Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a Mac user, and this device was easy to connect, Good product overall.

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

This is a very good drive to have. You can keep all your files and everything else on one drive with space to spare. Lots of room to keep it all and at a very good price can’t be beat.

As a photographer I save many raw images and jpeg files. I archive EVERYTHING never knowing when I might need that one special image. With 8TB there is plenty of room for all my files.

Works well. Setup was easy & now I am backing up my data regularly

Good and fast extendal HDD. I have found these to be very reliable.

I purchased this model after looking for a few weeks at different brands and sizes. I noticed that it was a Doorbuster item this month for December and decided to take the plunge. For the $99 I spent plus tax, I couldn’t be happier. Fast, reliable and quiet. 8TB of space is more than I need. I use this for my MacBook Pro 2017 model and it works flawlessly with Time Machine. Only gripe I have, but nothing I am really complaining about simply because of the price I paid, would be that it’s a disk drive; would rather have had a Solid State Drive for speedier service. Hands down a great value and would recommend to anyone if this fits their needs.

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.

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

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

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

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

Connected easy to the mac book and was easy to install

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

The performance of this drive is pretty good, I purchased this to use as a Steam games drive in my computer, but it can also be used with the Xbox One, PS4, or any other game console that supports USB storage. If you don't mind opening it up, you'll find a regular 3.5" desktop SATA drive with performance similar to the WD RED line of drives, you may even find a WD RED inside depending on how old the stock is.

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

Super easy to shuck and install, no need to even cover the pins like older versions. Shuck, plug in, and boot up!

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

Western Digital simplicity. Lives up to its Easy name and is easy to set up and immediately starting adding files to the drive. Using on USB 2.0 desktop and no problems connecting.

I've been using this drive for a little while. It was on sale when I bought it. So the price was great for the storage size. But compare to three other external drives that I own, this one runs hot after about 20 minutes of use. So I unplug it after two or three hours using it. I don't know if this is normal for this type of drives which has plastic cover. My other drives with a different brand have metal cover which conducts heat better I believe. So far so good. I hope it lasts long so I don't lose files I saved in this drive. Time will tell.
