Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to use and reliable. I use this to back up all my important folders, photos and music. I then put it into my safety deposit box at the bank so I am not in fear of losing any of my important folder as ever.

Seamless storage addition, ideal for archiving and backups. The 8tb of space holds quite a lot of data. WD software makes it easy to tweak things, such as turning off indicator lights.

Plenty of space and at a nice price. A great bargain.

Great product it has a lot of storage and the price was good

I bought this as a birthday gift for my Mom. She needed this to consolidate all her tiny hard drives into one hard drive and this did the trick. Plug and Play and transferring were a charm.

The time came when I had to finally get serious about backing up all my important files. Over the years WD had not let me down. I know it sounds like a lot of storage, but really.. by next year I will probably need another one. ;O)

Excellent for storing large files and lots of them !! Plenty of space and a 2 year warranty. I was able to backup several smaller drives to this one quickly and easily. As with any file archive, always keep at least 2 copies.

You can't buy an in the box 8TB drive for this price so I bought this one (3rd one) and shucked it. Installed it in my desktop for additional storage. It wasn't the red drive but the white. Works great.

I like best buy best customer sport help me find best product...

This device has a nice WD red NAS drive inside. Worth the money.

Great Storage Drive, very quiet and very stable. Size is nice too.

It takes a bit of work to get this to backup effortlessly with Time Machine. It did the first backup and then stopped. After erasing it, it now is working as expected. Plenty of storage and a good price.

I like the security of it but haven't really played with it much

I bought this device as I wanted to have a high store HDD for the purposes of backing up video games that I have on hand. This device does exactly what it says on tin. Works great.

Cheap and good! Very useful! I want good easy store 8t ex hard

From my experience, it is an excellent product with enough saving space that can hold lots of media and documents, especially for data hoarders like me. Thanks, BestBuy for making such products available.

Bought this drive to reformat to EXFAT and use it on Mac and pc. Everything worked like it was supposed to. Plus it doesn’t get too hot like some large drives.

Like so many buyers, I purchased this external drive because of the enterprise quality read drive inside the enclosure. I have two of these for packing up all my photos and videos and they have been running flawlessly for the last year. Naturally, there is a spin up time after they have been sleeping and the noise of the heads to make them a little less than Ideal vs SSDs if you ar used to silence in your work space but they are fast and are a great value when you need capacity for redundant backups.

This drive enclosure allows you to get a 8TB WD Red drive for much less than if you were to buy it separately. The only downside is that the warranty is shorter on the enclosure, but it's well worth it for the massive savings.

Was looking for a larger external backup drive to store photos. My current 4TB drive was full and I wanted something larger so all files could fit into one external drive. The WD Easy store was the right size for the right price.
