Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have just purchased and set up this WD HD 8T. Everything you really need comes with it plus many opportunities to spend more on other programs...I'm not doing that. This is primarily a back up source for the rest of my data which amounts to a WD 2T My Book, 1T internal drive, 500G Solid State and another 500G WD Passport. We did purchase the extended warranty.

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

I've been very happy with this purchase. We've been using this to backup our business computer files each day. So far we have had no problems. This hard drive is quiet and works flawlessly.

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.

Got a great Black Friday deal on this to expand my storage (again) on my Xbox One X; $130! Western Digital is my recommended storage solution. They have great speeds and I've never had any issues with files being corrupted.

This is just what I was looking for, Great product at a great price!

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

Requires power, expect to take up an outlet. Easy to use right out of the box. Great capacity, fast data transfer. Using mine as extended storage for PS4. Games play without issue, frees up my ps4 drive with plenty of room to spare

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.

Step 1 - Buy this drive Step 2 - Take the WD Red drive out. Step 3 - Put it in your NAS. Step 4 - Profit. Literally.

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

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

Was looking for a while to expand my storage on ps4. This works so well and very easy to set up. I will be using this on the ps5 and would recommend if you are always having to delete games.

Needed for mass storage of my pictures etc for my genealogy project

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

We were looking for an external hard drive for our Xbox One this was the Best Buy we could find including looking online it was actually cheaper to go with an a terabyte than 4 terabyte really happy with it easy to hook up and use
