Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far so good. I've been using WD drives for my business for years and I've never had an issue with them losing files or malfunctioning so I'm confident this one will be just as great. Easy to set up and works quickly saving files.

Works great I have used it for photos music and video and it works seamlessly for all of those applications

The set up was easy and straight forward. Great storage capacity and the price was right at time of purchase

WD easystore is doing as advertised making saving 8k photos and everything else easy. I bought a generic ext. HDD online and still cannot access the drive w/ valuable data on it for no reason other than it was a Monday I guess? I never save to the cloud because you never own your own stuff...they charge storage money don't they and if you do not pay they cut off access don't they? Rates will always go up, never down so...Maintain ownership via via HDD then in future when external SSD storage becomes affordable simply copy files over to the new.

This is one of many great products from WD. Easy to use. No need for any apps to download(there optional). Just plug in and it good to use. However it is just a bit expensive.

Lots of storage at a very discounted price. Easy connection via USB

Item works good I recommend this item to save as a backup

Installed 2 8 TB drives and using it as Raid1. It was comparatively easy to setup. Using it for a week.

This is a nice sized hard drive. I'm using it as a backup for my Mac system. The price was good compared to other options I've looked at. While it comes formatted for Windows systems, it is not too difficult to reformat to the Mac file system. But you have to do that to make it usable.

Bought it to make home storage network. It's fast and working great. Just like what I needed.

It is a Huge amount of space with a great price husband loved it

We use it at work to backup video production, so we go through space pretty quickly. We've found that backing up on a hard drive like one and then storing it in a safe deposit box is much more cost effective than paying for "cloud storage". This unit is compact and easy to use.

I like WD. Very reliable. Occasionally I have had one or two stop working after a power bump; BUT found that if you carefully open the case, take the HDD out, remove the attached Sata connection card, and use it as an internal HDD; ALL the data is still there and accessible. Love it !

I have been using Western Digital products for years and have always had excellent results. You can't beat the price for the 8TB drive. As an Apple person I need to format my drives to Mac Compatible and it is a breeze. Handles Time Machine without fault and stores my wifes 100,000+ photos with ease. Yes, on occasion the drive does make very slight vibration on my desk that is virtually imperceptible and rare and runs very cool. I tried a Seagate as well and it was a mess. I highly recommend this drive as well as my additional 5 Western Digital drives that have given me nothing but excellent performance. I keep a full b/u of both my Macs on two different Western Digital drives and keep them locked away for safety purposes and only pull them out to update. I never worry that Western Digital will let me down and if needed, Customer Support was excellent when I had an issue with Time machine not backing up. Not Western Digitals issue, a mistake made by me.

Needed a big backup to upgrade to Windows 11 and this unit did the trick, plus tons more in space to consolidate other external hard drives.

This item rocks! I use these for my media server for 5 years now just picked up another one while on sale and have no regrets. After setting it up it works as I expected. If you’re looking for an external HDD I recommend WD.

I have several of these. I buy them Black Friday every couple years as the sizes increase. I am setting this one up for a Plex server at home connected to my router directly. I have a 4 TB connected to my Xbox One which is a faster interface than the internal drive and much more storage. Feel free to research the faster connection as I did before I bought this for that purpose. I have some others as external storage on my computers.

This unit offers plenty of storage. No problems , easy to setup, time will tell about it’s longevity.

Using as a time capsule for my Mac. Working flawlessly.

I bought this for backup storage. This this was a breeze to set up and for the cost is a great value.
