Customer Ratings & Reviews

I trust the Western Digital products. I have a few of these external drives including passports, but I needed a main external drive for just about everything I have done. This big 8TB external drive is just what I needed for ample storage of video and music files. Works great with Mac as time machine backup ! Not a solid state drive but very affordable for the amount of storage.

Works as expected. Using in a NAS (just an old laptop running OMV). Maxes out a gigabit connection. Had to format to exFAT

easy set up and does what it's supposed to do, stores tons of games for the xbox

I bought this one because my old 3TB external HDD (Seagate Expansion Desktop) broke down. It has been working pretty well for the past three weeks, writing peaks at about 180MB/s and reading peaks at about 190MB/s. One thing I like about it is that it's a lot quieter than the old one, I know because I put it on my desktop, about 15 inches away from my head.

I've purchased several of the Easystore drives over the past few years for archival and online storage. All of them have performed flawlessly with no errors or problems, and my oldest one still in service is over 2 years old. I never use included software (I always start new drives out with a full read/write error check and a reformat) so if there is any software included I can't attest to its usefulness or lack thereof - sorry. However, they function just fine as "normal drives" and you can add your own encryption software as desired. It might also be useful to know that these drives do not use any "hardware encryption" - if the enclosure ever becomes damaged, it is possible to simply remove the drive and install it into another enclosure in order to recover the data. Some WD and Seagate models do "on-chip" encryption in the enclosure, rendering the drive's data useless if the enclosure ever fails - this drive does NOT exhibit that behavior, which may be desirable to some buyers. For those curious, these drives use the helium-filled design that WD acquired from HGST. Most often you'll find a "white-label" (EMAZ/EZEZ) drive, but sometimes they will contain a "red-label" (EFAX) drive. There's no practical difference in performance between the drive models however.

Replacing a seagate 3TB drive that died. Easily reformatted to macOS. Is going to take a while to fill this up. Planning to host my iTunes music and movies on this drive

Incredibly slow but decent capacity per dollar if you need a ton of space.

Excellent external storage. Not the speediest of access for read/write, but it serves the purpose

I had three external hard drives. The first two were either very difficult to use or would not work at all. This one however, is neither of those things. I simply followed the directions that came with the drive and, it was up and running. I used Microsoft file history to create the back up and it started working immediately. Great product.

Great. Fairly quick transfer speed. Its very quiet and not very bulky at all. I recommend

Good quality excellent price work flawlessly not issue less then 90 I pay

THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE OPERATES EFFICIENTLY AND HAS THE NEEDED SPACE THAT I WANT.

Great drive nice and quiet. Plug and play. USB 3.0 so very fast transfers.

Great drive (contained a RED drive) with solid performance. Great backup drive for all needs.

While not the fastest 3.1 or 3.2 USB, it can transfer around 93MB-S so for an external drive not too bad...

Up & running in less than 5 minutes. A ton of storage space at a great price.

This devise worked fully as expected. Super easy, plug and play setup. Reasonable read/write speed. Good value.

Great price. Need to transfer Photos as my computer is old. Great Sale for 8TD

I no longer have to decide what to keep and what to let go of: 5TB of memory! I don't have to worry if I remembered to save my work: it does it for me. A great product

Great product just not so much compatible with IMac. It does not know when to turn back on after the computer sleeps. I always have to disconnect and connect back.
