Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

It was easy to install, and it works great. Would definitely recommend.

The hard drive itself is good but just know that these higher storage drives are louder so you will hear it running. I tested this on a ps5 and can confirm that it does work. Overall it's good if you don't mind the drive being noisy.

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

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

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

Great purchase for the price and need. A flash drive does not have the same capacity. Now I can store all of my Mp3,photos,software and other personal data. I can't wait to share my great purchase with all of my friends. Maybe they will want to purchase a hard drive of their own with the same capacity. Thank you verymuch.

Easy set up. Enough space for gaming mods for now. I hope it lasts as well as other storage spaces I have purchased manufactured by this company.

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

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.

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.

This is my second WD 8TB drive. The last drive used the 2.0 and after upgrading my tower I wanted the speed of the 3.0 transfer rate. Just like the older model, this one is what I always expect from WD. Zooom.

For use with windows and iOS. To copy files off other HDs. Formatted the 1st drive, but the drive would not be recognized by either the iMac or pc (iOS and windows disk utility would recognize but I was unable to get the drive active). Returned, no questions asked. Second drive works well

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.

Great storage and easy to use. Not super fast but great for just storing whats needed

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 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.

Have always found Western Digital eternal drives to be reliable.

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.
