Customer Ratings & Reviews

This my second unit and I use this to back-up my office information. The unit is well built and a bit heavy giving a good standing weight. Also, cosmetically has a slick look being a good addition to the office desk environment.

I need to have this for copies of my precious music collection. Just what I needed. There is just not enough storage and if something goes wrong with my other two external hard drives, I have this to back up all my collection.

This is a great value for a drive - just what you need, no other gimmicks to get in the way of using it. Unlike the MyBook Series of drives, which have built-in hardware encryption that you can’t turn off (meaning if the drive case and usb board get messed up, your data is gone), the Easy Store drives don’t get in between you and your data - you can remove the drive from this case and use it in a different one (which I recommend because these cases seem to keep the drives at a way-to-hot-temperature) - ideally one with a fan for cooling.

I'm a video archivist and need a lot of storage. These WB drives are great. I own 4 of them in 12TB and 8TB. WD makes good drives. I buy nothing else.

I replaced a Seagate with this sleek HDD. It is faced and never fails to show up on my Nvidia Shield like my Seagate did. Great buy and cheap as well.

Shucked 2 of these and put them into a QNAP NAS. So far, so good.

Quick writing and loading! Good small size and sleek design.

Needed a large external storage and was tired of several smaller sized devices cluttering my work area so chose this device. So far so good, easy to convert to Mac and no problems encountered.

Really easy to setup, doesn’t take up too much space, fast/reliable. I’m using it plugged into my router for network storage and it works great.

From what I can tell this is working good so far. Need to just make sure it continues to work well over time.

Easy to install and use as a major backup drive for me

Have a dual-boot Win10 ' Linux PC - easily partitioned this large drive to accommodate both operating systems. Been working well (can hear it slightly when booting - then very quiet). If it keeps performing this way over the next few years, would raise the rating to 5 stars.

I can't speak for the quality of the USB enclosure since I shucked this drive the minute I got home with it, but the drive inside was a white label drive and works quite well in my NAS.

Fast connection, lots of space, reliable brand. Works for all my needs

Magnificent . . . I have two 4TB WD Drives, one 4TB WD Drive, and two 4TB Seagate Drives for Video and Audio Backups. Since it is a desktop HDD, it does require a power brick and will not run off the computer without it. I usually disconnect the drives and store in a cool dry place so I am (usually) not worried about electromagnetic damage from power surges or the like (also have UPS). 8TB is Nice . . . But I Will Need More Space! I will probably end up buying the 10 and 12 TB shortly depending on how I rotate the A/V across the drives.

These are excellent hard drives and provide a huge amount of storage for a great price. I use this with a small PC for media streaming and it works great.

Works as intended. Not much more to say about it..

Great Price, great quality, easy to install, and comes with tons of cool features, like backups for social media accounts and adobe creative cloud. Definitely worth the buy!

Low and behold, I bought 2 of these drives and they both contained the coveted WD Red labels with 256mb cache! There's an app you can run to tell you what model number drive is in it. WD80EFAX that's the magic model right there. I would not hesitate to buy it again for the price I paid.

The best TV ever and for the money. It fits the living room perfectly. It is clear, classy and always, has its presence. Very easy to connect and takes very little room. It is probably the best TV, in terms of size and value for money for the longest and forceable future. No regrets whatsoever.
