Customer Ratings & Reviews

Having this drive, a second one. The first was for my photos, and second one, is back up the PC system and relevant files.

Good product. Reliable. Reasonably priced. Very dependable.

Price tends to move around on this drive, but when I purchased it it was by far the cheapest way of getting so much storage for your money. High quality WD Red drive in an enclosure that can be easily dismantled if you want to place in your home NAS or similar. Have already put it through it's paces and have been very happy with the results.

Works great. Easy to set up and in minutes you are ready to store whatever you need to.

This 8 TB drive allowed me to backup all of the data from 5 individual external hard drives! My recommendation to everyone if to have more than one backup of anything important because an external hard drive- like your computer's internal drive- can fail.

Currently using it for storing server backups locally. So far it has been perfect!

Not too bulky and the speed and extra storage is awesome.

Great product plenty of storage easy to use would recommend

If you need large external storage at a decent price, this is a pretty good option. Not a super-fast drive and not necessarily built like a tank but, if those aren't your needs, then this drive will do just fine. Easy to set up and reliable operation. I purchased two for some backup needs and all has worked just fine.

I've been running a Plex server on my computer for a few years now, and I've collected a considerable media library to support it. However being the type that likes to keep an archive of my favorite tv shows and movies, storage space can disappear quite rapidly. I'd have a 2TB and 2x4TB internal drives, plus a 4TB and an 8TB external drives for 22TB total space. It wasn't enough. Fortunately I found this drive, along with a 12TB one on sale and got both. Now I have 42TB of storage space. I think I'll be good for a while. The only downside I've found on these drives, is that they like to go to sleep, so often as I'm accessing the media, there can be a little lag getting it to open up (thus my deduction of 1 star), but once it does it works fine. Overall the transfer speeds are adequate. I haven't heard any concerning noise coming out of it. The previous WD MyBook 8TB drive is still going strong after almost a decade, so I expect these new ones to last just as long.

Got a great price for a ton of storage. Works flawlessly.

This drive is filled with 4K movies and has function flawlessly for going on three years. Excellent value.

Purchased about a year and a half ago with no issues so far. Thinking about buying a second one as a backup. So far so good, not much to say about mass storage except "it works" and "it's not painfully slow for an HDD".

Drive was purchased when on sale for $179.99. Very good price point. Intended use is for Xbox one X game installs and transfer. Performance and speed has been very good when transferring data from the internal drive on my Xbox One Elite to this unit. Also, no discernable noise can be heard from the drive from our normal sitting position.

I have one already and it works well just make sure you format it to what you need Playstation(3/4/5) Fat32 Same for Xbox. the more memory the better. I bought this for a family member but found out they had one already and now i think its to late to return.. welp more space for me :)

I bought this for my XB1 as my 2TB was overfull. I managed to snag this on a sale. It has worked OK. A few times it has not registered with the XBOX right away, but that seems to have worked itself out. As long as it lasts through the warranty period and then some I will be happy. Wait for a sale, and good luck running out of room! LOL

Great brand, very reliable. I got this one to replace my old 1 tb which i had for about a decade, before i had a single issue

I have a couple of smaller 2T ext storage drives and needed more space. I got this monster for about the same price I paid for the smaller ones (each). Easy to set up, Easy to use. WD makes great drives!!

Very easy to install and use. Compact and great utility.

Works great. A great value! Tremendous storage value for little money.
