Customer Ratings & Reviews

turned it on. It worked. It's 8gb. I might take it apart and put the ****er in my box... usb 3.0 is still kinda slow IMHO. No issues. meh.

What can I say, they are WD reds with a lower warranty. Pull them apart and throw them in a NAS. Price on sale is fantastic. Hopefully one day i can replace these with SSDs.

Compact size is good but would have liked to see an option for not storing filed as Zip files

Sturdy and solid, and the drive operates as it should.

Can't beat $180 for an 8TB WD Red. Excellent for Burstcoin/Sia/Storj mining. Can also be disassembled to use as an internal drive but then they might not honor the warranty.

I own two of these. I don't know how they work as external drives since I took them out of their enclosures to use in a server. As far as drive quality though, I've had no problems. Good price per terabyte.

I've been using it since I bought it without a single issue, excellent product and it's fast on access

I purchased this Drive to back up my Qnap NAS. It's formatted as EXT4 and I works great running flawlessly with the QSync app in the background.

So far so good. More affordable to buy this external unit than to buy the stand alone drive.

I wish I had shucked reds, but got whites. Either way, 8tb of WD storage for cheap is great.

WD drives are among the more reliable drives of the industry and this one is no different. For the price, it's recommended. It's designed for storage and light use only.

If you can get this drive on sale the 8tb drive has a WD Red drive in it that is a great buy compared to other options.

Paid like $125 for it. Fair priced. I've seen some other 8tb hardrives go for alot more. Real simple to use. Plugged into ps4 and the ps4 asked to format external drive and I said ok. Easy as that. Took like 2 minutes.

This hard drive worked well with my Tablo four-tuner DVR. It handled four simultaneous recordings while playing a movie via my Roku media player without skipping a beat.

I have a 3TB WD external drive, but needed more space. Couldn't believe the value I received on this drive. Plug and play, and everything works smoothly.

I have purchased these before and they have been used and held up well. They are more expensive now than they used to be but so is just about everything.

Tons of space. Hides well behind a monitor. Take no time to format and install. USB 3.0 transfers quickly. Great addition if you need the space.

Great deal on this drive, but even at $20 more, it would be a fantastic deal. Highly reliable hard drive inside the enclosure and part of a strong backup strategy.

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

Was looking for something to store backups from my main computer. Wasn't expecting to get so much storage for such a great price. Easy to set up too.
