Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

These drives had fantastic reliability records. I connected them and checked did a WD scan before copying my data. The utilities WD provides are also handy. Very happy with the purchase.

This contains a WD red drive, perfect for constant use. It works great and doesn't have high temperatures.

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.

I was looking for a network storage device, and was surprised at the sale price on this one. 8T for less than I'd previously paid for a 4T unit. The only thing lacking is pre-installed streaming software, which came with the last two storage devices I purchased.

This external hard drive has a huge storage capacity, it works fine. The only downside I could say of it is that its a little bit noisy but I guess its because is a larger 3.5 drive.

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.

I wanted a hard drive to attach to my router so I could handle my own cloud storage. This has worked perfectly in that role.

Western Digital - these words have, over the years, brought me a sense of fast and reliable storage, They continue to do so with this speedy, trustworthy quality storage device.

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 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.

Purchased for PS4 use. Has not disappointed. Shouldn't have to delete a game ever. Download my ps subscription games directly to it every month.

USB 3.0 external hard drive - great for back up purposes, storage, etc. Quality drive on the inside should you want to "shuck" it for RAID/back up purposes.

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 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.

Excellent external drive for making backups of your data off your main computer. USB 3.1 would have been just a bit better but this one gets the job done just fine.

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.

The WD EasyStore 8TB External Hard Drive is a simple-to-use, plug-and-play storage solution. Lots of space to save my photos and videos.

I picked this up when it was on sale, and it’s been a great drive. I did shuck the drive and use it internally in my PC for more data storage and it’s a great drive.

Backing up data/pictures is very important if you have/use a computer, etc. One of these worked very well for another family member. Now I need to get one for myself.
