Customer Ratings & Reviews

We usually buy Seagate, but they had a great deal on this drive. Yes, it is a very good drive. The thing is that although we take really great care of our drives, we have had a Seagate take one small drop before and was fine. This drive wound up getting knocked over by someone, and it was a smaller bump than the Seagate, and this thing wouldn't recover at all. Tried all kinds of programs to at least get the data off, and it was completely gone. I know that the bump was not WD's fault. That is why I still gave it three stars. However, I think it should have been more durable than that and also should have been able to at least recover some, if not all, the data on it.

Bought to back up an iMac, needed help from WD to initially make storage compatible. iMac updated and now time machine doesn’t update to easystore. I’m sure it can be fixed, it’s just not that intuitive to make it work.

WD Easystore has a solid build and is not too heavy. The read/write speeds are great. I would recommend this hard drive to everyone

I wanted a hard drive that would be able to store a lot of music, movies, and pictures, and this one happened to be on sale and available in store.

Bought this because I read that it has the WD Red drive in it, which is a NAS drive. Got home and was able to confirm that it is a red drive. Very happy.

I bought this, dissembled it and took out the hard drive to use it with my computer build, I saved 100+ dollars doing so.

Is a good external hard drive came with schedule backup. This is the WD - Easystore 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - Black. Easy setup. I have had it for one month now. So for no problem. I Would recommend this to a friend.

fast convient western digital what else do I have I 've been buying western digital hard drives since the late 1980's never have I had a problem

This hard drive right off the bat is amazing, quick loading and despite needing a power cord makes no sound when running

This was a really nice sale on this external drive. It's a pretty quick transfer with the USB 3 that's included. It's sleek and compact.

No problems with it so far. If I haven't used the computer for awhile, sometimes I have to wait a few seconds for the drive to load up and be accessible.

Worked well at first, then started to say it couldn't back up. To be fair, could be user error. Not sure what's going on but I swtiched to a digital cloud service because I couldn't risk losing all of my business files.

Seamless integration with my network and it went to work immediately as backup storage for several up my office devices.

I removed the drive and threw the case. Hard to beat an 8 TB drive for the price.

The memory capacity is excellent for saving videos and pictures. I can save without worrying of running out of space.

Was a great device to use with my xbox one x but once I upgraded it to my xbox series x i sold it

Good enough speed for an external drive. Large storage makes it a no brainier for back up and miscellaneous storage needs.

The Hard drive crashed out in less than 9 days after use. Now I have to take it to data salvage and it likely cost More than the drive itself. This really sucks

Goes on sale periodically making it a really great deal. Only downside is after a while if not being used it goes to sleep so next time you go to access it it can take 10-15 seconds to wake up. Perfect for a backup drive.

I purchased this to take the hard drive out of the enclosure. Luckly I got an 8tb WD Red which I was able to add to my desktop for only $150!
