Customer Ratings & Reviews

Lots of storage for all your photos and videos. Easy to use, just drag and drop.

We bought this 8tb external hard drive to go with a new iMac we bought. We have only had this for a couple of weeks. But so far it has performed flawlessly! The drive came formatted for Windows, so I had to reformat it to work properly on the iMac. But that was simple, and it has worked perfectly ever since. It will be nice to have all my data in one place again, with my old drives as backup!

A whopping 8 TB of storage from an external enclosure that contains a WD Red drive. Zero complaints. Great value.

Easy to use as a backup for photos and videos. Lots of storage in a small case.

Excellent hard drive. Set up is simple, operaton flawless. Great value.

I bought this to have a backup for my NAS. I was hoping to use this connected to another computer to allow some space separation between the two hardware devices, but alas the software doesn't support backups over a network. Once I got past that disappointment, the device was very easy to set up and configure for scheduled regular backups. I am not using the supplied backup software anymore (as it didn't work for what I was trying to do), but that would have worked fine for data on a 'regular' computer. I've not been using it very long so I don't know about endurance over time but so far it's doing exactly what I bought it to do with no issues (just not quite how I was hoping it would do it).

It's doing the job. I appreciate the safety of knowing my data is backed up in case of a crash!

Worked out to be just what we needed for storage. Slim and sleek design nice addition to desk.

The hard drive works great. Easy to install. A quality drive at a great price.

works great! Easy to install and use. Crazy amount of storage for the price!

I bought this external hard drive to use for system backups. It does the job very well. I do not use the provided backup software, but rely on other software. The drive is well ventilated and does not get abnormally hot during the limited time I use it. During use, it is very quiet. The only cons I have about this drive is its shiney black plastic housing. It shows fingerprints with the slightest touch. I would have preferred a matte black finish; anything to lessen the fingerprint issue. And like other external hard drives from Western Digital, Seagate and Toshiba, it lacks an on/off switch so you have to unplug the power brick when not in use. Other than that, I am totally satisfied with this drive.

Got this drive. Like my other WDs works real good, quiet and fast

I bought this external hard drive for PS4 download content storage. The read/write speed is seamless and I have not had any issues thus far.

Looking for something large, here it is - 8TB drive. I got two for backup. No problem after months of using it.

Drive is fine. It's the White label that seems relatively comparable to the Reds. They run hot.

Easy to set up. Straight forward harddrive, just plug and play not like others with lots of security set up.

Great price for a large hard drive. If you need affordable and reliable storage, this is the one!

This is a great product and was an amazing price with a easy set up with alot of space

I've had this for a couple of weeks now and it's working great. Will get another one when it goes on sale again.

This unit has worked well since I purchased it. There is enough storage space for video files and all the other things on multiple drives on my computer. I found transfer speed very good. This drive comes with backup software that is easy to use and is configurable to back up some directories and not others. The same software will also control multiple WD drives.
