My daughter have a business and this is a great item to use for a back up all her information. It is very reliable and it saves a lot of information.very important for her business

This drive runs cool and is quiet for the most part. No issues so far. It is a good value for an 8tb drive.

Stored terra bytes of movies and music on this drive

An amazing amount of storage....easy to use. Never loose those pics because they are backed up

This is my third drive and have had great luck. I love the cloud but also like having a hands on copy of all my media! Bigger is always better and with 4 K here you will need all the space you can get. Be sure to have multiple HDD's for your home media and keep one off sight in case your house burns down ect. On a side note be prepared for it to take a while when transferring all your media. Use the fastest USB port you have!

Great price for an 8TB external backup device. They are even packed with WD Red drives. Can't beat it.

Great desktop back up. You can never have enough backup.

Great harddrive. Easy to set up and has lots of space on it. Would recommend to anyone.

Fast external USB 3.0 storage, suitable for backups, photo & video archives. Price was right, as well.

This is my 2nd portable HDD, but first of WD brand. The software was very easy to install, the setup was also easy. I was able to connect this to my laptop and transfer everything from my old drive to this new one. Then making the settings for the new HDD to backup my laptop files couldn't have been more straight forward. You can schedule a backup for whenever you want or manually do one when ever you feel like.

I purchased this because I had a 4TB drive for my backup to my Mac and it was getting full (have it partitioned with 1.5 TB for backups and 2.5 for storage). This allowed me to increase my storage and amount for partitioning. I ran across an issue when I tried to partition that I had never had. I had to format the entire drive to MS-Dos firs and then go back and partition part to Mac OS and the other part to EX-Fat. After that, no issues.

It has the capacity I was looking for at a great price. So far it's performing very well.

Great Drive, no issues with install works great. Was worried about review across the internet that after time it stops working. Had the drive a month so far and seen no issues thus far.

I got this , cause I needed more space . It works fine . And functions ok I guess. I had smaller seagates before . And they were super fast . And took no long time for it to work , once running, it was fine ,but actually a tad noisy. I put it in a cabinet behind some stuff , a long ways away from me . Not sure , if I would buy another one . That’s kind of sad , cause , I have quite a few WD products , and they all work fine .

This USB drive is not the first drive of this make and model for me. I purchased it again because past experience gave me confidence that the additional one would work as expected. It did. I did not give a durability rating since none of these drives have been in service with me long enough for a meaningful rating, yet. On the other hand, all drives continue operating without failure or difficulties - as expected.

Great drive its fast reliable and gives me room for movies. Was a great buy during Christmas sale

Is good. Very good. Mucho good. Big bass. Very comfy

These were on sale when I bought them. The price per TB was definitely better than anything else out there. I ended up pulling the drives out of the enclosures and added the bare drives into my home server. The RPMs are lower than I like to go but for the price I made an exception. And in all honesty in a simple over network transfer I don't see any lower speeds than my 7200 rpm drives. Longevity, we'll see. I have had them less than a month.

Scored an awesome deal on this one. Good amount of storage. Easy to set up.

This 8tb drive can store tons of files and is very easy to use.
