Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice hard drive with plenty of space. It is very quiet.

Works. I have 2 of them on my Mac. Partitioned to use as time machine and for regular drive files. I have not noticed any sound from it like others have said.

Best-buy is the place to go for all your electronic needs I love the reward points

Great Product Works as advertised Definitely recommend

The WD 8 TB external harddrive is great. I have a 6 TB and an 8 TB external harddrive, and I alternate between then when I back up a minimum of twice a week. Then I keep both of them in a safe in my kitchen. There are two kinds of people: those who backup regularly and those who wish they had backed up.

Large capacity, and was on sale - WIN!! So far so good.

Perfect for backing up our computers and music. Reasonable and quick delivery.

WD is a quality brand when it comes to data storage. I couldn't believe it was only $150 for 8TB of storage. I actually bought two of them. Being a professional photographer/videographer, it's important to have quality backup drives for your work. I've been using WD drives for over a decade now and I've been very happy with them.

I purchased for a sole time machine and LR catalog backup. It is very easy to partition into multiple drives and the transfer speed is better than a USB only external. The best part is that it contains a Western Digital Red HDD inside which cost more than this entire unit if purchased separately! Great for backups,gaming, and steaming.

I've been using WD hard drives for years. This hard drive had the white label drives and I shucked them to use in a 4 drive NAS. I also have two others still in the enclosures that I use for backing up the NAS system images. I'm waiting for these to go on sale again and use them for a DVR system I'm working on.

Huge space capacity. One thing though when you set it up you won’t get the full 8 terabytes you’ll get a bit less but not the full 8 just keep that in mind. Access is fast but not blazing fast. I use it to back up my pictures. Get it when it’s on sale. Thanks BB

Price per gb is great. I bought it to store movies and I have no complaints.

Hard products are different depending on the merchandise. It may be red or white, but it's a really good deal for the price.

easy to use, Very handy. works like charm. I like it

Was able to download all my games and play them on my PS5 very fast load time

Awesome. Easy to setup and use. Great value for the money

Just bought it because my computer hdd space is less. This external hdd helps me lot to carry my data to anywhere hasle free

Very nice unit. I'm not using it as a backup however, but instead for storing HD and 4K video which takes up an enormous amount of space on my other hard drives. Using this exclusively for my video frees up a lot of extra space on my smaller hard drives and computer hard drive. So far it works well and his fairly speedy.

Gave this to my son who does filming. He was really excited to have so much storage!

Big space for my files, pictures and videos, great price
