Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great hard drive with CRAZY amount of space. Bought for work and I could imagine this thing taking years to fill with documents and videos.

i am using this hard drive with my Dell server T340 since few months very fast data back up .i am very happy with this purchase.Highly recommended.

[Employee of bestbuy] Good and fast extendal HDD. I have found these to be very reliable.

I bought this WD easystore 8TB to replace my 500GB external USB hard drive when it died. This is a huge upgrade in terms of HD capacity. I connect the WD easysotre to a docking station so whenever I plug in my 2-in-1, Windows File History would back up my working documents on an hourly basis. 8TB provides adequate capacity for my backup purposes. The black case, in an upright position, fits my working area well and does not take up a lot of space. I was lucky enough to receive the 7200 rpm HDD. My HDD is 5400 rpm. It always takes time for it to spin up for the hourly backups. The spin-up always gives me a little hiccup as I work (type, type, type) on my 2-in-1. The HDD is noisier than I prefer as it reads and writes -- but I can live with it. As a backup drive, this WD easystore serves my purposes.

Very confident that all my files are secure with this hard drive. Drive is perfect for everything including your games on consoles/pc

Got an excellent price on this item at Best Buy during a sale. It seems to work fine although set up was a bit confusing. Not really plug and play. It does make some noise. Not totally quiet. The real test is if it will last, and how long, so since i’ve Only had it for about a month, this review is not conclusive.

This is a great product, works as described. A much needed purchase for me.

This external has a very nice professional NAS level WD Red drive inside. The drive manufacture date is recent and it's very reliable. Only regret is not getting it on even more of a discount :D

This is the 2nd WD 8T after the first one works really well.

WD backup was much faster than I expected. Easy to set up, I don't even have to think about backing up because it does it atomically

The 8TB EASYSTORE is super quiet while the 8TB My Book Desktop drive had an annoying low pitched vibration that could be heard and felt as it sat on my desk. In comparison, the EASYSTORE is dead silent and I don't even notice it. The 8TB WD EASYSTORE costs more than the 8TB My Book Desktop HDD but it is well worth it to me . It is rumored that the 8TB EASYSTORE uses the higher quality WD Red NAS disk which is known to be quiet and reliable.

I have several hard drives that I use for work and personal photos and videos. These hard drives are dependable and I have not had any of them fail.

If you see this one, buy it. I'm backing up everything on this beauty. Awesome prices, would love to see more colors and designs for this product.

I love this unit allowed me to have me cell phone storage back.

I’m not the most up to date and tech savvy, but I use this to store my movies and video game roms with zero issues. Cheaper quality ones would always crash and leave my data corrupted, well I purposely cut this off mid use a few times and the thing is bulletproof (not physically and shouldn’t of had to say that.)

Fantastic price for tons of storage. This western digital storage device is, as usual, easy to unpack and install. 8 GB might seem like a lot in storage but certainly will hold for the future.

put it on my new computer and share it on my network! great for backing up data! I have lots of photos using it for genealogy work!

Very good quality external hard drive for the price. Very easy to use, setup, and begin transferring and storing data. Came with some junk on it that I had to remove so that wasn't so great. Otherwise, this is a fantastic external hard drive.

What can I say, its an external hard drive and it does what its supposed to do. Speeds are decent as far as an HDD goes. Caught this on sale, it was a good buy. So far so good, I'm happy with this one.

Quality product, Very easy to use. love the design.
