Customer Ratings & Reviews

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..

I have liked the backup software that is included with the Western Digital unit. (much better than the software included in the Seagate unit)

Great hard drive. Easy to use and setup. And was at a great price.

works great is fast plug and play. best buy is my favorite store.

Works great so far with either the USB hookup or even better after shucking the drive out of the enclosure. Will fit perfectly into a NAS or PC with a little elbow grease. Search for the DataHoarder sub on Reddit to find guides on how to make the best of your new drive!

Great in my blue iris and docker server. Priced right.

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.

It’s simple. It’s a hard drive and gets the jobs done. However, if you own a mac, have a usb adapter to accommodate your product.

I got a great deal on this hard drive. It hasn’t failed yet.

Smaller than expected. Nice size storage and easy to use.

Works well for Plex media storage on my Mac mini. Read and write speeds are excellent.

big space to store all your video and files, reliable red drive inside

WDs are always reliable and have different storage devices with them serving specific purposes! This one in particular serves my need as a universal backup for my desktop and my macbook. I've learned a lesson once losing all my data. So now, I backup my backup from the backup of the backup I had from my original backup of my data!! All on WD!!! Kudos!!!

8tb WD red hiding inside for $159, doesn't get much better than that.

This unit is easy to utilize and is very quiet. Works well

It is a awesome harddisk. And It is too cheap for everyone buying.

Easy plug and play. Now I have tons of extra storage.

It is the best for the money and you can put a password on it for security.

I use this External Drive as extra storage for my Xbox One Console. No issues with the Xbox One Console detecting and formatting the drive.

Bought this to use as extended storage for my PS4, and I love it. It has not failed and gives me the additional punch that I couldn’t get by replacing the hard drive in the PS. It appears to play well with the PS4, anytime the power is lost, the PS4 discovers the extended storage and “fixes” it with no issues whatsoever.
