Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to use and hook up to a laptop. Quick to backn up to.

I have always used WD external HD's, so I expected flawless performance. I use this drive as a Time Machine (backup) drive on a Mac. After a few weeks of use, it failed to work properly, causing me to reformat the drive again. Since then it has been working perfectly -- so time will tell if it will continue to work well.

Easy to connect and does not take up a lot of space. Good investment to buy.

Great value and works great overall. Pleased with the purchase.

Western Digital offers superior performance to competitors such as Seagate and has a broader selection of products that can serve more varied uses

Best value for an external or internal Hard drive period. These go on sale quite often and when they're below $200 it's a steal at the price. Internally these are Western Digital RED NAS Hard Drives.

Does indeed come with a Red drive. Save $$$ over buying the bare drive and you have great and speedy storage. It is even faster than my 1TB 7200 RPM blue drive at 5400 RPM thanks to platter density.

Picked up this hard drive to use for backups. Easy to use, large, very large capacity at a great price.

It was actually cheaper to buy this external drive than to just buy the 8tb WD Red drive. We needed the drive for our server. The external case will get another drive dropped in and still be of use.

Excellent product. I do really appreciate the great service that you are providing in our community. The product works well as described in the ad.

For the price and storage I am pleased with my purchase. It allows me to keep the things I wish to keep off line and safe from any hackers, ransomware attacks, ect....easy to install and easy to use.

Does what is made to do; backup my docs. It just sits there quietly in the background on autopilot working away. This is my fourth WD backup unit.

I was hoping the hd was WD Red, but it was non colored, not sure if it’s the same. The product is quiet and has a fast transfer speed. Love the huge storage capacity, no more looking for other drive, everything is in one mass drive. Great price too. Only 4 star because it is not red drive inside per other reviewers.

Price was right. Easy to use - plug and play. Just what I needed to save a ton of photos and documents!!

Love this drives. They are great for extra storage. So far they have lasted well and given no problems. Run quiet.

Works great,backs up all my music,total of over 300,000 songs

Both physically and memory, I love it. I hope it is around for a while? I leave it on separate surge protector so I can leave it turned off unless I need it. Works good, plus I don't worry about over heating.

I trust the WD brand. No brainer for me when it's on sale. Everything is good so far, good speed, quiet, compatible with both Mac and Windows. Will see if the drive can withstand the test of time!

Needed some more storage space. After reading the reviews I purchased 2 of these drives to shuck. The 2 I received were indeed WD Red drives. Worked great and nearly doubled by current raid setup.

This device works great!! I would highly recommend it!!
