Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great buy. 8TB is a huge amount of disk space. Very simple plug and play operation that comes with back-up software. You don't have to use the back-up software if just looking for additional storage capacity. Product is very small in size so it doesn't take up much space. Electric Cord is long so it can be placed away from the computer if needed.

Excellent Value. Easy setup and use. Perfect to store large files on.

Bought this to replace a 3tb WD that I have had for several years with no failure. Good product I would always recommend. Only complaint I have is that it's actually only 7,27 tb due to platforming . My understanding is that this can be rectified but I don't want to mess around in an area I don't know that much about. and BTW, that's not a WD thing ALL HARD DRIVES that I have bought come the same way.

Expands storage and excellent for safekeeping of important documents. I keep mine in storage just in case my computer goes down and I don’t risk looking hours of work

This was a great buy. The price was also something I couldn't pass up. Excellent for photos, music, documents and so much more. I don't have to ever worry about losing my data when its being backed up by such a great product.

Purchased at a discount, I got this drive for about $20 per terrabyte. I am an older person, and I got into the personal computer revolution way back when it started. Does anybody remember the Epson QX-10? Anyway, 8 terrabyte drive for backups, this is an important addition to my computer system(s). Works flawlessly, quietly. My only complaint is an odd one about cosmetics. I wish they didn't encase the drive in a hard plastic that appears to attract every dust particle in the house. To get back to the "clean black look" I have to wipe it down every other day. Here in Bend, OR where summer wildfires have been nearby, whenever we opened with windows to let in some fresh, albeit smokey, air, all of a sudden I got a very dusty drive. That cant' be good for its innards over the long haul.

For use with windows and iOS. To copy files off other HDs. Formatted the 1st drive, but the drive would not be recognized by either the iMac or pc (iOS and windows disk utility would recognize but I was unable to get the drive active). Returned, no questions asked. Second drive works well

f you're looking for a great external hard drive, look no further. I bought this drive because of the outstanding reviews and the more lackluster reviews on it's sister products. What any user needs to do when buying any sort of external hard drive should expect some sort of noise. It isn't an external SSD. So expect some sort of noise. With headphones on, I don't notice the noise on this drive at all when it was performing it's first backups. With headphones off, it is hardly noticeable. I am using this drive to back up all my data across three different computers: an old laptop, a school/work laptop, and the new PC I built. Now, I will be able to access all my data from the new PC I built with plenty of room for future data back ups. I can't speak on durability quite yet. Rest assured, I will certainly update this review significantly if this dies within a year of purchase. Side note: I have been seeing things that this could have a white label or a WD red drive inside. I would prefer not to shuck this out of the casing, so if anyone knows another way to tell, let me know!

Works excellent right out of the box. Huge storage, nice price, lets hope it lasts years!

I had purchased 2 of the 4TB easy stores in the past for video storage. They worked out just fine. No issues at all. So when it was time to purchase another, it was an easy choice. I couldn't find a new 4TB drive. While searching I found the 8TB at a price drop. Couldn't be happier.

I use this easy store for all my thousands of photos and backups of my computer. It was semi-easy to install and set up for weekly back up and for transferring directly from my memory card to the easy store my photos' from each and every vacation we have taken. We keep two back ups of all our photos and this did the trick....

Perfect for Backups. Fast, Durable, Afforable and Really Easy to Use and Reliable!

Great product with a great price. I bought it to back up my Lightroom files and it has plenty of room to House my 10k plus photos.

Lot’s of storage! Easy to use and fast. Portable storage for fun or office.

Great device. Comes with everything you need. Plenty of storage. Has a western digital red drive inside. works perfectly for NAS.

Awesome storage capacity. Great price. Got it for $139 while retail is $299. Fast drive that utilizes USB3.0. Can’t ask for more.

WD brand is an excellent brand.. low noise, excellent storage capacity.

Very easy to use. Simple plug & play. Lots of storage for backup and files.

For the price the size is normal but the space is huge. and being WD it should last for a while to take care of anything I need.

A lot of storage and is plug and play so you just plug it in and it works.
