Customer Ratings & Reviews

Can't beat $180 for an 8TB WD Red. Excellent for Burstcoin/Sia/Storj mining. Can also be disassembled to use as an internal drive but then they might not honor the warranty.

Needed a larger HD so picked this one up. No problems and copies files quickly. I always stick with WD for my harddrive needs.

Very reliable external hardrive and excellent choice

WD 8TB drives do the trick and are plenty fast. I prefer WD to Seagate even though they are owned by the same folks these days.

So far so good. More affordable to buy this external unit than to buy the stand alone drive.

I wish I had shucked reds, but got whites. Either way, 8tb of WD storage for cheap is great.

WD drives are among the more reliable drives of the industry and this one is no different. For the price, it's recommended. It's designed for storage and light use only.

If you can get this drive on sale the 8tb drive has a WD Red drive in it that is a great buy compared to other options.

Tons of space. Hides well behind a monitor. Take no time to format and install. USB 3.0 transfers quickly. Great addition if you need the space.

Had them now for over two years running 24/7 and no issues ! I recommend this unit. Beat to wait when they drop the price to $129.99 per unit.

Was looking for something to store backups from my main computer. Wasn't expecting to get so much storage for such a great price. Easy to set up too.

I bought this to use for media. It hold lots of music and videos. Thinking about buying another one to put in the shop! Just plug and play!

Using this item for additional xbox storage space. Works perfectly and allows for more gaming! Sleek style and takes up very little space.

Very spacious i will never run out of room now. Amazing

Works as advertised. Couldn't believe sale price for Christmas. Saved $140.00. Who doesn't like that? All my movies, music and docs in one place, yeah!!

This hard drive is used as a back up to two computers and stores thousands of pictures and many documents. Back up is seamless and set for automatic.

This hard drive worked well with my Tablo four-tuner DVR. It handled four simultaneous recordings while playing a movie via my Roku media player without skipping a beat.

Great value and has been extremely reliable to date. Best Buy was very competitively priced.

The 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, disappeard 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. By the way, on one that I bought which worked fine, the SERIAL NUMBER of the hard drive did NOT MATCH the serial number on the box. That was interesting. I still don't know how to handle this but...I guess the serial on the hard drive matters mostly to WD if problems arise. So...I just thought I'd mention this in case someone out thre experiences a similar situation.

Great deal on this drive, but even at $20 more, it would be a fantastic deal. Highly reliable hard drive inside the enclosure and part of a strong backup strategy.
