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

Easy to use. Light and durable. Holds a lot and is very quiet.

Great storage space and runs smoothly !! I highly recommend !!

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.

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

Product was easy to use and is wort the price. I do a lot of editing and video work ao I neec a lot of space and memory. It is great product to use.

I use this product as a backup storage to store ps4 game information on in conjunction with my ps5 system. It works very well about 90 to 95 percent of the time . Occasionally I will get a message saying that it was not shut off properly and it repairs itself with a small patch or update. Other than that I would have given it 5 stars. It certainly has more than enough storage for what I am using it for and performs great!

I bought this thinking it was network ready. Well, turns out it only has USB and only works with my computer. I fly drones and I video all my flights and take hundreds of pictures in RAW, JPEG, etc. When I ran out of room on my present hard drives, I knew I needed a lot of storage. Well, I’ve loaded over a year’s worth of videos and pictures on to this massive hard drive… it still has 5 Tb of space left. I do not need its automatic backup. But I set it up anyway and it backup my complete computer without any problems. Well worth the money. Cons: runs hot, no Ethernet connection

Well it hasn't died within the first month or so and that usually means you will not have a problem with a HDD for quite some time. It has tons of storage for a great price which is what we all need for storage. If you want deep storage, nothing will beat a HDD because they will not have "byte loss" like SSDs can when not used for extended periods of time.

Good product. Exceeds my storage needs. Highly recommend.

Using it on my MAC desktop. Had to format for my MAC but that was super easy to do. It took less than 2 minutes. I use it for my Time Machine backup. I have had it for 2 weeks and it runs great. How long it lasts, is the biggest determining factor as to how good this hard drive is. I have had great luck with WD so I am confident this one will be good also. It replace a 4tb WD.

I got this for use with a PS4 Slim. It was a good thing I invested in a drive this size, Digital games take up a ton of space! Easy hook up, formatted without a problem and works well. The reason for the loss of a star is that it runs HOT. I had to open up a larger hole in the entertainment center behind it. I would definitely recommend using it in an open area.

Easy to use with any operating system. Also, has been reliable equipment to use for set-it and forget it projects to keep stored.

Huge storage in a tiny size and affordable price; runs quieter than older versions and competitors as well. Very simple to set up and use.

For the sale price these drives can't be beat. More reliable than the sea brand and for those interested inside are Red model drives which if purchased as an internal are $100 more. Yes, the warranty is 1 year less than internal drives but for $100 it's worth it IMO. They aren't the fastest 8tb drives but they run cooler and that helps lend to a longer life span.

Easy to setup and use. Have been using it for 10 months now. Great for keeping space available on the computer. Use it for back up of my computer and photo storage mainly. Have plenty of storage space still available. Just what I needed.

Huge, cheap, fast, reliable storage. What more could you ask for?

Good price, good performance, reliable brand. Not much more to say about the drive. The same rule applies to ALL backup drives... Make sure you do a healthcheck on the drive before you "use it". The scan will take 10+ hours. I ended up using a free tool I found on WD's website.

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.

portability, and reliable performance with transfer speeds very fast
