We love the external hard drive so much that we’ve got well axing on eight of them and I’ve had never ever had a problem with one

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!

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.

Great product I have several of them and using a Mac but also connecting it to Windows I reformatted it and it works great.

So far so good. Had to have more storage as three teens and Dad can't come to agreement on what to uninstall. The amount of space for the money seems very reasonable. Install was simple.

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.

Plenty of storage space for the large files I want to back up. Easy to transport to another computer.

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.

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.

I had to do my research on this product and I was glad that I was able to purchase it. I was able to fit in all my pictures and documents. It was very easy to install as well. I do recommend it
