Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fantastic purchase, works perfectly for my PS5! The price was pretty dang great too, especially for that big a size for external storage.

This 8 Tb disk is perfect storage for my multimedia files in my home network. It's easy install and discoverable by my laptops and multimedia player.

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.

A very convenient drive to archive photos, videos and pc backup

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.

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.

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 picked this up for a song when it went on sale for nearly 50% off. 8 TB is a great storage capacity and I'm quite pleased with this device.

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.

Can’t provide a review of the quality yet as it is a Christmas present. I did get it at a good price though

No problems so far. I use it as a duplicate back up for my NAS. Had for several months without any problems.

Easy to use, compact nice exterior, adequate speed.

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!

Has many great features. Easy to install and set up. Has added a lot of room for games.

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.

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.

Great little drive. It takes a while to respond if it's left idle for a while but otherwise no complaints.

This External HD is actually a high level Red NAS HD with a 256MB cache as same as Gold Enterprise Level HD. The competitions HDs are low level, low quality HDs

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