Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy setup, works flawlessly with Windows File History backup

I'm using this to store downloaded files to save space on my computer. So far, so good. No problems with retreval.

I've owned many external hard drives over the years. While any company can make the occasional bad unit (or develop a problematic product line), I've found Western Digital drives to be quite reliable. This one sports excellent speed and massive storage, which is perfect for backing up all of my digital content while providing plenty of room for future growth. All in all, I'm loving this drive!

Great reliability, easy to connect. Fast performance. Great for storing files, photos and music.

I've bought a few of these lately and they are rock solid. It's a fast drive and so far has been very reliable.

Needed the extra space and the price was great on Black Friday. I've had a computer crash and lost all my info so only use externals to store info now to prevent that.

I bought this and a 4 port USB hub for my son's playstation, with this he should no longer eat up the 1TB of internet we get with cox from being out of storage on his 500gb playstation and deleting games and reinstalling games to play with his friends, some of these games are well over 100 GBs and you will find yourself having to pay overage with your internet service provider, only thing I wish is that I could plug the hub in his playstation then plug this hard drive into the hub, but I can't do that, the playstation says the external hard drive has to be plugged directly into the playstations usb, it's no big deal since I have the hub also, if you're going to buy this for your child specifically for their playstation I would 100% recommend buying a 4 port USB hub also to use to charge controllers, heads sets, cell phones, cause after plugging in the hard drive they will only have 1 USB left on the playstation to charge up stuff, the $30 4 port USB hub I also bought from bestbuy plugs into the wall so its hot all the time, you can charge up everything even with the playstation turned off, they have cheaper ones that don't have outlets and are only hot when the playstation is powered on.

The price for this 8TB hard drive can not be beat. I opened the case with some fine pointed tools and guitar picks to find a Red NAS drive. To be more specific it was: WD Red 8TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6 Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch I expect thus drive to perform like my other WD red drives. They have a fantastic realibility record both from online reviewed and through my own personal usage.

Great hard drive, easy to use, easy to set up. We use this as a back for our backup, and at 8tb, it should last us a while.

Reasonably fast, reliable, doesn't produce too much heat and easy to setup.

I have purchased 6 WD external Hard Drives over various sizes and all are still working great.

Bought it on sale. works great. Bulky power supply though. Uses WD red hard drive(s)

Picked this up on Christmas Holiday Sale Priced. Not sure how you could beat the price for 8TB. Back-up software is simple and the same for the small 2TB to the 8TB..

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

Exactly what I needed to store pics and videos. Works great.

Just fit the bill. Had a 4TB drive and was running out of space. Always trusted WD for my drives.

Great value external hard drive. I pulled this out of the enclosure to put into my NAS.

Easy to install with iMac, works great. Used as a backup to a network drive.

I've been encoding my entire BD and DVD library for months. Had to upgrade storage space. Tons on this drive. Formatted as xFat so I could use with both mac and Pc.

No complaints especially for the price. Using it as media storage on a mini-pc. Pretty fast
