Customer Ratings & Reviews

I don't know how I will ever use all of this space. The drive performs as expected, although it does run a little warm, it would have been nice if they put a fan in the unit to help keep the unit cool, heat = hard drive failure so we'll see how long it lasts, but so far so so good

Power glitches from our local LA utility company meant our video/audio studio kept losing hard drives (and occasionally entire computers). While we have a vast collection of pro-grade external drives, these 8G WDs are inexpensive, work well, and are an excellent way to back up data when you're really in a bind.

My daughter bought this for more space. Plug and play. Haven't had any issues with it. Works great for what she needed.

I own more than 12 of these. I typically get the WD My Book model but the store was out. Thus far, no problems. I have long been impressed with their reliability. I also feel the price/value is fair. I'm sure that when this one gets full I'll be getting another.

I am a fan of WD this drive was a great price, easy set up, very quiet operating and overall it is stylish. On top of that it is 8 TB a lot of room with this one.

I run my own graphic design and videography business and needed a new external drive to replace one that I had filled up. I was looking at the 4TB version and saw the 8TB on sale for an amazing price. After several mishaps with Seagate drives, I typically only use Western Digital and this one does not disappoint. It has a lot of storage capabilities and was a breeze to set up. I use a Mac and it comes formatted for PC, but it was really easy to format for use on my Mac. As video and graphics work requires a lot of storage space, I will definitely be picking up another or more of these!

Just what I was looking for, item performs with no lag.

Easy to use right out of the box. Plenty of space inside and small footprint outside. Trusted Western Digital product.

Have 2 large WD Easystore External hard drives. They work well with my laptop.

Western Digital makes some very good drives. This easystore appears to work well, as expected.

Western Digital always deliver excellent quality and performance in every product I have purchased. I am using this external drive as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device connected to my router USB port. I love the storage capacity the WD - Easystore 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive adds to my home network without the need of having to pay a monthly cloud storage subscription to backup my important documents, files, music, and photos.

Works great! Exactly as advertised. Very pleased with the product.

Easy to run and reliable for our files. We use the easystore hard drives for our photo and video files

Easy to use and set up. Good size. Reliable. Good history.

Reliable, and looks good. The size is pretty compact and it has USB 3.0 so it's fast to back up files. I always buy WD brand instead of Seagate.

Huge storage unit captured in a nice small sleek case that stays on my desk unnoticed. Easy to use.

good fast pretty quiet HDD, but for long copy using cooling pad - temperature gets high - recommended by WD 35 Celsius - get high till 45-47! .... Will not last long like that. 2 years warranty pretty ok, but I will stick with MY Book model - 3 years, just for instance. Included Software is pathetic pretty much. WD- it is 21 century already! Come on.

This is a great external drive. I use it for secondary backup activities, including the drive and system restoration settings of a WIN 10 Pro system (I also use a cloud service). This drive is very large by capacity but small in size. It is fast, as well, so make sure you plug it into a USB 3.x port. It also works fine in USB 2 mode. It runs silently. At least I haven't heard any whirrings yet. Probably never will.

This external USB was very easy to set-up, very responsive and fast, and so far I have enjoyed having it. It does not take-up much space and it has already proven its value to my office tech. I would definitely recommend this product. Delivery by Best Buy was lightning fast!

As with all WD external hard drives. The performance is great and capacity is large, but the best thing of all the price is just right!!!
