Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was debating between this and a Seagate hdd for my xbox one. Previously I had a 5tb Seagate that quit working. I ended up going with western digital because it was quite a bit cheaper and honestly, you can't go woo bgg with western digital or Seagate. I like that this hard drive stands vertical, it includes a power cord and USB. Works perfect on the xbox one, only crazy thing is you have to format it on a computer and then on the xbox. Already that is what I was prompted to do. Just an extra step, after that it works flawlessly.

Works quick tranfering photos good for backing up images and other documents

Stores everything and then some. I have always had good luck with western digital products.

Purchased during cyber monday or cyber week, whatever. Not used yet but seems a good deal

so far so good with no issues whatsoever. WD is not known for reliability issues so it's good value for money if you get this cheap

So far, I am getting good drives (8,10,12 TB) and bought them over the time. I also bought one 8TB from Amazon beside Bestbuy. They are all running great! I took out 3 of them out from the enclosures since if something is going wrong, I couldn't read it anymore when connected directly to sata on my mobo or other external reader. I think it is the matter of block writing format that WD USB enclosure is using. -12 TB I left it out as cold backup for my photography -10 TB as hot backup for my photography. I also put my daily files to the drive. -8 TB as my Linux drive for steam games and software application -8 TB with original enclosure as media files -8 TB unused for now These drives are quite. Good for backup, storing active games installation files, media etc. Whenever I need to edit my photos I move them to my NVME or regular 2.5" SSD and move them back after my edit. The curse of having large raw files from my mirrorless camera, you need large storage. I am planning to buy a 14TB or/and 16TB soon this week. I still have a lot of 500GB,1TB,2TB, 3TB and 4TB drives around from Western Digital, Seagate, Iomega. So far out of 15: -2xSeagate. One 5TB portable I purchased failed spectacularly in just short few month. The 500GB is running great. -2x Iomega. One 1TB failed around 10 years ago. I think one of them is still running but I left it is collecting dust. -The rest of the drives are Western Digital and they are all still running good with only 1/10 which is a 3TB failed after 3 years. Some of them are over 10 years and still running. It is crazy. -The last one I couldn't remember the brand but I gave it away. I wish I am getting red drive but I learned recently WD using SMR for most of the drives I purchased which is a let down. As long as they are not failing I am happy.

Worked well. I have since switched to the smaller easystores, since I had one of these die on me (it happens though), and the larger size is harder to store. Also, I would highly recommend taking the extra time to find their old backup software; the new version bloated my computer.

Fast, dependable hard drive at a great price. Plenty of storage space for my needs. Works great and highly recommend.

works as it should ,easy plug and play no problems

Not bad for storqge but programming included is a bit confusing. One progrqm you have to download and then purchase full versiom and security program doesnt even work.

Excellent value-perfoms flawlessly-highly recommended-The WD quality at a great price that you can expect!!!

Advertised as usable on a Mac but you have to reformat it before you can use it on a mac. Getting it reformatted required a call to the WD user support line to walk me through how to format it using their app as the normal Mac format tools wouldn't touch the drive. After getting it formatted it worked fine.

Okay 8 TB at such a low price? You can't do better than that. USB 3.0 for fast transfers and a solid hard drive internally that's not junk. This is a great buy!

I am using the drive for TimeMachine on my MAC. Works great.

I connected this unit to my Synology NAS server as an extra backup. Enough space to currently back up my data 9 times. A very good price for lots of storage

This seemed like a good value at the sale price for 8TB. From my understanding, the innards are a WD red drive, which is high quality.. Hoping it lasts a long time

Excellent value, fast hard drive. A little tricky to format for Mac, but working well!

Great hard drive. Works just as intended. Easy to install, backup automatically. Get this on sale and you cannot go wrong. The Easystore edition is only at Best Buy.

This drive is easy to use, has great storage capacity, and makes backing up data less tedious. I liked it so much I bought an additional one for a relative.

Plug and Play - works well with Windows 10 environment. Initial access sometimes is a little slow if drive is idle for a longer period. Overall has been reliable.
