of files and have been reliable so far.

This external hard drive is easy to set up and start using. It has quiet operation.

Western Digital one of the best external hard drives.
