Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Excellent Hard Drives. Speed is good, I wish it had better ventilation. Tends to overheat with heavy use.

This external hard drive was perfect for what I needed it for. Loads of space and easy use.

My son is getting his second Master's degree, working full time in a research lab and applying to medical school. He is constantly writing papers and collecting research information and data. He wants to be able to access everything no matter where he is working from, and make sure he never loses any of his work. This external hard drive holds enough so that he will be able to use it for years and years.

Bought two for use with a small media server that cannot fit 3.5" HDDs. Both have been setup in a Windows Storage Pool and on 24/7 for over a month now. Zero problems.

For the Amount of space, the Plug and Play, and the Price.. Get 2.. I'm Buying another

Great product does exactly what I needed it to do.

Love the amount of space and reliability of WD, will be buying more on BF next year.

Works great with Linux Debian 10 (buster). I use it with ZFS snapshots and it's a great backup drive.

Runs way to hot. I leave my computer on overnight and the hard drive is over 55 degrees when I use it in the morning. Under load it goes over 60 degrees.

Great external HD with USB 3 and 8 TB of space. Great sell price at Best Buy.

This is an excellent hard drive, huge capacity and great speed. I have it attached to a QNAP NAS and when not in use it goes into sleep mode. Will buy another soon.

THis was a great deal and it works as expected. IT's a good buy when discounted

Easy to set up, small foot print drive. Reformatted for Mac - no problems, fair price

I only buy these when they go on sale and I shuck them for use in my NAS. The first couple I got a few months back were "white label" drives but performed similar to Reds. I bought six during this sale and they were all actual Reds, and as expected, they scream. Obviously this violates my warranty but at essentially half the price of a non-external Red, I can afford to buy a couple of spares.

This is an excellent external drive for home use. The drive inside the one I purchased in April 2017 is a WD80EFZX which is the WD Red line. These drives are 5,400 RPM so they aren't extremely quick but they are good for home use especially when connected through USB 3.0.

Fantastic size, compatibility, use, quality and price!

Works like its supposed to. A bargin for 8TB of storage.

The western digital external hard drive is a great way to auto backup your Mac sand Pc computers. The backup software worked seamless with both operating systems.

1st, kudos to Best Buy for safe and hassle free curbside pickup. As for the WD drive.. The (sale) price per TB was attractive and the performance has been very good. I plugged it in to the USB port on my router and leave it on all of the time. It is a great backup destination for all of the computers in the house. Poor Man's NAS!
