Customer Ratings & Reviews

This storage is a great value, great size and provides the extra space I need for storage. I was looking for the Seagate and when I got to the store they only had WD. The salesperson assured me this product is comparable to Seagate. I left it with my computer and two smaller drives and they copied the data. When I brought it home I was very satisfied. I always appreciate good service and value.

Love this unit. Small, quiet and on sale. Bought a second one just for photos.

Extremely easy to use. Convenient, small and transportable.

Lots of storage and USB3 speed connectivity, bought 4 and they’ve been great.

Great external storage drive for large files. It can be connected to computer USB port, but it can be attached to a router/NAS/media server/file server USB port. still Quiet but runs hot, no problem reported from OS or disinfo so far. Drive has 256mb cache and.

Easy set up and installation. Provides the extra storage that I needed

Works for what I bought it for. Does have a slightly loud fan.

Lots of storage for great price. Easy to use in server or as standalone.

Incredibly easy to use. I don't use the WD software, I just drag and drop because I am very particular about file paths, but for the peace of mind having all of my files, computers, and images backed up, this is a great price. It feels more well built than the other portable drives you can get. Faster speeds thanks to being powered.

Well it's a big 8TB hard drive so it's got plenty of storage for backing up all your pictures and videos. Easy to install and use. Even my Dad could figure it out!

I cracked this guy open and took out the drive and put it in a Drobo (NAS). There is a Western Digital Red drive inside which are great for a NAS. The drive was much cheaper to get this way than it was to buy directly. I also used the enclosure with my sister's old hard drive to her old computer so she could pull off the files she cared about. Great drive, still going strong!

This is a must have for anyone running out of room on their xbox one. Very easy to setup. Turn on your xbox first and have it to main screen before you plug in your external drive because thats when you see the options of how you want to setup the drive. Catch it on sale if your able cause thats how I was able to get this great device. Major help with my growing collection of games.

nice one fast speed, I use it for my home storage.

THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE OPERATES EFFICIENTLY AND HAS THE NEEDED SPACE THAT I WANT.

Loads of space. Good price. Have used WD drives for years and have been reliable.

Easy to install, plug and play. Fast transfer. Quiet. Using with a PC.

Bought this HDD on sale, the price for 8TB at the time was a bargain. I have the 4TB version and it functions just the same. It does have some WD software to assist with backups but I simply handle my data manually. Writing to the HDD isn't too bad, I can usually get 80 MB/s on most transfers. Mine are used for archiving data, so I don't access them too often.

All you need for large volume of data. Easy to setup and use. Very well built

Got this on sale and the value for what I got is excellent. I was able to plug it in and start using it immediately. Don't bother with using any of the WD Smartware stuff that it comes with. You should be able to start dragging files back and forth right away. Using this on an old Windows 7 PC that was upgraded to Windows 10 last year.

Great product just not so much compatible with IMac. It does not know when to turn back on after the computer sleeps. I always have to disconnect and connect back.
