Customer Ratings & Reviews

good quality drive, simple setup. included software was junk but easy to remove.

Love WD hard drives and have been using them for years. Love the form factor and doesn't take up space on my desk. Plug and play with plenty of storage space to last me for a while.

Very quiet external hard drive and seems to run quite cool despite the enclosure not having an internal fan. Since it is a Western Digital product, the WD freeware version of TruImage software works with it!

Keep in mind the warranty is voided if you do this, but it works as an internal drive as well. I broke open the case without an issue and plugged these into my server. I have had these for almost a year and no issues yet.

Made by Western Digital which I have used for years, but this was a new model so I was not sure when I purchased, but it worked great right out of the box and I use it every day since it arrived with no problems.

I bought this WD Easystore External Hardrive to move data off of my laptop and desktop. It is easy to use and is well built. Just plug it in and drag and drop your files!

I am using this as just a backup of my data and it does what I wanted it for. I can store all of my data and still have plenty of room. When I was transferring data to the storage, I was getting around 30 to 50MB so it wasn't that fast, but good enough.

Was starting to get my 4tb full, this is a great upgrade since it took a couple of years to fill the 4tb version of this hard drive, so it will probably take a couple more years to fill this one, by then the next version or 2 will be out to reupgrade.

The Western Digital EasyStore 8TB external drive is a great external drive. Inside is a Western Digital Red 8TB drive. If you are looking for an extremely FAST drive, this may not be the best choice, as it is a 5200 RPM drive. However, At this price it is a great TB/dollar deal and the enclosure is solid. There is no fan to cool the drive, but as it is a Red drive and 5200RPM it does not get that hot.

My husband needed this to expand the space on his ps4 and it works like a charm

This is a good solution for backing up a computer or adding on for HTPC. Easy plug and play with lots of head room for a small library. Schedule automatic backup for important data.

What a great deal this was for 8 TB! I should have bought 2 of these . Now I have more than enough disk space for storage and my desktop runs much faster. Easy setup ...plug and play. I highly be recommend it.

Very good product. With USB 3.0 the write speed is adequate for an external drive. My only issue and reason for not giving 5 stars is that no matter what I do, no matter what settings I change, the drive is constantly going to sleep. It seems to be more related to Windows 10 than to the drive, as it doesn't do this with my Linux machine.

These are great for my server and they seem for work without any issues. Inside they are all WD-white drives but they used to be WD-red. Other than the red/white label the only difference I can tell is the white drives have a bigger cache.

Works as expected. As usual, only has about 7.2 TB available. Does not have too much preloaded software. I only use directly, and do not use the preloaded software, so cannot comment on how that works.

When it comes to reliable and long-lasting storage, you can count on WD. I don't work for them, but have always used drives from WD - for reliability they are king. My data is too valuable to trust some of the other brands on the market.

These are great drives especially when you can catch them on sale for $149. Certain ones come with WD red NAS drives inside that cost more without the enclosure. You’ll need to google it to find the info. Overall it should be a large dependable drive.

Great quality drive. Passed all the tests I performed on it. Red drive inside.

These are excellent hard drives, using nas grade hard drives within the enclosures, I have purchased 11 of these over the last couple of years, and every single one of them is rock solid, 100% health with zero bad clusters visible to SMART

This device loaded up with no set up and took all my games without hesitation.
