    This was the first one I bought for my son. He already owned one. Bought another one in 2020. He shoots and edits a lot of video so needs a large amount of storage space. He's happy with the three that he owns.

    i bought this for my playstation 4, the lady that sold it told me said it probably would not work since it was made for a pc, I plugged it in, the playstation recognized it instantly formatted it and it works great. could not be happier.

    This is my 2nd easy store HD and the backup software doesn’t work automatically like my previous one. The setup is not plug & play like my previous one either.

    The drive has worked as well as other WD drives, which I believe are generally the best. The backup software today comes with it for Windows isn't that great. I use it but it is probably more trouble than it is worth. The external drive, 8TB, reliable, is good. I wish it came with better backup software since the main reason for me to have this is backups. But if you want to store media, photos, side, etc. It is great.

    Bought this to replacing an internal drive that was failing. Can be a pain to open the case, but once shucked easily goes into your pc

    This is a great drive with tons of room. It does a lot of extra stuff automatically but I just went into setup and turned everything off, all the automatic cloud back up or whatever it was doing. I just want to copy files to it. Super easy to do, don't hesitate, great Drive.

    8 Tb disk for a price that beats other disks, also the same dimensions as lower disks. Good value for money.

    I have several of these. They're reliable. This one is particularly high capacity. The only downsides are its physical size and the fact that it requires an external power source. I prefer drives that are USB powered. It works great though.

    So far I have been very happy with this hd. I ran some tests and found out I was lucky enough to get a thailand 8tb red hard drive with the larger cache size. I have been very happy with it's performance even running games on the drive.

    I am using the WD Easystore to consolidate multiple smaller hard drives. It is an excellent choice. The drive itself was easy to format for my Mac. It comes with improved WD software that allows for easy management of multiple drives. I liked it so well, I bought two. The second is for backup.

    Love how much I can put on this drive. Hopefully, it lasts longer than the warranty since I will be saving lots of videos on this drive. I switched to Western Digital from Seagate because Seagate 2TB died after less than 14 months and it was not under warranty anymore, so bye bye everything.

    Using attached to my router for storing videos and music for Plex and Kodi. Purchased on sale for $130. Good bargain at that price. I was reaching the limit of the 4TB version, This should give some breathing room. I've had it online for about a month with no problems.
