Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really nice that you can connect as a NAS OR direct attached USB storage and go back and forth as needed. Love this!

I purchased two of these and put them in mirror raid on my iMac as Time Machine backup disks. They work great and we’re super easy to configure. Highly recommended.

storage has gotten cheap - Need a large portable solution to see offsite backup for a NAS - worked flawlessly

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.

Bought for a ps5 works great and will never run out of storage. Even has a fan to keep it cool while running.

I've used Western Digital drives for years in a variety of situations. They have been dependable and consistent.

Lo mejor de lo mejor. Me salvó la vida y mis fotos

Great backup drive at a good price - just what I expect from Best Buy!

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.

It's pretty hard not to give a 5 stars. It does what is advertised. Plug it in and play. In case you had concerns, it will require the external power supply. This is a full sized HDD and USB power isn't enough. Real life usable space isn't 8TB, but it's more than enough for the average consumer. If it's on sale, pick one up, back up everything, and forget about it.

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

It’s a very good storage system but it is slightly louder than an average hard drive also it’s a lot slower so it takes longer to transfer a files.

great external HD. 8TB is a lot of space. It's a good external back up to my Synology NAS. It can be a little bit loud when it's processing large amount of data.

Have had it for almost a year and still use it to save all my photos and videos, and projects, does the job.

Be sure to look online to see if it has a WD Red or White inside. The red can be installed without any problems if you are comfortable with voiding the warranty.

I know what I bought and I knew before I bought the HDD. But I was quite disappointed to see "USB 3.0" and find it's the old style. Besides that this is a great drive! I have it formatted as a backup/additional storage to my MAC mini and it works great! Really fast and of course has a ton of space! I finally have all my pictures, videos and music all on one drive!!

lots of space for a really good price, 2 years and still working.

I found this item online and it ended up being the best deal for the amount of hard drive space you got over other products. Simple to set up and start back ups.

Hard Drive is working just fine. This is my second hard drive of this size.

I bought 4 of these to upgrade the storage in my NAS. The drive inside is actually a Western Digital RED NAS drive. I now have enough storage to last a life time.
