Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this so I could have a place for old photos that were on my phone. Works as expected.

A bit slow booting up but that’s expected since its a HDD but other than that it runs smoothly was able to move all of my data on to this and it made it so much easier to have everything on one drive rather than having different flash drives

I purchased this external hard drive to replace a Seagate drive that died on me suddenly. So far this fits my needs. It's very quiet and writes quickly. So far it fits my needs well. It includes software for windows and Mac.

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

I bought 2 of these for my Son and saved a boatload of money from the Holiday Sale at BestBuy. He also bought 2 to use as backups for the first set. He has tons of movies that require a lot of storage and requested this model. I shopped around and couldn't find a sleeker design or a better price anywhere.

Fast drive at a good price. Great for backups and storing photos and videos.

This is a great hard drive, I have purchased several of these and they work great. The supplied power supply goes off to the side vs. hanging down so that may help with multiple drives connected to the same outlet will fit nicely.

Bought to store movies. Plenty of space and easy to use.

Bought one of these for my son in 2019 and another one in 2020. He already had one so now he has three. He shoots and edits a lot of video so needs a large amount of storage space. He's happy with the three that he owns.

I plugged it into my Linux computer ad was able to easily format it as ext4 for use on my Linux systems.

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 :)

Drive worked as expected, transfer time great using the drive in its case. Removed the drive and installed in computer, works great as well. You cannot beat the drive, a Western Digital Red that is inside. Ended up purchasing three of these, price per GB compared to a bare drive makes it a easy purchase.

My Hitachi external back up was no longer working went to Best Buy to purchase another one. Was Installed by Ryan of the Geek Squad so far so good.

this one is the cheap one with no password just so you know. works great. lots of space.

this is a small footprint , large capacity unit. I have not got any feedback yet on it's operation and efficiency.

8TB right out of the box. Found by both a MS Windows and CentOS systems. Data transfer slightly faster than earlier WDC drives.

It was easy to attach the drive and format it. Worked as expected.

For the money, it's a great investment in having a backup drive for all of one's files, especially being able to keep up a local backup of what one has floating around online (in case online services start dying off one by one).

Once again I had to get another external hard drive in order to back up all my files. I don't store anything on my computer's drive and usually make sure that I have at least two (2) copies of everything. I have used Western Digital drives for many years and never had a problem with them. Great product!

WD is awesome, I have several WD external drives and this one 8TB drive is now my secondary backup for my other WD drives. Why secondary, drives fail, cryptovirus (hopefully never), one drive to grab and/or have in my "In case of emergency quick grab bag", you know Hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, etc. This is one drive that I trust, one drive maker that I trust and Western Digital is the one brand that I trust. Not to mention that it's super easy to use, plug it in and in a few seconds your ready to use it. Catch it on sale and it's a great buy! Keep safe!
