Customer Ratings & Reviews

This external storage works perfect with PS5 to store PS4 games. The PS5 does not yet have the ability to store actual PS5 games on external yet, but we had plenty of PS4 games. Since storage is always an issue with gaming systems, we didn't want to take away the space for PS5 games on the console and this does the job. We had no issues setting it up. Just plug and play. I have used many externals for home and work and have always gotten WD brand. All of them are working still with no issues.

This external backup harddrive works great for my business. It is easy to install and operate.

Easy to use, and fast. Great deal. More than enough storage. Had fotos from 2003 to 2022 and still plenty more storage space.

Very easy to use. Simple plug & play. Lots of storage for backup and files.

I have a few of these drives, but they're not all of the easy store variety. And I have to admit this one, the "easystor" drive, is by far my favorite. It reads and writes faster than the other drives. For some reason it seems to utilize the USB 3 function better. And of course it has WD name so you know its reliable and dependable. If you're hesitant of buying this drive dont be. They're well worth their price, and you wont be dissatisfied!

I needed a larger external for backup and wanted it to be a Western Digital - my most trusted brand. This drive looks nice, takes up little space, and was very easy to set up. With special holiday pricing, it was a great find!

I purchased two of these and use one as backup for my computer and one for additional file storage. They work great and are a great value. Very simple to hookup.

Great product very easy-to-use. More then enough space to store everything you need.

I purchased this WD 8TB drive because of the vast amount of storage it offers, as well as the reliability which comes with Western Digital products. It's the ultimate storage solution for any PS4, Xbox One, or Steam Library.

Works as advertised and is a great affordable option for storage. 4 stars instead of 5 because it's not cutting-edge with the sleekest design nor fastest read-write speeds. But it gets the appropriate job done for the price point.

This is my fifth 8TB Western Digital External and i must say i love it, granted it is not as flexible as my three 8TB Seagate externals with their dual USB hubs and build in wifi but then again the WD is also less expensive and from my past experiences, more reliable. I would rate performance fair to good, you can stream up to 10GB video without any lag or issues and most files copy in a reasonable rate of time. With that said, i would not recommend it for trying to play larger 4k video content as there seems to be a bit of lag, and even on a powerful system after 18 to 20 minutes in the audio can sometimes get off set from the video but i believe this to be more of a USB bus constraint than a drive output issue. Otherwise there is no reason to not buy as many of these as you need for back up and even extra storage space (just remember to set power settings to "power down drives that are not in use after 10 to 20 minutes) as this will keep them cooler and thus increase life expectancy. So let that drive power down if you aren't using it. Also great for off site backups. As a final though i compare this $159 8TB to my two 24TB NAS Boxes (which cost well over $1,200 EACH and i am reminded of what a great deal these 8TB & 10TB WD external drives are, so pick one or more up today and please enjoy and find me on Youtube at MiloHajek for more tech tips and other updates on all kinds of tech.

It was easy to connect and move files. A good bargain for the price. Would definitely recommend thus product.

Works as it should. Quiet, spacious, includes power cable and usb cable. Setup literally takes about 45 seconds from opening the box to hooked up and done

Great drive that hasn't had any issues. Easy to install.

Excellent product and easy to set up. It’s rock solid and reliable. It includes backup software and also has great customer service and technical support

This is a fantastic value for an 8tb when on sale. The internals of the drive is very stable and reasonably fast. The drive is quiet and cool. 8TB is plenty of space. Basically everything one wants in an external drive.

Holds a huge amount of information. Use it as a computer backup and to save information related to genealogy.

This hard drive works very well, lots of space and boots up quickly.

Got this for Time Machine backups on my iMac. Very easy to install and set up. Runs quiet. Seems really nice for the sale price.

I bought this for my Xbox One for extra storage. Very easy to use. Basically plug and play after Xbox formats the drive. Does not get hot if idle for a while.
