This is the best deal in storage. It is simple to use and reliable.

Works great for my PS5, absolutely no issues whatsoever!

In case you don't know ...shucking is removing the internal hard drive from the enclosure. Strangely, companies charge significantly more for a bare internal drive than they do for these external ones. May be due to the fact that they can use any drive they want inside. Or that their warranties are typically not as long. Either way, after shucking this drive with my fingers crossed for the 8TB Red (NAS) drive as many have found in theirs, I encountered the white label drive instead. Based on the info on the label it appears to be an HGST 8TB Helium Data center drive at 7200rpm w/256MB of cache. So I figured I'd give it a shot since I've had great luck with the HGST 4TB drives in my home server. So far so good. I didn't need to tape off the 3.3v pin, and it's every bit as fast as the 4TB drives I have had running for years. I'll probably pick up another, but this at least got my raid array (10e) completed for the time being. Plus I got a nice external enclosure to use with another drive I had laying around!

Like the 10 TB easystore I bought during the crazy sale in Feb, this one shucked down to WD White drive (specifically, a WD80EMAZ). This one's going straight into my WD My Cloud ex2 Ultra, spanned alongside the 10 TB and backed up to a set of older MyBooks.

Great data storage and backup option for the price.

Works great. Quality server grade WD drive inside.

What a great addition to our computers. What to do with over 100,000 pictures that uses up our computer hard drive space. With this easy to use external drive, everything was transferred over for easy access. And yes, the computer runs a lot faster now with all of the pictures moved.

Great external hard drive with great transfer speeds.

this is my 3rd western digital I have no problem with it so far this is faster than Seagate

If you want a lot of storage for a good price, this is the HD for you. The simple design has stayed the same for many years now, but as a simple, single drive unit, nothing fancy is needed. There's a larger 10 TB version available too.

This Best Buy easystore 8tb is like fantastic corn. I really love the value for the money and it’s easy to go nuts for a drive like this! This is the type of product there are raids for on Black Friday. Buy three or more and you can have a party.

Holds a lot of games still have 3 terabytes left..

Bought to attach to my primary computer to serve as a way to off load important data no longer needed on internal drive. Plug and play, works seamlessly and quietly in the background. Very happy with dependability, etc.

Needed more storage space on my PS4.. this was a life saver, now I can install all my games!

I've bought a few of these drives to use for video servers and for data backup. No on/off button to hit, the drive comes on when computer is on. The drives are very quiet - you can hear a slight hum if you listen up close but they're a very quiet drive overall.

I purchased this as part of a deal and am using it as an external storage. So far performance is great though a bit noisy at times especially when it starts. Copied a ton of pictures from other drives and it was really quick. Planning to open it and use the drive inside in a NAS.

I LIKE IT DOES TO THINGS ITS GOOD ,GOOD ,GOOD,GOOD

Have been looking for additional storage for my Xbox 1 day 1. Have a 3tb already but no space, been looking for over a year for the right space and especially price...this nailed it...obviously I'll need more space unless the Xbox X comes with 12tb to start....excellent purchase

Super great at doing just what it says its gonna do

1. CrystalDiskMark to check status of the disk. 2. WD Data LifeGuard to do a full write (erase) to the disk. 3. Windows to do a full format 4. WD Data LifeGuard to do a long self test 5. Re-Verify data in Crystal Disk Info to make sure during all that nothing went bad.
