I bought it to be my Xbox external hard drive so I can install all games and never run out of disk space. So far it is still about 20% utilized. It seems to be fast to load and works perfectly with the Xbox. It would be perfect if it has a power switch...

got it on black Friday good price works great I think that says it all

Easy to use and tons of space, love it. Bought another just because.

It's fast and silent. and BIG!!! At this price it's very affordable

Love the 8tb size. Hols lots of data. Easy to set up on a Mac

Bought this on black friday at a great price. Easy to set up, super fast USB 3.0, and large capacity. I recommend storing duplicate copies of everything, as I learned the hard way many years ago when I lost everything. This product helps with redundancy and minimizes my risk of losing everything again.

I bought this one close to Thanksgiving. I got an amazing deal on it. The best part is it got 2 years of warranty. It is sturdy enough and not so bulky, easy to carry around too. A very good storage solution at a very decent price.

I bought 9 on Black Friday $140 a piece. All were delivered by next Friday as promised. Drives contained WD80EMAZ 256MB Thailand Whitelabels with TLER enabled.

I’m a big fan of WD drives- especially for things like backing up important data, photos and videos. This drive is solidly built and runs quiet and cool. It’s fast too. If you are considering an external drive, this is an excellent option.

I plan on using this drive to back up as much as possible of photos and documents that I would like to grab in case of emergency. I think this will be a good way to reduce a bit of last minute anxiety and decision-making. I came up with this idea when the Skirball fire struck and I knew people who had to gather valuables, photos, documents, etc. I hope that this drive will obviate some of that.

I got this hard drive Black Friday to expand the storage of my PS4. So far I am very pleased with its performance. Set up was simple and quick. So far it’s doing it’s job and I haven’t yet run into any snags.

Got this on Black Friday at a great price. Had quite a few of this brand of hard drives at lower capacity and none of them have failed yet. Great for high quality videos and movies that require gozillion gbs.

Backed up 2 of my 4TB into my new 8TB WD. Transfer rate was very fast on my mac mini and quiet. I had to use WD software to format the hard drive. Got it on black friday for $129.99 plus tax.

he good. These hard drives work well when they do. Bang for buck, it's one of the better deals. These fail less than the Seagates. I consider this model at a higher standard than most other brands aside from Hitachi/HGST. Performance is good. Data speeds are fast as long as you're copying large files. The hardware itself rarely fails. I've only had one hard drive fail hardcore out of 10-12 of these backup drives in the last 8 years. So, I'd recommend this drive. Now for a short story: Ok, so I've bought about 6 of these over the last 4 years. Out of the 6, 4 worked and still work. I bought 4 from BB and 2 elsewhere. I was lucky because I had 2 fail rather quickly. The first one had errors in the copied files when I checked them right after the back up completed. The data on the second one, after 3TB of data was copied to it, disappeared and Windows asked to "repair the volume", which it did and recovered the data. Turning it off then on, it happened again and this time with permanent loss of data. Fortunately, it was only a backup and I just returned the drive to BB and they replaced it with a new one. BB was really good at exchanging both devices with no hassle. Great experience. I highly suggest to buy these hard drives from BB and not other online retailers to avoid handling. The new ones worked great.

White labeled WD RED drive WD80EFAX 256 mb cache made in Thailand inside. Works great, awesome deal. Might actually be a re branded HGST Enterprise drive. Either way great buy at 130.00

Maybe you mentioned that you had problems storing your favorite files, then buy this fabulous external hard drive, I believe that there will not be a lack of space for a long time ...

This version of the Easystore 8TB came with a WD white label drive. Basically same in every way as a red drive but cheaper. I chucked the drive and put it in my Drobo. Works great.

This is a 8TB drive which is a huge capacity for data storage, with it I can consolidate multiple low capacity drives, that is a lot of space saving for me. Highly recommended!

Adds up more storage to my PC hard disk for growing needs of hard disk space for photos and videos, back up my phones pics and videos as well to free up space in my phone :)

Great deal from reliable manufacture. I got the Black Friday price but even at this price its a great deal for the hard drive you get. Western Digital has never let me down.
