Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

good fast pretty quiet HDD, but for long copy using cooling pad - temperature gets high - recommended by WD 35 Celsius - get high till 45-47! .... Will not last long like that. 2 years warranty pretty ok, but I will stick with MY Book model - 3 years, just for instance. Included Software is pathetic pretty much. WD- it is 21 century already! Come on.

Large external harddrive, 4 stars because it works out of the box, 5 stars will come if it lasts more than its warranty. Pros: -Large capacity, 8.001 trillion bytes, or more simply 7.24 terabytes of space. -Easy setup for Windows, plug it in and you're ready to start using your new harddrive. -Power saving, the harddrive will go to sleep once it isn't being used, this extends the harddrives lifespan. Something to note is it requires an outlet to be powered, as well as an empty usb port to connect to your computer. Overall a simple product for any storage needs, its true worth will be tested in time, but so far everything is as advertised.

I bought this to use as a backup for my computers. It was easy to set up and use with plenty of storage space for all family members to use.

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.

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.

I have lost everything in my computer in the past and I did want to pay for more cloud storage. I consulted with my brother that one of the geeks at Best Buy. And we decided this would work for what I wanted. And it has. I have my music, pictures spreadsheets and back on this drive and there is still more room. it is compact and if I didnt tell you it was there, you wouldn't know

Exactly what I needed to store pics and videos. Works great.

Just wow ! It has 8 TB 3.0 USB THAT IS A LOT OF SPACE I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE NEED TO TRANFER FILES PHOTOS VIDEOS GAMES...etc

This is the second drive I have purchased. The first a year ago. The drive is fast, and takes up little desk space. Runs quietly. What more can you adk?

It works, but it’s very slow. I am using this to archive photo and video projects only.

So many thing can be stored in here!!! Totally recommend to get for it’s affordable price!

This hard drive is easy to manage. Great quality. And more than enough space

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.

So far so good, haven't owned it a year yet. Easy to use and plenty of storage space.

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.

Well priced! Easy setup. These drives are great. I have a bunch of them.

We always use Best Buy purchases to store data. 100

This item is great for storing data like family photos and videogame data.
