Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this during a pretty good sale. Currently using it for Xbox One game storage. It has worked very well for me. Speeds are good and no reading errors.

I absolutely love these. Setup is a breeze, and these are the absolute best value in terms of $/TB. Have had several running under heavy usage for close to a year, no failures yet.

This fit all my needs. I have an extensive movie collection and was looking for a way to consolidate multiple small Hard drives into one. 8 terabytes will definitely do the trick for now :)

Great product when on sale. I got this bad boy for only $129. Don't overpay because they do go on sale from time to time. Black Friday is the best time to buy.

Great product. Needed a great USB hard drive to store all our family files/ pictures, etc. It's well worth it for the cost I paid for it. Would definitely recommend it to anyone .

Its a large size which is a plus and comes with software that is useful. I would say definitely register it for warranty purposes but so fast it's been great backing up my things.

This is probably the current best value for an 8 TB drive in terms of quality vs cost. The only downside to these drives is the short 2 year warranty provided by Western Digital. It remains to be seen what the long term reliability will be.

The drive works fantastic and overall the performance is above what I expected. This is my last HDD overall for storage but im glad i picked this one up.

It is a great External Hard Drive, I pulled the trigger when I saw it was on sale 140. I transferred over 500GB of movies to it, and the transfer speed was better then i expected.

Good for storing/backing up files. Super easy to use. There is an auto-backup scheduler which makes things more achievable. Definitely recommend for beginners.

And I thought my 1 TB was massive, but this is great! Only downside is that this one also has to be plugged into an electrical outlet for it to work as well as your USB port. Kinda a hassle

This 8 TB external hard drive is fairly inexpensive, has a large amount of storage for the price and is available at a pretty low price . It got pretty good ratings too. It's a Best Buy!

I buy these for my NAS at home. I shuck them (remove from casing and put in my PCs) and I've had good luck with them so far. I own 7 of them so far.

I purchased five WD 8GB Externals. All five were WD Red 8GB HDs inside. I used CrystalDiskInfo to check before needing to open the case for checking the WD drives inside. All good. Great buys.

I was looking for an external hard drive with adequate storage that had an LED that indicated when it was powered up and running. This fit the bill perfectly!

I got an amazing deal for a 8TB HD. Now I can consolidate all my drives into one. And have space to use as backup to my laptop. Hard drives have a limited life so this was a perfecf solution.

I took this out of the box, plugged the USB in and cord in the socket and it started right up, loaded software and I was immediately able to put files on it. No lag time in start up.

I got this for my Xbox one x. I had bought a 6tb version of the same thing 3 years ago for my older Xbox one - it still runs great so I had not doubt when I had to buy a new one.

I user this for video and photo files and it holds a lot of files. I was really surprise how much room I still had after loading it with a lot of video files.

External enclosure contains a WD Red 8TB NAS drive for a lower cost than the drive itself. If you can find it on sale it's even better. Awesome deal and a great drive. I've ordered 5 of these
