Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's a drive. WD has done a great job of brining this down to the affordable level. Notice that it does require both a power and a data cable (as compared to some smaller drives that can run entirely off USB). This seems to like one USB port more than another on my laptop. So if you're getting less than ideal transfer speeds, try another USB port. At these prices - there is no reason not to back up!

I've used WD drives for backups for years. This one was no disappointment, either. It gives me lots of space for plenty of backups for a pretty good price!

works as it should ,easy plug and play no problems

This is a great drive with a HUGE amount of space. I like the reliability of WD drives. I've never had a WD drive fail—unlike other brands.

These hard drives are speedy, reliable, & spacious. Bought two so I will have a backup of the data on one on the other. Caught a good sale!

I did a small research about the easy store and found out that the HD inside of them is the $300 WD RED harddrive , this is a premium HD, it Has a power outlet and a usb outlet , but it will turn off when you turn the device off , no need to plug it off the wall , it is working fine with my ps4 for now , just plug it in and ps4 will do the rest , i had the WD my passport 4 tb before it and it failed after one year if light use , so i wanted to try this , i will updating my review soon , in case something new happened ,

Not portable but does the job! A bit hard to set up if using Mac but works just fine

Great deal for the price I got it. Hooked it up to my ps4 pro and it works perfectly

Bought it to use with my Xbox One X as my previous external was smaller and had performance issues. This drive is fast and hasn’t given me a single problem yet. Although with any hard drive I always recommend getting the geek squad extended warranty because you DO NOT want to go through Western Digital if anything should happen down the line. Trust me on that one. WD will try to fight you tooth and nail to avoid a replacement and even if they do honor the warranty you will only be given a refurb. With Geek Squad it’s a simple exchange in and out no questions asked!

Does exactly what I need it to. Good value, more memory than I know what to do with

I like this external hard drive. I like the the simple way to control it in website

So far so good. An 8TB external at this price was too good to be true but I gave it a shot and so far very happy. Easy to set up and transfer from computer to hard drive. Accessing unit is quick and smooth.

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.

This is a very large external drive. It is relatively fast USB3 for an 8 TB drive.

great value for the amount of storage. easy to set up and start the backup process

Quick writing and loading! Good small size and sleek design.

I edit a lot of video. Being able to just drop my footage off on the hardrive without worrying about space is so great. Plus it’s cheap

At $160 for 8 TB of storage, I feel this is a great value. I use it for external PS4 storage and it formatted and works without issue. Highly recommend.

I have purchased a WD drive previously in store, This is better because of the USB 3 connection. Fast and lots of space!

Great product all my files automatically save and are secured yet accessible when needed.
