Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works as advertised and is a great affordable option for storage. 4 stars instead of 5 because it's not cutting-edge with the sleekest design nor fastest read-write speeds. But it gets the appropriate job done for the price point.

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.

I have been using WD for longer then I care to say <aging myself> but this is a workhorse.. if your looking for a drive you can set up and forget about, this is for you..I now have 3 of them and keep everything on them

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.

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

Very easy to use. 8 terabytes lets me back-up everything I have, with room to spare. I have always had good experiences with WD hard drives,

Really pleased with this external HDD. It's fast, quiet, and comes with a decent warranty. Not to mention, it's cheap for 8TB (and a high quality drive inside).

Assuming you don’t want a wireless backup hard drive, this is the best bang for the buck. We almost bought the 14 TB version, until we realized that oddly enough, two of these (8 TB) combined were about $20 less than than a single 14 TB. This is counter-intuitive, as that means I’m getting 16 TB for less, and usually the bigger package is the cheaper one, but not this time. Onto the actual hard drive: no complaints. It’s super easy to use. It does what we want it to. It does its job.

Great price for so much storage. Easy to use and exactly what we needed to back up my parents computer.

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.

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.

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

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

Got this at 139.99, so far best deal, using it to store data. So far no issues. The drive is quiet and fast with USB 3.0 connection. Would buy again if needed.

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

Works as expected. Not too loud. Pretty slim and fits most places

Plug it in and it Works! Enough Storage for Pictures for ever! USB 3 alows for reasonable transfer rates. So nice to be able to put everything in one place!

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.
