Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great drive nice and quiet. Plug and play. USB 3.0 so very fast transfers.

Works great as a NAS drive attached to my nighthawk router. IT's reasonably quiet, not bright, and the network storage means I can access whatever I put on it, pretty much anywhere in the house (or with some VPN foolery, anywhere in the world.)

Good quality excellent price work flawlessly not issue less then 90 I pay

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.

Up & running in less than 5 minutes. A ton of storage space at a great price.

Great price. Need to transfer Photos as my computer is old. Great Sale for 8TD

Stores all my music. Works great and I have more room now

Fast, high capacity, Reliability The best external hard drive. I have no regrets.

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

It has a large capacity for the price and very stable performance.

I had three external hard drives. The first two were either very difficult to use or would not work at all. This one however, is neither of those things. I simply followed the directions that came with the drive and, it was up and running. I used Microsoft file history to create the back up and it started working immediately. Great product.

Works as expected. Using in a NAS (just an old laptop running OMV). Maxes out a gigabit connection. Had to format to exFAT

Great drive, especially when on sale. Used WD Drive Utilities to test the drives and had no problems. Good speed.

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

For an 8 TB is fast...once it gets running. Don't expect instant gratification it won't happen.

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

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.

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.

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.
