Customer Ratings & Reviews

use this to expand my PS4-Pro HD capacity and works great, no lagging, gitter game play, you don't even notice you are playing from an external HD

USB3 5400RPM 8TB drive, when on sale it's the cheapest $/TB you can get... so far been reliable, fairly quiet and pretty quick on a USB3 interface

Tons of space! I hope that it does not die! Some of the large capacity 2.5 inch drives are very un-reliable. I hope this 3.5 inch drive is better.

This is the only external hard drive I buy anymore, I start each year with a fresh drive for storage and will continue getting these ones from Bestbuy, thanks!

Great memory storage my son is very please with it. Its not very big so that's also a plus for saving space.

I loved it. I’m using it for my server. Thank you so much.

One of the best affordable options out there to save data.

When on sale, this is the best value external drive you can buy. Best Buy arranges some serious magic with WD to get these 8TB easystore models priced extremely low at times, with the hard drive mechanism inside worth nearly twice as much. Those bare drives rarely go on sale, which makes these external models very popular. This is no cheap-o hard drive. These are a variant on the 5400 RPM WD Red, designed for 24/7 always-on usage in server systems. So far, mine have been extremely quiet as well. Zero complaints. Keep those WD deals coming, Best Buy!

very reliable and bit big but much needed if your storing your files and trying to save ram on your laptop

I love this hard drive. So much, in fact, hat it's the second one I've bought! The hard drive is easy to set up and use, fast, and very reliable.

I was initially going to use this for my video games but decided to just use it for my computer. No complaints so far, was able to store tons of my photos pretty quickly and the HD isn't too loud at all. It was priced at a great price for 8 TB.

This is my third 8TB easystore purchase. I also have four 4TB easystore drives from Western Digital. This latest acquisition is Excellent in Performance and Reliability. As are all my previous WD products. I have yet to have a drvie failure or any other problems. I very much recommend this product. You shall not be disappointed.

I read up on these and decided I needed this to handle my gaming needs for my Xbox One. Could not pass on that $139.99 price. I missed out on the 4TB Easy Store portable HDD for $79.99 on Black Friday. I've read other reviews and got lucky on getting a WD Red NAS with 256mb cache. Hear these are ideal for NAS use, but I just needed it for my Xbox games library.

This hard drive allows me to store all my pictures and videos. I am a professional photographer and it has so much space and so easy to set up.

A ton of space for the price. I would recommend this if you need to storage a bunch of data without breaking the bank. I wouldn't recommend for video editing

Works as expected. Not too loud. Pretty slim and fits most places

this external has a white label WD drive inside. The particular drive is identically specced to a WD Red label drive and works great in a NAS.

Been reliable for years so I got another one. Easy to use and reliable where others have crapped out

It's 8TB of space on an external USB 3.0. Can't go wrong with that. So far so good. USB 3.0 makes a huge difference transferring large files.

Easy to set up and use. Size is compact so fits office well.
