Customer Ratings & Reviews

Western Digital hard drives, I believe are hands down the best external drives out there. I owned a 1tb, 2-3tb, and a 4tb seagate hard drives and within 2 years of purchase regretted it when everything was lost on all of them due to different issues with the drives. Ive owned a toshiba ehd wasnt bad, but currently have several WD hard drives, 6 to be exact with the oldest being 11 years old, and never has a single issue with any of them. WD is the only way to go and the price is comparable to any other!

These external hard drives contain highly reliable NAS quality drives in them, so for the price (often on sale) they can't be best!

Excellent fast drive for the money, I'm using it to back up my movies and pictures from my phones.

Love this hard drive! It was easy to set up and install. Nothing to it! Lots of storage space at a fantastic price! I would recommend it!

Works great so far. Large and pretty fast for a non-SSD. Working great for my server

It seems to be a good external hard drive. I have had no problems with it. As some people commented, it is a bit loud when it is working but I wouldn't say that its to the point of being annoying or anything. Just noticeable.

I needed space, and alot more space, and this device provided the needs. It's no SSD, but if you consider how much a 80gb hard drive used to cost, This is a bargain you can't go wrong with.

The external hard drive is easy to use, plug and play. With 8T available, there's peace of mind for backing up everything necessary.

The unit was noisy especially if placed horizontally. Good price though for 8TBs of storage. Unfortunally I had to return it as it was too distracting (I sat right next to it and I could hear it humming even with the TV on).

No issues. Transfers at 120mb/s on 3.0 to sata. 60mb/s on network transfer. There is no reason not to have a backup of everything on your PC. 8tb is more than enough space for most people. Buy 2 because HDD's fail. Quality is average. Definitely not a drive you can drop. The drive inside is a standard HDD which you can take out of the shell. This will void the warranty but its cheaper than buying a standard drive of the same size.

Love this Storage Device it hold everything I need with plenty of Storage Space left for the Future. Great Value.

Inexpensive, easy to use, plenty of space, and in a small space saving foot print. Checks all of my boxes. Outstanding.

This is absolutely the best hard drive for the money. It has red drive inside, which is perfect for longevity and stability. It runs super quiet, and very fast. Perfect for backups. Will definitely buy again when on sale! A++

Pros: great price when on sale, no issues out of the box, quiet Cons: none, does what it is supposed to do

Decent back up drive based on $ per TB when on sale. I would not use this drive for any other purpose as it's quite loud when writing data and not all that fast. The enclosure is plastic. A USB 3.0 cable is included.

Shucked and found the same WD drive as previous model. The case is slightly different but the shucking procedure is the same.

We use this WD Easystore for backups for three computers: two desktops and one laptop, which we use in different ways for different projects. This Easystore External HD takes care of all our needs to protect and save our work, and we can use different backup programs for saving. The HD is swift, easy to use, quiet and it performs perfectly. We highly recommend this WD Easystore as an extrenal HD we know you will be happy you purchased.

Havent had any issues with this so far. It's transfer speeds seem to do alright and I really enjoy it having a seperate power supply. Lets see how long it'll last, lol.

High storage capacity of 8tb and good price In addition, the product stability of the WD brand has helped make a reasonable purchase.

Excellent deal for an 8TB WD red drive. Almost half the price of the bare drive and excellent reliability for use in NAS enclosures
