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

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

I have been pretty much a fan of WD drives for years, still am so decided to get this 8TB drive to fit all my memories after all these years. Especially since I really don't take photos, I take videos of my travels and memories so I need ALOT of space. It's been working well and the transfer rate has been really fast, though I think that might have to do with my new comp. All around good purchase!

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!

Have used these drives before. Easy to set up and no problems. Price was right.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

8 TB is exactly what I needed not too much not too little good price at 139. Around 2019 I bought one for 159 still a good deal. Even when not on sale. Comes with software on the website such as recovery data and power options. Haven't really messed with them but I seen them there. There's a couple of reviews on YouTube that are good to watch.

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.

Easy to set up, ample space for the price. Really happy for the purchase.

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 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.

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