Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this to have a dedicated harddrive at house and was easy to connect to mac book. Offers plenty of file storage and looking at picking up a second one for a photo project working on.

These always perform well for me and last a good long while. Man of them have the WD red drives as well. Check with smartctl of the like to confirm yours.

Best one i bought so Far, i am using this one on my PS4 work great i bought another two others using one of them on my Xbox One X , then my PC they all work Amazing!

Works like a top. Very reliable and produces seamless results. I know my data will be there when I need it. Top of the line performance from a top of the line product.

Bought this for myxbox one x works great the only draw back it is always on won't turn off even if you set the xbox to turn it off but not a big deal i just put in a cabinet so i cant see it's on

PCWorld advises the avg 2-hour movie takes up about 5 GB space at 1080p, making this monster drive able to hold 160 high definition movies. Pretty impressive!

Easy to install. Helps the computer to run faster because the computer no long has to host so much information/photos/videos that take up lots of extra space. Love it.

I've been using this hard drive for over a month with no hiccups. I've had issues with Seagate but all my WD external HDDs are working well (some many years old). Speed and reliability are great so far.

I am a very happy and satisfied user of this 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive , I have no reservation in recommending it. The backup speed is superb and there is no fear of running out of storage ( 8TB).

This WD 8Tb drive is just what I needed to make sure my files, photos and music are backed up. I'm not particularly partial to "the cloud" so I feel more comfortable making my own backup.

Was needing another drive for my NAS and knowing that many of these contain WD reds which are specifically made for long term storage and constant use, it was the perfect option. I was not disappointed.

As a photographer shooting RAW and JPEG images, I have many external hard drives. This may be the fastest of my drives yet. I have many Seagates which have treated me very well. I thought I'd try the 8TB Western Digital and I'm impressed. Like other reviews, I hear the drive making some minimal noise while accessing files, but not more than I expected. So far I'm very pleased with the drive speed. One critical comment - I hate that all these external drives have large plugs at the end of the power supplies - I wish they had bricks in the middle and small plugs at the wall. Enough of my minor quibble, I think this was a good purchase and believe you can proceed with confidence in your purchase.

I am a fan of Western Digital Hard Drives, so it was an easy decision to purchase this drive to use as a backup. It has given me no problems what so ever.

A whole lot of space for a whole lot of stuff. I have had no problems whatsoever with this hard drive and has no compatibility issues. Awesome hard drive!

I originally got this external HD for my kids, but they ended up not wanting it. So i kept it for myself. Lot's of storage. Use it to store my pc games.

Works pretty well, so far. have not had it long enough to know durability.

I was looking for an external hard drive to back my computer up with that was easy to use. The sales person recommended the WD Easystore 8TB. It is one of the best purchases I made in a long time.

Great price for a good drive. Even though these now come with WD white label, they're still WD Red drives. The big difference is that the SATA power connector has been updated to the newest spec. If you're running a NAS and you shuck one of these and plop it in, you shouldn't have any issues. However, if you plan on putting a bare drive in your PC, be aware that most power supplies still use the old standard which outputs 5v power on the yellow line. This causes the drive to constantly restart itself as the new standard calls out this as a restart pin. The easiest fix is to remove the yellow line from your power connector used to plug the drive in and you'll be good to go.

I've owned a few of these and they've always been good drives. This one in particular includes a WD Red NAS drive which is better quality than the standard drive. Handles vibration and heat better.

Works perfect as my plex media server! The read and write speed is better than expected, and I'm very happy I opted to go with the 8tb instead of the 4.
