Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Bought this for my xbox one. Specifically for the upcoming xbox one x and the 4k assets that it will bring for certain games. This 8TB version is definitely enough storage for all my games. So far I have 40 games installed (not all big file sizes tho) and only used up a little over 1TB. I highly recommend getting this hard drive.

put it on my new computer and share it on my network! great for backing up data! I have lots of photos using it for genealogy work!

Tons of space and a great price when they go on sale.

Have you ever had a Hard Drive you had everything on, when it just quit working? And you had no backup? How'd you feel? Well, this is my "Back-up" to my "Back-up" to my "Back-Up." I never want that to happen again. Research says WD is a good brand and the price was right.

I bought this to store all my HD video contents as well as back up data files. The unit worked reasonably well. I don't have it powered on all the time so I'm not really stressing it. Setting up was quick and easy. Transfer speed was reasonably fast. I wish the unit was a little bit slimmer but I can understand the potential thermal issues that can be experienced (perhaps they can use some metal in the housing to conduct some heat away?). Overall, it's a good backup disk to have but the size is big.

great hard drive. plenty of capacity. plug and play.

Excellent storage capacity. Great price. Easy setup.

Very easy to use. And is super quiet. Looks good too.

Easy to install, great price. Working as I expected.

Plug and play. Got it for a great deal and love it.

It was more than what I was needing at the time but it's always better to have more room than not enough for extra/back up storage space.

Worked great right out of the box! Saved my pc drive from massive clutter.

I bought this external hard drive to back up my desktop and preserve thousands of photos. The device was super easy to set up and so far has performed flawlessly. It's also quiet when running. So far so great!

Never go wrong with a WD product. This one was easy to set up for my MacBook Pro. The store shipped my order quickly so the transaction was as good as the WD Drive.

Great price, easy set up, great size, great price.

First drive showed errors in Crystal Disk Info, but Best Buy was happy to exchange! Second one is a winner and going strong for months now. Has a good Western Digital Red drive inside that I removed for a PC tower install. Couldn't be happier! Best Buy had the best price anywhere...living up to their name! Great product!

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".

My 4TB external USB drive is getting full. I have almost 10years worth of collected family photographs. Time to get a new one and start the 2018 photo folder. Great drive. It is a RED WD internal drive which means high quality drive, not your cheap ones. So quality is there and longevity and reliability is excellent.

This is a must buy if you're looking for a reliable and fast external USB 3.0 drive. The hard drive inside the enclosure is a WD 8TB Red NAS drive. Use it as is as an external drive or remove the hard drive and put in your NAS or in your PC. Make sure you wait for it to be on sale so you can get at a great price too.
