Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s performed well, not too noisy or hot. It’s in constant operation backing up my NAS.

Very easy to set up and use. Great amount of storage for the money. You can't beat it.

Fast and easy setup with 8T of storage. Works well with my iMac. Great deal at Bestbuy

I only have great things to say about these drives

Easy set up and glad I purchased this item. It had saved so many memories when the desk top had issues.

Great external hardware drive with a whopping 8tb of storage space. No failures for me.

Great storage and fast speeds. I’ve never owned this brand before and setting up the program was a little annoying but easy overall.

Are you kidding me! I paid around $120 for an 8TB external hard drive!!! I’ve used smaller portable versions of this brand for 15 years with no issues. This was used to consolidate my mother’s CD collection. Easy to set up and use. If she can use it at over 70 years old, anyone can. Excellent bang for your buck.

I have 3 of these. I use them for backing up important Windows 10 files as well as iPhone and iPad photos. One of them uses Memeo Backup Premium. The other two are for air gapped storage. They are only connected when I physically transfer files. The USB 3.0 drives are fairly fast.

WD 8TB Hard Drive is very good. USB 3.0 is Fast speed. And 8TB heavy Storage. Good.

This is a great product for the price. It works on PS4 and PS5. I would recommend to anyone looking to expand their storage for a decent price for really good product.

I needed this to store large files such as movies, I have more movies than I could ever find time to watch and still have Terrabytes to spare. I also back up my 1TB internal hard drive in case of a crash. I'm not a gamer but this would work for them as well.

Purchased 2 at a great price for a 3rd copy of critical data (high channel count audio recordings). They work great for their purpose. Did not want the backup software, nice that we had a choice not to use it. Exactly why we bought easystore version of the WD drives. Thanks WD for a quality, high volume external drive without the extra nuisance. IT liked it enough to purchase one for personal use.

Putchased this when it was a daily deal (and of course the store’s price wasn’t the same as the online price but this seems to be the norm at this particular store - just make sure YOU know the price so that you can request a price match). The only difference between this and the WD My Book 8TB from what I can tell is that this one doesn’t have hardware based encryption. Inside is a WD Red NAS drive which is a high quality drive and will take a beating since they are built to withstand 24x7 operation. If you’re able to get it when it’s a daily deal then jump on it...if you need it sooner and it’s cheaper than the WD My Book and you can forgo the hardware based encryption then this is the better drive. The My Books don’t typically have the WD Red drives. If you look at the price of a comparable bare bones WD Red you’ll usually find that you can get the same size cheaper by getting in the EasyStore.

Fast external backup drive for several of my computers. Works well, as it should. It takes time to determine reliability, which is critical for backup storage.

My family often downloads so many new games the come out. We have multiple consoles but we also have Xbox Game Pass. This storage device is great. Would definitely recommend.

I needed a large enough hard drive so as not to worry about storing millions of baby pics and videos. It was very easy and fast to back up my MacBook. Great stuff.

Doesn't work well with Mac computer even after downloading additional drivers. After 4 or 5 data transfers, it stops recognizing the files (both stored and new transfers), and I need to restart the computer. Fine for PC, but a pain with Mac.

I purchased this Black Friday deal for $130. I usually prefer Seagate due to problems I had years ago with Western Digital hard drives failing . I am only trying this one out because of the price. I will be using this with Xbox One S to store games. I wouldn’t pay regular price though. Still a devoted Seagate owner. I’ve never had any problems with Seagate harddrives! They last for years.

I purchased this hard drive as a gift for my son to use as an external drive with his PS4. I have purchased other WD external drives and they have worked great.
