Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got 32TB for a great price of 150/ per 8TB Great product works fantastic.

I have always bought this hard drive and haven't had any complaints yet... In the past, I started with 1 TB. After getting few of the 1 TB ones, I bought 3 TB... but needed more... so when I saw this one go down in price (same as the price i paid for my 3TB couple of years ago :) ), I had to get this..

quiet large storage with cheap price. and the speed is also acceptable.

Tons of space! I hope that it does not die! Some of the large capacity 2.5 inch drives are very un-reliable. I hope this 3.5 inch drive is better.

I like the product it works well for me. They last for a long time.

I got the stuff before thanksgiving , it was a good price, but disk is better than its price. Speed, silent,huge capacity.l am very happy got it.

Works great. USB 3.0 is much faster than older USB 2.0 WD external drives I have. It is plug and play with Windows 10. It comes with WD disk utilities on it, but I don't use these. I have other real time backup software running. This 8GB WD HD is "air gapped" from my Dell XPS 8920. I use it only for backup of an external WD 4GB HD. I bought it on sale at BB, great low price.

8TB is a lot of data storage and this drive does the job well.

Desperately needed more storage this was reasonably priced and works great

Great for backup, easy to setup, and contains the red NAS drive inside.

Easy to use both on the Windows and MAC side. Lot of drive for what you're spending. It's been a solid back up storage drive for me.

I'm using it for backing up my computer. The device install was easy. My one challenge is figuring out how to manage space the WD Back up software uses. But that may just be me not taking enough time to study associated documentation. But it's nice to have all my changed files backed up daily without having to do anything but leave the omputer running at the time I selected.

So far, after transferring the bulk of my SSD to this external drive, I have complaints with the hardware. With such ample amount of space, I'm able to store all of my photos, videos, and games that don't require insanely fast load times onto this drive. I can't say I'm unhappy whatsoever with the purchase.

I have been using WD external drives for years with minimal problems. This one maintains that reputation. Blazing fast data transfers via USB 3.0, as long as file size doesn't exceed the onboard cache. Some problems with Win 10 'losing' the drive, but that was corrected by connecting the external drive directly to my computer, instead of via my USB hub.

Picked up this external HD on sale as a door-buster and it's a great value. Speeds are decent and the drive is not too noisy. Does the job well.

So far works well, easy to connect and set up. Good value.

So far it has been a good buy and works well, i had a nas drive fail and had to use this as a backup

a lot of space to save anything, silence operation, fast with usb 3.0

Pros: NO ENCLOSURE-BASED ENCRYPTION, good drive for shucking, very good sequential throughput for 5400 RPM, visually appealing, absurdly good price per GB when on sale. CONS: Non-configurable power save mode in enclosure, drive takes forever to wake from power saving mode, can't run S.M.A.R.T. diags in enclosure because power save mode aborts the diagnostic test, enclosure is a real pain to shuck until you're on your 3rd/4th one and get the hang of it. OTHER COMMENTS: Works great in the enclosure OR shucked, so there's nothing at all to complain about. The /r/DataHoarder subreddit swears by these drives for building bigger storage computers than you'll ever see in your entire lifetime, and that's no accident. The lack of enclosure-based encryption is a huge plus; wish all WDs came like this!

Cheap storage. I end up pull drive put in my server cause cheaper to buy this then buy actually drive same gb. It WD red. Will have tape off pin on power supply as most pc for some reason won’t power cause way setup. There plenty how to on web
