Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to serve as a replacement for my backup disk, which was giving signs of imminent failure. Setup was quick and easy and I had it up and running in no time.

excellent for the price. 8 TB. sleek look. it was actually recommended by the store associate you sent me some options online. excellent service to Yamila at the Hialeah store!

I love having this because I can plug it in to my PC whenever I want and free up space on my PC by safely backing up my large files. Still working fine for me after much use.

Great drive with high capacity for backup. The only real issue is it does not cool as well as it should, but it really is great to have all that capacity. I must be pleased, this is the second one I've gotten. Sure is a long way from the very first hard drive I ever bought; a 20MB (yes MB) drive. This seems to work great and quiet.

If you need storage space, this is a pretty good option.

Works great. Not complicated and easy to use. Much easier then I expected to setup

Works great, I only buy western digital. Price was good

Great HDD for everyone! and so cheap! and it has RED HDD

This was on sale and for a great price. 8TB HARD DRIVE.

I was looking for a hard drive big enough for family photos and videos that was user friendly. This hard drive was plug in and go and there is a lot of space. Recommend to anyone with a lot of family photos

I’d highly recommend one of these external hard drive especially at eight or 10 TB I pick this one up on sale and I’ve had zero issues with it I highly recommend them

Love my new WD 8tb hard drive, lots more storage space.

I like it so far even though it is not 7200rpm drives inside. I use it to backup my home videos and pictures from our vacations. That way we have an extra copy on one archive drive instead of spanning multiple external usb drives like in the past. Hopefully, it'll last a couple of years before we need to upgrade to a larger drive.

I usually get Seagate hard drives, but they didn't have any in stock when I had a drive that went bad on me (something I haven't had happen for years). Thought I would give this drive a go since it was well rated and since it was on sale for a good price for the capacity. Its speed is very good... five star on that. We had a little difficulty with it kicking out of iTunes now and then (with my iTunes library being on it), so that is the one thing that lowered my rating slightly. No other problems so far.

Sturdy and solid, and the drive operates as it should.

Drive works great as these tend to do. Fast and no crazy encryption on the controller board, so you can easily rescue your data if the electronics fail. I shuck mine pretty quickly though. The drive in the enclosure I got is the white box version of the 8tb wd red. Keep in mind that there was a SATA POWER spec change recently so if you have an old psu and the bare drive won’t spin up it’s because of the change. You can fix the problem either by taping over pin 3 of the power connector with a tiny piece of tape. Or getting a new power supply. Or using a molex to sata power adapter (which for unrelated reasons does not trigger the problem) I do not recommend the adapter for long term use as most of them are badly made and flaky.

I bought this for use on my Xbox One to store all my games on. I don't think I'll ever be able to fill this thing up! 8,000GB worth of storage. I highly advise buying this, it's a steal!

Used to backup all my systems using Veeam free backup.

Was running low on storage space and purchased this drive while it was on sale. At $20 a TB, it's a good deal. The WD Red drive inside the case make it a great deal. I''ll be set on storage space for quote some time.

These are at a great price point now and work really well. I can't speak to longevity, but the current batch of these should have RED drive in it. On sale, this is far cheaper than buying REDs if you have a NAS.
