Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed this drive for a project (a large scale database) where the drive would take quite a thrashing, continually being read and written to over the course of several days. Not only was the price right, but I normally use enterprise grade drives and I have to say, I was surprised at how well this drive managed. It managed not to get hot at all, despite the load I as subjecting it to. I've had other drives that got so hot, that they would actually burn to the touch! If your intent is to use this for the home to store movies, perform backups, or what ever occasional needs large storage needs you might have, you really can't go wrong with this drive. If you need something for work that will see moderate to heavy use, you should consider this drive as I can assure you very few applications will subject it to the load I put mine through.

Tons of storage packed in a little package. I love the design and it sits perfectly on my desk. I use these external Hard Drives for game systems and Computer systems with ease. Some systems may take a bit of formatting. Not noisy like some other external HDDs

I bought this drive when it came on sale giving it a low price per storage unit. I used it to create a private cloud and it works just fine for that purpose where a large capacity but not high speed is required. I am not implying here that the drive is slow, just that there are faster drives out there but their speed would not make a difference in my application.

Very reliable product for extra storage or running it on your server.

There hasn't been a single problem with it. I didn't use any preinstalled programs before reformatting it, but for anyone looking for something for their PS4, this works great. Though, since it uses its own cable, you won't be able to just simply get a longer one, so keep it close to the system.

Performs well as a backup drive. Easy to setup and easy to move to other servers as required.

works great for my needs. easy to setup an transferring files was a breeze.

I bought this for a plex server (ATX NAS). It had a western digital EDAZ drive. It works well and is in RAID 0 with another EDAZ drive in my Plex server. Cheap storage, easy to shuck. Buy this if you need more storage.

8Tb is huge and usb 3.0 makes this a great addition to my XBox One!

I recently moved from a full size gaming PC to a laptop, and I had a terabyte of photo's and music that I had to transfer from one to the other. I decided this was the best way to go, so if I ever go to another desktop again - no transferring!

The HDD contained (at least in my unit) was a WD Red which I have been using for years in other applications without issue. This backup has been on constant cycle for about six months now without any hiccups or issues. It runs as cool as I would have expected. I have no reservations about the drive or its reliability based on past performance of WD products.

Got room for everything now, this is easy to set up and very quier.

My wife is a photographer of wildlife mostly and she takes a lot of pictures. she has run out of space on two tera byte drives, so I purchased this to make up more space. She absolutely loves it this extra space for her editing of the pictures.

Easy to use and abundance of storage for videos, data and pictures

So far, so good - easy to use product, good value and product as described.

Picked this up at a great price so can't go wrong for the size

Easy to install, perfect size, and a very good price for 8 TB

Overall easy set up. I am still working on getting everything I want backed up. I have not found how to get Google photos to back up to the drive. But at this piont I am blaming myself. make sure the setting are set. mine was only backing up the os at first.

Got it at a great sale price, less than a 4TB unit. I don't have USB 3 on this computer, but it works fine at USB 2. Initial transfer of huge batch of files did take a long time (overnight), after that the auto backup and regular access to files is indistinguishable from my hard drive (which works better now that I moved so many files off it).

GREAT ITEM. It is so beautiful and compact. And Large space.
