Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had to back up a 4 Drive Raid array to reuse those drives in a WD NAS Raid array. (Plex server). So I needed 16TB's above what I already had in hand to back up. All went well. These will probably be plugged in to the new NAS as USB additional drives.

This is my 2nd 8tb WD Easy Store usb 3.0 external hard drive. First one I connected to my XBOX to save game info and extras on to it. This one will be for my desktop to save music, pictures, videos, etc. Very happy with purchase !

I bought this just in time. My 2 TB internal hard drive was almost full and was on its last leg. I bought this huge external hard drive and was able to transfer all my iTunes music and movies. Won’t be running out of storage for a very long time

works great as expected. Took a bit of work to get formatted correctly for Mac & PC (exFat). but just needed to download quick formatting tool from WD and was all set. Support was great in helping out as well. Bought a second one that formatted without issue.

The easystore 8TB hard drive is a fast hard drive reaching 170MB/s when writing data to the disk. It's ideal to store large files such as 4K video files made by cameras or large photo files. The hard drive is plug and play so it's ready to go out of the box.

A great price point for an 8gb hard drive. I use this to archive my files. I don't know how well it works as an external. I took it a part and used it as an internal sata drive. It was cheaper to buy it this way, and I got an extra USB cable.

This is my 3rd WD Easystore. I have 24 TB total for my media server and they have all performed flawlessly.

I had to buy a larger hard drive to consolidate my family photos that where spread over multiple hard drives. The sale price on the drive was perfect timing. I have had very good experience with western digital hard drives.

At 8 TB there is plenty of room here to back up photos, movies, music, and any other files deemed important. Can be used on Windows, Mac, or Linux systems. Easy to shuck too if you want an affordable 8 TB drive for a NAS.

I was looking to purchase this for very large seismic data sets. I was prepared to buy one for its value and dependability but then realized it was on sale so I doubled down and bought two. Great product for those with large data swapping and back-up needs.

It is very small and compact. Although it is USB 3.0 my machine takes longer to fetch data from this drive than it does my 12 year old Iomega 1TB external drive. This is the first 8TB drive I have ever owned our used so I do not have anything to compare it to. I suspect all extra large drives move quite a bit more slowly in Window File Explorer.

This external drive is a good GB to retail price purchase. Overall, it works great. The only con it has is that it gets hot. I had to cool it down by placing a laptop cooling fan under it. Other than this, it has no other drawbacks to it. If I ever have a need for more space, I would purchase another WD Easystore external drive again.

Western Digital drives are usually quality stuff. Too early to tell on quality, but the GB / $ on this unit is fantastic.

I purchased this for my wife to replace the 3 TB drive that she uses to back up her documents. Not only did I increase her backup storage, she no longer complains about how slow her backups are. She is really happy with the speed of the drive.

Got at good price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!°°°°°°°°°°°!!!!!!

WD easy share is helping me to share all my files over network. Also I can store up to 7.5 tb files . Performance is avg

This is truly a great hard drive from Westgate. I currently have three of them. I’ve got the 1st one now over a year and half. It’s been running I’d say every single day since I got it and it works perfectly

WD has gotten better. Years ago I used to avoid WD drives in general but since BB stopped carrying most other brands except WD in the local stores I've begun using them again and they seem to be pretty good now.

Excellent product working perfect so fast a little bit noisy but everything fine

Very quick and quiet. Download rate much faster that the previous Seagate I had.
