Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Easystore is fast and reliable. With my iMovie library on the drive I can easily move between computers and have plenty of room for huge files.

Bought for unraid server. Great red drive inside. Plan to by more on sale. Can’t find a better deal $/TB in a quality drive anywhere near this size.

This hard drive is just what I needed -- easy to use, with lots of storage. It was a snap to install and has been a breeze to use. I recommend it!

This is a Red drive, easy to shuck and take the drive out so you can put it in your computer. I got 3 and put them in a RAIDZ (ZFS) configuration,

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

Easy to use. Excellent storage system. I am very happy with the performance.

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.

Works as advertised and is a great affordable option for storage. 4 stars instead of 5 because it's not cutting-edge with the sleekest design nor fastest read-write speeds. But it gets the appropriate job done for the price point.

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

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 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.

great product. Incredible capacity. Easy to interface. Great backup storage

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.

Definitely worth buying if you need extra storage space for your computer. Easy to set up and use.

If you have a lot of people on you network like I do. This makes a good low power NAS with a raspberry pi 4 Just make sure to block Microsoft from your pi 4 not the files on the NAS just the OS and it will run like a clock... youtube has some videos on this. This is going to be my backup NAS so it's only going to run about 2 times a week. I just hope this is not an SMR drive if it is it's going back I will be testing it soon

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.

The Western Digital easystore 8TB external hard drive works as described and as intended. If you need more space, whether it is for backing up important files or storing media, or both, this should do the trick for sure.

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.
