Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very easy to use. 8 terabytes lets me back-up everything I have, with room to spare. I have always had good experiences with WD hard drives,

I love this product, no kinds of hiccups and easy to us.

Worked on the spot. Pretty plug and play. Plenty of space for whatever you use it as.

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!

Great product I have several of them and using a Mac but also connecting it to Windows I reformatted it and it works great.

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.

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

Second easystore in about 5 years. The old one is still going strong. Bought this for a backup no problems. Averaging through USB about 225 Mbs. WD80EDAZ-11CEWB0 is what is inside read with crystalmark.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bought it and I love it. Large storage for my media without the headache I had with smaller drives

So far, so good. I read that these have heating issues, but this one is barely warm. No malfunctions and it reads and writes fast enough.

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.

Easy to set up this exterior drive has met my expectations.

This external hard drive is full of memory and has a great look to it.

Great backup size for a reasonable price. Works with USB 3.1 without the additional price for USB 3.2 disk drives.

Need storage? Want a reasonable price? WD Easystore always hits the sweet spot between price and quality. I own multiple of these and have yet to have one die on me.

I have bought several Western Digital hard drives over the years and have always been satisfied. It would be great if they had USB-C inputs so they would be faster but for the money, I think they're a good value.
