Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far, it's great. I had no trouble reformatting it for my new MacMini. It's very quiet as well.

f you're looking for a great external hard drive, look no further. I bought this drive because of the outstanding reviews and the more lackluster reviews on it's sister products. What any user needs to do when buying any sort of external hard drive should expect some sort of noise. It isn't an external SSD. So expect some sort of noise. With headphones on, I don't notice the noise on this drive at all when it was performing it's first backups. With headphones off, it is hardly noticeable. I am using this drive to back up all my data across three different computers: an old laptop, a school/work laptop, and the new PC I built. Now, I will be able to access all my data from the new PC I built with plenty of room for future data back ups. I can't speak on durability quite yet. Rest assured, I will certainly update this review significantly if this dies within a year of purchase. Side note: I have been seeing things that this could have a white label or a WD red drive inside. I would prefer not to shuck this out of the casing, so if anyone knows another way to tell, let me know!

This external HD is exactly what I needed to handle storage for some massive datasets that I've been processing lately. It was quick to set up, has a stable connection, and is reliable. Would definitely recommend and am contemplating getting additionals for the office!

Have you ever had a hard drive failure? If so you can appreciate the need for routine backup of your files. We purchased the Western Digital easystore 8TB from Best Buy and now have routine backup for our PC's. The particular model we purchased is 8TB allowing for worry free, regular backups. It is very easy to use and instantly gets you backing up your data. It also makes for an excellent addition to storage space expansion. Get a WD easystore and stop worrying about backups.

These storage drives never cease to amaze me. They are strictly for storage and viewing, I recently had a huge project which was 7.8 terabytes. I backed up my entire project to this drive. It's trusted and reliable.

I have been using WD for longer then I care to say <aging myself> but this is a workhorse.. if your looking for a drive you can set up and forget about, this is for you..I now have 3 of them and keep everything on them

Lots of space for an excellent price. Came formatted for windows which is fine. Some may complain about speed but it’s a backup drive in my use case so that’s not a negative for me. You can’t expect spinning media to transfer as fast as an SSD.

Easy to use and reliable. As far as spinning disk drives go when you need a good amount of space, this is a nice affordable option. Two thumbs up.

The WD Easystore 8TB external drive is reliable, easy to set up, and works exactly as advertised. Plug-and-play functionality makes it ideal for backups or expanded storage. The USB 3.0 interface ensures fast transfer speeds. A solid, no-fuss choice for anyone needing large, dependable storage at a great value.

my son loves it he has enough room for his music and games

easystore External USB 3.0 Hard Drive is a compelling option for anyone in need of additional storage.Another particularly appealing feature is its simple set-up process. The plug and play aspect shines, eliminating complicated installations

Works well fast transfer easy to ise plug an play .

Had to return one because it was open but the replacement was fast delivery and is working great.

I have bought several of these and am amazed with how well the drives performed. I have tons of data and needed the space. These drives perform the same for me internally or externally. That is just amazing. They are not designed to be used internally in theory but they are internal drives in an external enclosure. Highly recommended. I bought the drives made in Thailand and each as the 256mb cache. They are all so far the RED NAS drives.

Small profile, Great capacity, Easy operation and set up
