Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have accumulated an extensive catalog of digital media and had it scattered across a minimum of 5 different hard drives. This is the perfect solution to consolidate it all in one place. With the advances in TV technologies, it is nice that it is portable and can plug directly into a USB port on the television and you can watch direct without having to go through a laptop and HDMI connection.

This drive has allowed me to back up my photo collection. It works great with Windows 10.

Plugged this as an extension of my my cloud drive and works like it is supposed too

I bought this for external storage for my PS4. The PS4 immediately recognized and formatted the drive. I have no issues with playing any of the games stored on the drive. It is just as fast as playing games directly on the PS4.

Had no problem with setting it up. Works as expected. I did not run any performance tests on it.

do note that you will need seperate power source, but 8tb is awesome though

This is a huge store but its size is too big and needed to connect to electricity to use.

I bought this hard drive for backup purposes not to run day-to-day. I understand it's a green drive in the enclosure so I don't plan on running this every day. My intentions for this drive are two backup my computer system every month or so then store the drive off site.

Bought this drive to store a lot of movies and tv shows. So far it has exceeded my expectation.

this is perfect item for me to use it at home or to travel. it is great size and max storage.

love Western Digital products. get lots of storage for the money

Good value. In my experience, Western Digital hard drives are much more reliable than Seagate. I owned several of both and only Seagate ones failed repeatedly.

Works well, software is good, no complaints. Schedule is great and once the initial back up is done, scheduled ones are fast. FYI I was backing up about 5TB as the initial back up and it took about a day. From my understanding, that is normal for the amount I was backing up.

Good product. Havent had any issues. Pretty simple plug and use setup

We use this external drive for PC backups. It's big enough to hold multiple backups.

Good hard drive and good value make this an easy choice for basic storage expansion.

A relatively fast and quiet drive. Very good drive but great value for the price.

1. CrystalDiskMark to check status of the disk. 2. WD Data LifeGuard to do a full write (erase) to the disk. 3. Windows to do a full format 4. WD Data LifeGuard to do a long self test 5. Re-Verify data in Crystal Disk Info to make sure during all that nothing went bad.

I have several of these. They are reliable. Good value for mass storage of archival.

Great buy, for the price. I use it to back up my laptop and t sore large files, MP# MP4, etc.., highly recommend this for anyone looking for a second hard drive. It's fast and easy to set up.
