Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been using WD external hard drives for many years and have had really good luck with them, I have never had a failure, and this drive is no exception, it works flawlessly and has more than enough storage for my needs!

I have used the EasyStore external HD for two years now and it has been very useful to have instant access to backed up files. It turns on and off and disconnects easily which helps prevent data loss which I have had happen with smaller external drives. I recommend it highly.

Easy plug and play, external powered, USB harddrive. If you want on site external data storage this is pretty much everything you could ask for. Also good if you want to transfer data between computers without the need for cloud storage.

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.

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.

Great external storage bank, we love this product and use for additional businesses storage purposes. Light weight and easy to use and set up.

It's an 8 TB external hard drive. Good speed and great capacity, never thought I would need so much space but with 5 TB of Videos, Audio & Data you do need it. Real easy setup, just plug into a usb 3 port, let the PC identify the drive and start copying.

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

A good basic external HD. I formatted it to work with my Mac, and it only took 5 minutes from the time I opened the box to the time it was set up and ready to go. If you’re looking for a good, simple external HD at a great value, this is it!

Best Buy Deal of the Day had this device for an unbelievable price-- I think it was less than half the cost of the bulk OEM same-drive-in-a-bag. I am sure that the software and housing work great, but I shucked-out the drive for use in a server. It was easy.

Easystore drives are performing very well, so far. Using them for music collection and backup. Grduated from 2 TB drives to the 8 TBB to insure enough room for collection.

It's the only external hard drive I use. None have failed me. They are filled with many treasures for my older years.

Easy to set up & it is silent and works just as described in the accompanying material.

Got it on sale making it a solid deal. Mine has been running in the enclosure for almost a year now. I do use an 80mm USB fan to help pull warm air through the enclosure. A cool hard drive is a happy hard drive. Or something like that.

Just plug in and ready to go, This is my second- plenty of useable space for all of my music, docs, pictures, back-ups. Not bad looking sitting on the desk just have to keep the dust off- would reccomend to be an essential component of any system.

Well constucted external usb drive. Write true read write usb around 86 mbs. Not terrible for a usb external drive. Easy enough to open and turn to an internal drive for better performance. Like all hard drives, you will pay a premium thanks to chia

Good external storage. Large enough it should handle most peoples needs. USB 3.0 much faster than older drives I have had. Was able to back up files from 4 different computers, including a lot of large video files and still haven't used 50% of the capacity.

Easy to store and backup and fast. Love the size i can place it anywhere without it disturbing me

I've been a long time fan of Western Digital hard drives for their reliability, and this is another accessory winner for my devices. Great reliable storage and competitively priced. As long as you are careful with this product, it will last for years.

Fast, affordable and lots of memory. Works perfectly for my media files.
