Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product and great deals at Bestbuy. Im always looking for ways to save money.

What is there to say, 8TB of storage. What a world that can offer that much storage and the price has risen but then aren't all things going up. 35 years ago 8 MB was hard to imagine then they went to 20 MB, Thought it would never ever get this big. Waiting for the PB.

needed it because I had another 8 TB start to act stupid. So far this unit has worked flawless.

I use these all the time for storing video project files. I've never had an issue at all.

Great Backup, simple settings and easy to use. Just select the drive you want to get backup and let the software do it's job. You won't even notice while you are multi tasking on your pc that the backup is working on the background.

Works well, and with other HDDs, if you decide to shuck the drive and plug in directly.

great price for the storage capacity easy to use and self explanatory

Love it best product ever! It’s always my go to hard drive

This thing has been a life saver in terms of being of several points of backup. Plug and play. Its easy to use and set up, and will have you being thankful if anything happens to your main drives.

My and some friends keep a "music vault" where we have over 170000 songs and over 500 movies, over 35 complete series of various tv shows. This 8gb is more than what we need, give us room for growth. GREAT BLACK FRIDAY PRICE TOO!!

WD Easystore drives are fast and high capacity for a relatively low price. This one was no exception, allowing me to add to my home server without much of any trouble. Diagnostics identify mine as likely housing one of the "white label" WD Red-comparable drives, and it's acted just like any other so far. Would very much recommend this, especially when it goes on sale. Hard to get this kind of storage value anywhere else. Originally heard about this series on Reddit and I've not been disappointed.

Massive storage for people who need the extra space. The only issue is that it has to be plugged into a power source which isn't a huge issue but can still be irritating if you don't have enough outlets.

This easystore 8TB hard drive is the third 8TB WD unit I bought and replaces two smaller external drives. As usual, it is easy to set up and works flawlessly. I don't install any of Western Digital's software, no scheduled backup for me, I just use the drive to store files on an as-needed basis. In the past, I have had external hard drives crash, so I believe in redundancy. This extra-large hard drive is just what I need to handle my OCD problem of storing more and more data files. Sad, isn't it? Don't answer that.

Smart sleek places well with your desktop. Excellent storage

This WD 8 TB USB 3.0 external drive is perfect for all your external storage needs. High megapixel, 14-bit RAW, DSLR photographs take up a ton of space and this external unit is the answer. I can store primary copies on my internal hard drives and backup copies on the external drive. This unit goes on sale all the time and is a great all around unit. I own two. I bought the second because the first one checked all the boxes on what I needed for an external hard drive.

Easy to use, works great, and its small and doesn't get in the way.

It stores much of my video archives in one place rather than having files scattered over three of four external hard drives. Good price for a quality 8TB hard drive.

Good storage for the price. I use it to back up specific files on the network at work. I wish the WD Backup software could see the network drives, but I can drag and drop the directories needed. Very quiet and so far no errors.

Reformatted to exfat so I could use on both Mac OS and Windows. Set up was seamless. Working as expected. Took advantage of a Daily Deal and very happy with purchase.

Purchased this so I could keep it connected to my main computer for regularly scheduled backups. I am a photographer and need a reliable system. Have never had issues with Western Digital products. This is my 3rd external hard drive I have purchased. Still using the others for additional backup redundancy. I do keep the door open where it is running in my cabinet desk and have hole drilled in the back wall of the cabinet for air circulation to keep it from overheating.
