Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this to back up data for several devices. Easy to use and works well. Transfer rate is good but it’s a bit bulky in size. Overall and very happy with the item.

it worked great as soon as I pugged it in and started backing all my pc's . I was a great price and well worth money. recommend to anyone.

I have this drive attached to my router and used it as a network drive so everyone can upload and download all the pics from events. It's a quick and reliable drive.

I have had no issues with it, except it never seems to work as easily I think it should - in other words, the software should be easier to run. I mean, really the hard drive has one simple job to do, and you do call it an easystore.

The drive looks very bulky. We thought it will be compact in size

Purchased this in order to consolidate my entire digital video library onto one device. Works as intended upon setup. Easy peasey. As always WD makes another great product!

bought this during the holiday season deal days to backup my office computer and couldn't be happier. easy set-up and fast transferring of data. should have bought two, lol

Well this is probably a great external hard drive, but it slows my computer down so bad, that I've started unplugging it so I can use my computer, it just won't do anything with it hooked up.-- My computer is a HP Envy, with Windows 10 and runs great without the hard drive hooked up

Works great with Xbox for all those Game Pass downloads! Wish the flashing light could be turned off even when not being accessed. A little distracting.

Everything works great, no issues so far. File transfers go smoothly and fairly quickly. I have only had it for a month. The true testament of any storage device is longevity and the ability to recover in the event of a problem, which I cannot attest to yet.

I've never had any bad luck with WD. On sale these 8TB drives are hard to beat in terms of price/performance/TB. I've schucked some (WD RED) and kept some as is.

This disk works quite well but the backup software that comes with it caused my virus scanner to complain. It appears to use some questionable applications that my virus scanner keeps deleting as risky. I ended up deleting the software and using Microsoft backup instead.

Getting write speeds at about 90MB/s with this HDD. Obviously not the fastest but not breaking the bank like an SSD of the same size would.

Quality. Did a lot of research and the drives inside are what companies use for raid systems. So I know I'm getting top-grade drives for my data.

Western Digital is a brand that I know is quality and storage is something I use lots of for photos, music, and documents.

ive always trusted this brand and none of them have let me down. i have WD drived that ive owned for about 10 years that still work great.

Product just arrived, hoping the other reviews do it justice.

This is my third external he of this size from wd. It is fast and reliable with a lot of space. The only thing I don’t like about this drive is that it makes loud noise under heavy load. Other than that it will buy it again when I am running out of space.

It delivers as advertised. It works with my USB C port on the Mac and the transfer rate is excellent. It beat out everything else on price and the performance is great.

Great drive. Good read speeds. I immediately shucked the cage and installed it in a 2 bay USB attachment. Worked great. And it's a WD Red Nas drive inside!
