Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good price for the capacity. Very quiet compared to other drives.

This product is easy to set up and use. Everything functions as it should. Very fast when using USB 3.0.

work fine. when i format for ps4 external storage, my computer doesnt recognize it when plug back into computer. but with a quick search online, i found out how to fix it with a little extra fiddling around. this is gonna last 20 years worth of storage, so i am happy.

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.

Not much to say, it's a wd drive so its usually reliable. One of the main reasons to be buying this drive should be for archival purposes, don't be expecting ssd speeds here. I should elaborate, it's not a slow drive. Speed should be fine for most people's uses.

Great drive, easy to install and plenty of capacity for backups.

This is... I think, my 8th or 9th WD easystore drive. Of the 8TB variety, this is my 6th. These are great for back-ups and storage of large files. I shucked 4 of them and installed them into a NAS. They work great. Not a single hiccup.

Love this hard drive now I don't have to worry about space at all I'm using it as my backup drive for all my important things and I was able to free up two other hard drives I was using in the meantime great company great quality product.

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

voided the warranty immediately and broke the drive out of the case to use in my desktop. The drive works great to replace a failing backup drive in my desktop computer. It was $70 cheaper to buy it in the external case rather than buy it loose.

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.

Nice drive and has always been reliable. Some of the models I've had click a bit but SMART / checks say they're fine. Other than some excess noise they've been perfect.

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

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

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.

[Employee of bestbuy] Have had these for years and they are still working like day one. This product is amazing for long term storage of media files or precious family memories

Good product. Reliable. Reasonably priced. Very dependable.

Quality I have come to expect from WD. Could not have been any easier to add storage to my desktop. Just plug it in and partition if desired.

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.
