Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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

It works very well with my mac and pc. Can copy files really fast.

Excellent quality product that required little to no setup time with my laptop.

Needed it to organize photo and video files for our business. Works like a charm!

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.

Good price for 8TB external drive. Transfers from this drive to NAS drive over GigEthernet connection at 60MB/sec. Not the fastest rate, but still very good performance.

Bought this to consolidate several computers worth of pictures, documents, games, movies onto one drive. Should be able to fit everything onto this. Here's to hoping...

Good device at a decent price. Would recommend to anyone looking for backing up data.

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!

Excellent long-term storage. Great price at BestBuy

This is a decent hard drive for the price. Easy to use. Don’t drop it.

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

This is the best External HDD I have ever bought! Couldn’t beat the price anywhere!

It was purchased to replace the husband's drive that failed. So far it's working great.

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.

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.

This 8tb external has great quality and holds a ton of pictures, videos, and movies.

So far so good! Set up was easy. Hopefully this will last a long time
