Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

Big enough to back up my NAS and easy enough to setup that I didn’t have to think about it!

I have used WB Easystore external HDs as backups for about 6 or 7 years now - and I've never had one fail yet. I also use the drives to work off from making video content, with hundreds of gigs of info going back and forth, with no problems whatsoever. A highly recommended workhorse of a drive.

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

Easy to connect and transfer data. Best value for 8TB of storage.

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

Installed easily. Seems to work as expected, still pretty new to it.

Fast, affordable and lots of memory. Works perfectly for my media files.

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.

I have used the EasyStore external HD for two years now and it has been very useful to have instant access to backed up files. It turns on and off and disconnects easily which helps prevent data loss which I have had happen with smaller external drives. I recommend it highly.

Purchased the product when it went on sale. Definitely worth a buy for backups and saving files away from your computer. It comes formatted for Windows, but requires reformatting for MAC OS use. It went on sale for $129.99 the week before Black Friday, but I was unable to get it since it sold out. Luckily, it went on sale during the winter break sale for $139.99 and purchased right away. It comes with some Western Digital software in the hard drive. If you use hard drive software such as Crystal Disk Info, you can find the serial number and search the type of drive. It is true that these drives are red WD NAS drives. For the price it is worth it since the bare desktop drives cost more. I may consider purchasing another one when it goes on sale again since it is a large amount of space. It uses USB 3.0 and an AC adapter. It has vents on the top, bottom, and back for releasing heat. The only main issue with this external drive is the dissipation of heat. There isn't a fan, therefore, the drive can get pretty hot after long use. Just use hard drive software to monitor the heat. Also when laying down the hard drive, make sure the usb and power connections are in the direction away or top side (left) away from the surface it is laying on since the hard drive sits close to one side of the case and kind of hangs since one side of the drive seems to be only secured, which is the connection side.

Picked up the drive on a black friday sale price of $150 and was pleasantly surprised to find a Red NAS drive inside (typically costs around $250). Added it to my storage array and is humming along happily.

I bought this 8tb WD external hard drive and couldn't be happier. I already own the 3tb and 4 tb. The set up is seamless with great reliability and is perfect if you need more memory as I buy games digitally.

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.

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

Bought this because of what drives are inside and that they cost less than just buying the bare drive. Have been using it as is connected to my router to store videos and pictures and has worked perfectly!

It's a Western Digital device... what else can I say? I have WD external hard drives that date back before the turn of the century that still work today. I have never owned any WD hard drive that caused me any heartache OR made me wish I never bought it in the first place. I have never had to return a WD hard drive for any reason. * * * I might have been lucky so far, and probably jinxing myself with this review, but I completely trust WD to sell me a quality device that fits its advertising and that will serve me well for years. * * * Your mileage may vary...

I bought this because I don't have enough space on my computer for all my photos and scrapbooking supplies. It was easy to install and works great!

Great price for an 8TB drive. I use it solely for backup purposes and it is not actively plugged into anything. Regardless It is sturdy and easy to use.
