Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this hard drive to store data from my old laptop as the laptop was on its last leg. So simple to use as it is a plug and play external drive. I was done transferring a lot of data in less time than I anticipated! I have peace of mind knowing I have my important data in a safe place!

I am in love with this drive! Super reliable and the read and write speed are outstanding! Best bang for you buck!

so easy to transfer multiple old hard drives onto this one.

I snagged this on sale during Black Friday, and it's been great so far. I needed something to store backup copies of data on; because as they say, data you don't have backed up is data you don't care about losing!! We'll see how it holds out, but the drive inside is reportedly very highly rated!

Storage driveThe storage drive was well put together and the overall factor was done incredibly well. It didn’t what it was supposed to do as advertised. I will be using this storage drive for a long time.

As many others have said, inside the enclosure is an 8tb WD Red that is relatively easy to remove and is significantly cheaper than its retail price. The drive itself is a little louder than the WD blues that I have but it’s transfer speeds are better and these drives have a good reputation for reliability.

The hard drive worked perfectly, relatively quiet, and the correct drive.

I originally bought the WD - easystore 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive for fast access to my large data base of information and apps. At the same time, I was backing up everything online for disaster recovery. The online storage is excellent but after a couple of terabytes it begins to take days to transfer the data even with 100 MB+ Internet speed. So I as an experiment I backed up everything to my easystore and it took a about 1/2 day for the first backup but the following backups took only minutes. To solve the disaster recovery requirement I bought a second easystore and swap them every X days. I keep the off site easystore in a safe deposit box. I get fast, safe disaster recovery at a low cost.

Too sweet price hahah. Most of this product has WD RED HDD inside. But...some people said they found WD WHITE HDD

Seems very similar to my WD My Book I've had for years, but not quite. I tried to reformat it for Mac and I couldn't. There's no instructions in the box explaining that. I went to the website and did everything it told me to and it still didn't reformat. It ended up being a good thing since I've had to go back and forth recently between my Mac and PC laptop. I bought this as a backup drive since my other one is getting old and so far it's handling it's purpose.

Pro: An great amount of space to backup and store your files! Con: I don’t mind it having a separate power adapter for it to function, I just think the usb cable that is comes with is too short. Would have been great to have a longer cable to place it where I want.

Similar to all previous WD larger (physical size) external USB drives but with much larger capacity. I use it for GIANT backups of entire laptop system, including "offline" videos and photos that I don't want to take up space of laptop. I also use multiple PASSPORT drives for everyday backup with redundancy.

For the price it a good sneaker backup. I use two of them to create my own sneaker raid back up. But the warranty is only 1 year

I purchased this huge hard drive from Best Buy during the Black Friday sale. It was cheap considering the size. I could not resist buying it. I have not used it vet. want to be able to use it for both PC and Mac. I trust the "Western Digital" name..t should be a great drive for both machines.

Excellent brand memory at a good price, highly recommended.

Definitely a good product worth price and good connectivity

WD is my favorite brand of external HD. The quality of the product and tech support surpass seagate hands down.

I purchased the wd easystore external back up drive as gifts. I currently have 3 and purchase 2 for relatives before the price went back up. Best buy had the best price almost half off the original to let price. As expected the price went back up after 011518. Good thing I stopped by to check out the item.

Lasted almost 2 weeks. Started making a bunch of beeping noises, after a few days. Then it failed. I figured maybe it overheated, because I hooked it back up in an hour after cooling, then it died a couple days later completely. Great price, worthless product.

Purchase 4, after 2 months of use, so far it’s ok. Air filled, not helium.
