Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed a new hard drive for storage and for the amount of space and the price range, I say it's a match made in heaven. Reformatted so that it can be used on both Mac and PC.

I use this to backup my data, this drive works great. Pretty quiet, fast and it wont turn on until its plugged into a USB port. Highly recomend to anyone looking for an external.

Picked this up for a friend who is a huge stickler for backup devices. He hasn’t said anything negative since I gifted it to him and that means it’s a stellar product.

So far, this drive has been great. Excellent speed and of course, plenty of capacity. Given how fast USB 3 is, it's indistinguishable from my internal drives. The only negative is that it tends to go into sleep/power save mode rather quickly and takes a little longer than I'd like to wake.

Working great as all of my western digitals do. Quiet and has no problem storing my 7plus gig mame download backup. So happy with this purchase

Been using this for my PS5 and have had no problems thus far. It's been about 10 months and its going strong with no issues. There's been a few power failures in the house and yet this thing still keeps kicking and not losing all its memory files. So due to that alone I'm giving it a 5 star. When playing PS4 games off of it on the PS5 I don't experience any delays or weird bugs at all. Overall it gets the job done and leaves you plenty of space to work with at an excellent price!

Nice affordable large drive. Using it for my PS4 external drive as it runs out if space quickly. Formats super fast. Would purchase again.

Purchased for security camera archives, drive speed performs well

So far, so good. No issues with a bad drive, no issues writing things to the drive and so much space to back up pictures and videos (esp. as 4K video are pretty gigantic).

Amazing amount of storage for the price. Plug it in and go. Use it to backup laptop and desktop. Both files and a very large numbers of photos.

I fill up hard drives like water glasses. WD drives seems to last the longest for me and this one is working so far nice with two partitions in it on my iMac.

I have bought 2 so far. Shuck WD red's at a fraction of the price. Will get 2 more to fill up the Ds 918+ nas. When they are on sale the price is to good to pass up

I am currently using this drive for media storage attached to a Plex Server. This thing performs very well, and you cannot beat the amount of storage for this price! The only downside is the appearance of the device; I would have preferred something a little easier on the eyes.

I bought this 'beast' to use on my Xbox One X. Just plug and play. Very fast, silent. If you are looking for extra space this is the one. Price also was really important.

This is an excellent drive. Inside are WD Reds or White Label Reds, which are top quality drives. This drive when on sale is an excellent price / performance-quality ratio.

second one I have purchased to back up a server using the "ROBOCOPY" command. speed is pretty good with USB 3.0, and plent of space. It is quiet during operation.

This WD drive works great, and the 8 TB capacity allows for plenty of space are a Macintosh Time Machine drive (after reformatting, of course). Recommended.

Simply an amazing deal for bulk storage when they go on sale (as they often have been). I've purchased multiple of these to take apart and use the drives in a NAS.

Using this as a NAS attached via my router on a USB 3.0 connection. Flawlessly steams my movies, etc to multiple clients throughout my home without any problems.

Loving this hard drive. The very large capacity is really a great feature of this hard drive. Very fast and portable. Looking to buy one more for my sibling.
