Customer Ratings & Reviews

My son plays a lot of video games online, which uses a lot of storage. This was reasonable and he is now able to keep all his games accessible for use.

This drive is fast and quiet. One thought - it would benefit from multiple 3.0 USB, currently on one PC, but as an 8TB, should be able to connect to at least two PC's.

I bought this as a backup drive for my AV files. It meets all of my criteria: Good price Holds a lot Reasonably fast Prompt delivery

What can I say, they are WD reds with a lower warranty. Pull them apart and throw them in a NAS. Price on sale is fantastic. Hopefully one day i can replace these with SSDs.

I bought this hard drive for my son’s Xbox One. As soon as I plugged it in, the Xbox recognized it and formatted it immediately. We were using it in under five minutes.

Been a fan of WD externals for some time. This beast doesn’t disappoint. It is now my storage base of choice for music and rotating backups.

Bought this to back up all my important photos files and documents. I still haven’t used it all up yet!! Awesome product and easy to use

This drive is easy to connect. You'll have it up and running in moments. It's used to back up files which it does in reasonable time.

These drives are ~5400 RPM "white label" WD Red drives in a non-encrypting enclosure. They work great in the enclosure and they're awesome for "shucking" to use in a big fat RAID array. Be aware that the enclosure has a sleep timer that will put the drive to sleep after a certain amount of time; if you try to run a SMART long test it will abort once the enclosure sends the sleep command to the drive for you. The lack of encryption means that an enclosure board failure doesn't render all data on the drive unusable which is a major advantage of these over the WD My Book etc. series drives.

I've had the drive for a year now and have had zero issues. Good read/write speeds and simple 'plug & play'. Will buy more when I need the additional storage.

Best price hands down. I ordered online once from another store and it was broken, nice to pick this up locally and know no parts are loose inside the box.

Always like Western Digital hard drives this is the first one I've had you had to plug in but other than that it's great

I have bought 4 of these drives over the last two and a half years and, running almost continuously, performing as promised. Enough said.

I needed to get an external hard drive because mine was giving out on me. I looked online at Bestbuy and picked this one up. So far so good, works great!

This was a fantastic deal, I bought this external hard drive for my Xbox One S, now I have plenty of room for downloads and games. Easy to set up and working well so far.

Not much to say except that it’s a ton of storage space for a small price. I run a small business that deals with large video files and this is a nice backup.

So once I learned from some searching that the WD red drives are installed in the mybook, and confirmed that fact with the some smartctl magic, i was a happy camper.

About half of these are WD red drives, and the other half are white label. Both perform well and have been running mine for over a year with no issues.

Works great for my back up of images and files. I have a couple others I back up to as well.

I need this to save all my cds in digital form, its easy to use and worth the money
