Customer Ratings & Reviews

Noisier than you'd expect. It wasn't the head movement, it was the hum of the platters spinning. Performance was fine.

Bought this for my ps5 because of the limited hard drive space. Hopefully it will do the job since I have a drive on my ps4 already

I was looking for a storage solution to backup my computers at home and also store my media that I have collected over the years to include the millions of photographs of my family and trips over the years. This has plenty of space and I can transfer files very fast. I currently have it hooked up to my wireless router and use it as a networked storage to all my devices.

This is the second Western Digital external hard drive I have purchased. The first one saved all my records when my old PC crashed. I was able to restore everything, including over 30,000 photos. This newer version drive is larger capacity, and appears to have similar software, which was easy to use for restoring. It does not appear to allow synchronous updates, but I can set it to backup on the hour. I would recommend it.

Worked out to be just what we needed for storage. Slim and sleek design nice addition to desk.

This is a cheapest way to get 8TB of storage in to your computer. Just shuck and place the drive in your computer case. In my case, I did not have to do anything with the pin voltage, but I have read that you may have to do a work around in order for it to work. I high recommend getting this, looking up the video on how to shuck the drive and enjoy 8TBs of goodness.

Needed to expand memory for Xbox One. Connected easily. Problem solved. Decent price also.

Drive is fine. It's the White label that seems relatively comparable to the Reds. They run hot.

I hesitated because of a bad experience with a WD product years ago. However, I'l so glad that I purchased this to store videos and important documents. The instructions for setting up confused me but I got a very helpful WD customer support person by phone to assist. For several weeks, I've been loading videos directly from a chip inserted into my laptop -- bypassing my overloaded hard drive. I would purchase again.

I bought this expandable storage for my ps4 it has being a great choice. I like to buy games from the PlayStation store and some games can take up a lot of memory so having this 8tb portable storage i dont have to worry about running out of memory . This is a good buy and even better if you can buy it when it goes on sale.

I bought this to go to my XBOX one. Before I had the 4TB and it worked very well. But I have a lot of games downloaded and it was almost full so I bout the 8TB for more memory.

This WD External drive is everything i wanted and more plenty of space and very user friendly.

This is the second Easystore 8TB that I own. It's been relaible and easy to use.

easy to set up and use. Quiet so you hardly know it is even there.

Easy to set up. Great price. There is nothing bad about this product. All good

These 8tb drives have been my go to for my NAS drives. The cost per GB is outstanding and, at least the one I got, are not SMR.

This this is small but big on data size. Stores all my data plus so much room for growth!

Good sequential speed at 150-200MB/s for copying large files but it seems like the controller adds latency to seeks, making small file copying slower than an internal drive. Overall good value and not too hot or loud.

I love this hard drive due to the USB cable connection and large capacity. Well worth the price.

I used this drive to copy my internal hard drive (5TB) before I replaced it with a larger drive (10TB) and the transfer software worked like a dream both downloading and uploading to my new drive. Would recommend it for this purpose but not as an external drive.. Too Slow for daily use.
