Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a couple of smaller 2T ext storage drives and needed more space. I got this monster for about the same price I paid for the smaller ones (each). Easy to set up, Easy to use. WD makes great drives!!

Does exactly what it is intended for. Pretty much just unbox, plug it in and start using it. I used this to replace a flaky WD Game Drive and after several days/weeks or heavy usage it's still cranking as expected.

The WD 8TB External USB Hard Drive is good for storing old files, images, and videos.

I bought this product for storage and I really like it. Worth the purchase!

Looking to expand memory on my all in one and the customer service is amazing answered all question and a tech staff even suggest the right plug n play for the external hard drive. Great shopping experience, staff very knowledgeable.

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.

This external hard drive has been very reliable and large in capacity

Using this as a backup drive for video footage. Not editing off of it but so far it's done the job.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

Performs well as a backup drive. Easy to setup and easy to move to other servers as required.

My SSD hard drive had a scare that it might be failing and that's a horrible feeling. Luckily I went onto the best buy website and ordered for in-store pick up. I got the last one in stock. It was a great steal and it was on sale. I did quick research right before buying and it happened to be on sale, i needed something in store right away, luckily i chose to buy and pick up. When i went into the store, the guy had no idea what he was talking to, he tried to get me to buy the other WD 8TB hard drive that was almost $100 more. I brought it home and it was a plug and play, I backed up my hard drive over night with ease. And it was also a WD RED which was even a better score!!!

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.

Excellent hardware! Seamless storage usage and great for business and personal storage.
