Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ive had a lot of external hd's in the past, and recently jumped in to buy this because i wanted to use it as a media device on my network. 8TB is a lot of space.. only thing i dont like is the spin up time, it takes a bit to open. not too long, but i wish that time could be reduced. anyways its been reliable so far. no complaints.

I bought this to use as external storage for my ps4. It does the job. It gave my a nice 8TB buffer to my current storage. It was easy to install and setup and I had no issues with it.

This 8TB drive is virtually silent while running and lightning fast over USB 3. I have two aging 4TB drives where I keep all of my data stored. A NAS drive would likely be a better option as I do redundant backups of irreplaceable data like photos of my children growing up and other highly treasured data. However, I’ve read too many horror stories of home NAS boxes failing and bricking all enclosed drives in the process, even if the drives were removed and tried elsewhere. So, I use two independent external drives and this drive fits the bill perfectly. With two of them running, you barely hear a thing. Copying nearly 4TB of backed.up data was effortless and fast. Throughput speeds are very nice. I’ve had no issues with the drive and it comes pre-formatted in NTFS. I use it with Win 10.

Can't go wrong with an 8TB WD Red inside. Only worth it when on sale.

Seems to work well and is easy to set up and use, Well continue to explore the possibilities.

Easy to set up and use. Quick file transfer and easy to access files.

Does what it's supposed to do. No hiccups so far. Maybe get another.

Plenty of space, 8TB. I use it to backup my pictures and documents.

There is a WD 8tb Red inside. This is perfect drive for your server.

I purchased this item as a supplement to the hard drive on my X Box one. It was easy to setup and very reliable. I would definitely recommend this item for anyone needing to store large files.

Tons of storage for my files, love the small size. must be plugged in to an outlet. Would highly recommend if you have large files or need to transport them outside of your desktop.

Quiet and fast, it works! And has huge capacity. Would buy another.

8gb while this was on sale for 139. Great price for a ton of space.

High quality drive inside. Great value considering the Drive inside

I've run into some problems with the application that it comes with. It constantly opens the admin Ui to ask permission to make changes on the computer. It also occasionally keeps the computer running and making noise after the computer has been put to sleep.

It works like it should. At this price it is hard to beat the value

Bought this to save all my videos and pictures from my cameras. Transfer was fast and it was easy to install on my mcbook. Great purchase!

Easy setup and a lot of storage. Can’t complain, got my money worth
