Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Initially bought a 4 but decided to upgrade to an 8 when there was a smaller difference in price.

I just got a new camera and higher end gaming computer for processing photos and videos but needed more room for storage. I wasn't really looking for so much as 8TB, but saw this on a deal of the deal (for slightly under 50% of the current price). With the great customer ratings, it was too good a value to pass up. Easy to install and so far, works great. Assuming it lasts, it will be a long time before I need any more storage.

easy to install. Loads fastest if plugged to USB port on the PC itself. Slowest when plugged to multiport usb router whether powered or not!

Great storage option. Only issue was I bought it and there was an even bigger storage option went on sale. No worries this will do for a while.

This easy store device has been extremely useful as an onsite backup for my files

Very fast usb 3.0 drive. Has WD 8TB Red NAS drive inside. I bought 3. Two went into my WDMyCloud EX4100 NAS as backup drives and the third I am using for offsite external backup. Great drive.

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

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.

Faster transfer speeds than I expected. It can be a bit noisey in a completely quiet house, but luckily I don't have a completely quiet home to often!

I bought this to replace a 6 TB MyCloud that is no longer supported. It was easy to set-up and works fine. Massive storage!

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 grabbed two of these to set up a NAS with a Raspberry Pi 4. They are working just fine for what I am using them for. I can't complain.

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

This has performed well for my needs. As an amateur photographer I use this drive to backup my collection of raw files

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.

Love it I want to use it for movie and tv storage. I am in the process of migrating my entire video collection well see if it all fits

Excellent, it worked for my saved storage of pictures and more information

Great price and would not pass up this drive. Able to store all my documents and old family pictures. And still have room to add more.

I've had good luck in the past with WD hard drives so this should hold up as well.
