Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this at a great sale price. Meets the need of being able to back up my pictures and other important files.

The storage I get from this hard drive is great. Great buy.

works great as a Time Machine backup for my Mac mini!

Got this drive to strap on to a mini pc to run as a media server, and it works excellent. Fairly quiet for a desktop drive, and so far working perfectly. Always go for WD!

Thsi product is surprisngly durable as i have dropped it a couple of times. But all the data is still there and the read write speeds were not affected.

I bought this to serve as a replacement for my backup disk, which was giving signs of imminent failure. Setup was quick and easy and I had it up and running in no time.

SO FAR NO COMPLAINTS WITH THIS REPLACEMENT, I HAD TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE OF WD-Easystore BECAUSE THE UNIT STOPPED WORKING. I RECOMMEND TOTAL TECH SUPPORT PURCHASE

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.

Setup was easy as plug-n-play. Read/Write speed is quick. I wish there was easier to understand instructions on the individual settings and sharing options.

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

Very high quality product. I purchased this one to work from and wanted something durable, high speed and light so it is easy to carry. So far, it has met all expectations. Great product and would recommend.

I originally purchased a WD Easystore 10TB hard drive for my son who enjoys gaming on the PS4. When we hooked it up it wouldn't format giving us a message that it wasn't compliable with the system. Apparently the largest hard drive a PS4 can handle is an 8TB. Next step was to return the WD10 model and buy this unit which was a step down and am now reviewing. We hooked up the WD Easystore 8TB and everything went as planned. Easy formatting with the PS4 now 8TB bigger!

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.

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.

WORKS GOOD THANKS GREAT PRODUCT MUST GET TO SAVE IMPORTANT STUFF

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

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

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.

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'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.
