Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use and speeds are very efficient and reliable. Especially on sale when you're able to get it for less than $20 a TB it's worth the money.

I have had no trouble with the item I purchased from you

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

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

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

I did a little research on the best external drive to use for storage and this one came highly recommended from several sites I visited. It was easy to attach to my PC and is working flawlessly.

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.

I'm finding that some of these have double the cache memory inside, which is great! MASSIVE capacity, awesome price. I recommend everyone should have something like this to back up all of their computers and devices.

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 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!

It's a great external drive. What more is there to say?

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.

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.

Used to backup all my systems using Veeam free backup.

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.

Use the WD software to format... works great on my Mac

Great External Hard Drive. Storage for all your needs.
