Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got these on sale in Nov 2017, expecting these to have the WD Red drives in them. Bought 4 of them and had nothing but problems with them. Opened them up and they did not have the red drives in them. I was pretty disappointed. 600+$ down the drain. Tried using as is with the enclosure and had a ton of issues with my OS X computer. I will probably return the 2 that I didn't open yet and try to recoup some money from this.

I was looking for a 8TB hard drive for long for my desktop and finally bought this hard drive during the Best Buy Black Friday in July at a very great price. This is exactly what I need for my desktop. Highly recommended.

Works well, recommend, easy to install and would purchase again.

I bought this in a black Friday deal. Using for MAC, since I couldn't afford buying MAC with large storage. It expanded the Laptop storage. The only issue here is, it is not portable. You also have to connect to power every time you use it. Little bit noisy when it starts working. Still a lot more storage for this price point.

The WD easystore 8TB external hard drive worked well. It is slower than expected.

i formatted the drive to connect to my mac. works great!!

Works great, awesome for photo backup and is really fast!

Super hard drive storage solution with a good amount of space at 8TB. Finally, something that can handle all the data I can throw at it. I recommend this exteral HD to anyone with need for storage space!

Nice thing working very nice and price is in range

Very Good External HDD!! Quick Shipping Speed!! Thank You

I bought this to have more storage for my xbox one. Simply plug in the usb plug to the xbox one and it automatically coverts it to storage. Had it for almost a year with no problems. Fantastic external hdd

Nice product, held a good bit of storage but returned when a larger version went on sale for nearly the same price. Also had issues using with PS5 due to the consoles bugs

Can’t say enough about this drive. The included software for auto backups works great using this with a Plex server and working great so far no complaints. Very good value when they’re onsale.

Worked straight out of the box with my iMac. Nice drive.

Do a lot of gaming and need the extra storage. Now I can just leave my system in rest mode and do all the updates when I’m away. It’s been such a time saver.

These and the 10TB drives are great. You can often get these on sale and they are ideal to shuck and then placed in a NAS for backups. At this size the average person could backup multiple computers

My primary purpose for this device was to backup my iTunes library (120,000 songs) and my Windows Media library. It fit the bill with. The USB 3.0 capability really helped expedite the backup process.

Bought this external USB hard drive back in 2018. Still works like a charm in late Oct. 2019. Lots of storage space and quick and easy access with the plug in power cord and plug in usb cord.

I used to drive for 4 weeks as an external drive. It has great read-write speeds and is relatively quiet. I ended up opening the drive and using the hard drive in my NAS as it is an 8tb Western Digital red Drive!

Easy setup. Works well thus far. Huge drive for low price.
