Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is actually the second one I’ve bought. The product works flawlessly, and has a ton of storage. I use them for my Xbox one’s. I plan on buying another for my PlayStation 4. This ones a no brained for the price. Make sure you get it when Best Buy has a sale! Usually 2 or 3 times a year.

I have not had any issues with it so far. I have a mac and I would say to format the hard drive right off the bat and not try to download WD's stuff. I worked so much better that way.

Got this on Deal of the Day. External WD 8TB hard drive works flawlessly. I use it to backup all of my 4 TB WD Cloud data and still have tons of room to backup my home movie collection too.

I bought this drive to replace several smaller drives and lots of CD/DVD backup disks. I have transferred them all and still have lots of room. Seems well built and reliable.

Was able to take the drive out of the external enclosure and use it inside my tower as a backup drive. Great amount of space for the price. These drives also have some really great reviews.

This was a good deal as it has a great deal of storage. I expected it to be a little slow with a drive of this size so I use it for data and not live work. The only down side it is is a bit on the noisy side but once you learn to place it where it is behind other objects you don't even notice it.

This is my first review. I bought this external WD 8gb HD right before Xmas 2017 at a good price of close to $149, with $10 bonus store pickup. Lots of storage and good quality by WD.

I hooked this up to my router and now everyone on my home network can access the shows/pictures on it as well as backup important files. Perfect for now until I get a NAS configured.

I don’t know what I did without this. Makes it so easy to back up files and have them on hand when you need them without slowing down your computer!

I have been using this for a few weeks now. Its a back up disk for my MacBook pro. Once it was re-formatted (super easy to do) it has worked flawlessly.

Yeah I have tons of tunes and photos and needed plenty of space see whatta sayin’.. and when I addded them see whatta sayin it worked like a charm see whatta saying.

Purchased on sale to load all scanned files. Easy startup & backup lots of info. Haven’t gotten to the video files yet, so we’ll see how it goes. But, so far so good.

Picked up for use on Xbox one. Plugged it in, Xbox saw it, & started using. Simple setup & works perfectly. No complaints at all. Will buy another one for the Ps4.

Exactly what I needed. A great purchase for sure. I have backed up my entire computer, added all my photos and music and there is still plenty of room remaining. Dependable as well.

It's not so compact as it could be, need additional power supply, but for that money it's a great solution to archive my photo and video as well. I bought it with a very good discount.

Searched everywhere and found this was the best value for the amount of storage. Seems to be working just fine for as much as it is used.

Brought this device almost 2 years ago & no problem with this external HD. I use this to back-up my other WD hard drives.

This thing is great I use it for my xbox and I've had it for about a year and this thing is great I've only used about 1/3 and still have a lot of room

I needed a external hard drive because I didn't wan everything bogging down my computer, so far i'm very pleased and I never had a issue with Western Digital.

I have 10TB worth of space across 5 external HDD's, so I got this big boi to back them all up. Really slow, but it's for backups, not active use. This is your warning.
