I wouldn't consider myself a power user but I just needed a large capacity hard drive to store movies and this fit the bill. With media going 4k, files are larger than ever so to get 8tb for $160 is an incredible bargain. I've spent a considerable amount of time modifying my home theater setup so every component is as quiet as possible. Who wants to hear equipment whirling while watching movies? This hard drive is dead silent and barely gets hot even after prolonged use. I am considering buying another...one thing you can't have enough of is hard drive space.

Advertised as usable on a Mac but you have to reformat it before you can use it on a mac. Getting it reformatted required a call to the WD user support line to walk me through how to format it using their app as the normal Mac format tools wouldn't touch the drive. After getting it formatted it worked fine.

Bought these to store a ton of video footage for a documentary that I was involved in shooting and they worked out just great. Gave me lots of storage space and are plug and play.

So far this is my 4th external drive I purchase from Best Buy. All of them being a WD easystore. So far I haven't had any problems with any of them. I have used them for ps4 or xbox one storage.

This is my 3rd WD external storage device. I keep buying more because they work! They are easy to set up and manage and so far I’m happy with the this purchase and would strongly recommend WD.

Large storage space with a very reasonable price. Easy to use and stable device

Needed additional storage for pictures and files - this external drive is perfect. So easy to use. Literally plug and play and drag and drop. Super simple.... I have used this on multiple PC's.

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

These are good quality drives and in fact many people have gotten WD RED drives in them, those are NAS Ware drives that usually cost 250+. If you're lucky you might get one with a RED drive in it. This is a great deal if gotten on a sale.

Great drive. Huge capacity, excellent reliability, and good price. If you are handy, you can carefully shuck the drive and use it in an NAS.

Second one I bought, since the first was excellent. Have had no issues after a year with the first one. Great price and performance. I believe this is the best drive you can get at this price.

I've been running this for a few months now, and all is good. No issues out of the box. Connects easily to my PC. Time will tell how it holds up, but so far no complaints.

Very reliable. Works well with intensive read write tasks and on all the time. Much better than Seagate (which failed quickly) and other alternatives such as USB enclosures. Recommended!

Works perfect for my PS4. My system was really bogged down because of all the data I had.. This obviously helped clear a lot of space up and I noticed that my system runs a lot better now too.

Works great for time machine on my mac! The only bad thing is it is a little loud sometimes because of the mechanical spinning drive!!

Very happy with my purchase of this external hard drive. Was very easy to transfer all of my pictures and documents from my old desktop to the hard drive.

Very good transfer speed for an external drive with large capacity and is big enough to have everything in one place without have to carry a bunch of drives around. Has a nice outer case with lots of vent holes to help with convection Cooling.

for storage of files, these are good. nowhere near as fast as SSD, but from what I hear, SSD are not good for archiving files so these are the best bet for holding onto files locally.

Not much to say. Plenty of space and Usb3. Personally used for backup of a backup then stored offsite.

Good value for the money and not putting my personal stuff out on the cloud for risk of being stolen.
