Customer Ratings & Reviews

Shucked Easily. Mounted it in my UNAS 8 Bay DAS and it worked perfectly. Would buy another one at 119.99 when they get back to that price.

Great for the price point would recommend to others

This thing is great bang for your buck. And it’s reliable. But, it’s a bit big.

My 6-th purchase in recent years. Fast transfer speed (150 MB+) and sturdy construction. Reliable.

This is a good and reliable 8TB external hard drive for my Windows-10 laptop computer, and my desktop computer. I use it to store backups.

Have used WD externals before and this was a great price on sale for an 8tb drive. Needed something this big for digital backups. Could also be taken out of case and used as internal drive

Great drive and highly portable. Will Look great on your desk. I had to purchase a second one since I already filled up the first one.

It is nice to have the piece of mind that all of my data is safe on this external hard drive. Data transfers are quick, and it's nice to have it connected to my NAS using the USB 3.0 port.

This item has my vote! Finally have a hard drive with enough space for all my photos!

First one purchased was defective.. the connector on the hard drive did not line up. Thankfully BB swapped it out for me.. I have the same drive I purchased 2 years ago.. still going strong.. these are connected to the Xbox x and Xbox 1

Bought this for a PS4, does as intended, adds plenty of space for downloaded games.. doubt I'll run out of space now.

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

I used to think 2tb was enough then I moved on to 4tb now that my music and movies have outgrown my 4tb this is the next stage in digital storage. You can not go wrong with a WD product.

WD PRODUCTS ARE always solid. easy to install and setup. was using within 5 minutes

These have been popping up on sale lately for between $149 to $199 which makes these a steal. If you just need a back up drive, you get a ton of storage for a great price. In my case, I needed it to replace a dead drive in my NAS. Inside these (as of writing) are standard size WD Red drives which are perfect for my needs. At the sale price, it's significantly less than buying a retail 8tb WD Red. Local Bestbuy had them in stock and staff was great.

this harddrive provide me with plenty of storage for all my media needs. its reliable, fast, and compact

I love these drives and have several of them. I haven't had good success with the reliability of other brands, but WD has never let me down.

I back up my pc to this, then back this up to cloud. This is not the first WD I have used, and I have been problem free. I would buy again, if needed. That's a lot of bytes for the money.

I wanted to do a back up for a PC I have and didn't want to put the files on my network drive. This external drive is big and it is USB only which is what I was looking for. Worked fine.

This backup is working great for my primary video/animation workstation. The size helps backup the large video drives nightly.
