This EHD has been my storage for videos during 2.5 years of daily use. I leave it safely protected on my desk, so cannot speak to travel durability, but it works reliably with my Apple laptop.

This drive seems to be really nice. I did have some issues getting the software setup and there might be a connectivity issue. It could just be related to my unit so I will probably try an exchange.

Great external hdd backup. It has enough space and more to backup all your family pictures. There is no built in software to backup seamlessly. I don't recommend leave the external hdd plugged in as it stress the hard drives.

Needing this for back up of my computers. This is my secondary back up and so far it has been working great!

SO FAR, SO GOOD. Perfect for backing up your favorite stuff.

Does what it was designed to do and hopefully last a longtime.I do like the fact that it has USB 3.1 built in so its faster than those older USB 2 models.

I learned long ago that larger and larger programs are created that take up hard drive space faster than you think. This hard drive should meet most of your needs for storage. Ideal size for storing all of your family photos in one spot to share for a lifetime.

Easy to install and connect. No issues purchasing from the store.

Solid external drive and decent backup software. Have tried both WD and Seagate external drives and both work well. Wish both were a bit easier to use, but neither has an advantage. USB 3.0 helps with data transfer and strongly suggest that feature.

I use this drive for backup and in music production. Works flawlessly and easily, especially with a good backup software. I use Acronis backup software, and between this drive and the software finally have a reliable, easy to use backup solution that I can configure as I want. No Time Machine!

Lots of storage. Very stable. I've had no problems with it, whatsoever!

This Hard Drive Is A Great Addition For Anyone Looking To Upgrade Their Storage For Their Video Game System!

WD Easystore 8TB provides plenty of space to store all data into a safe one bank. It takes only a few hours to back up all my data from two laptop without any problem or hitch. The software is very easy to follow and with one click the backup process commences automatically.

I use this for my xbox one x and it works great. only bad thing is there is no power switch to shut it off.

I record long videos and have plenty of music, so large amounts of storage is a necessity for me and this gets the job done!

Nice having a big easy to use external drive where I can copy over all my files. Not using the WD backup software and don't really plan to. Not a drive I keep connected all the time, just when copying my media and other files. Easy to plug and play movies through my TV too.

I was definitely running out of storage with my other external Hard drives and definitely my internal drive as well. This solved my problem having multiple storage locations for my iTunes library and now it's all in one place and more efficient! Boom.

These are rock solid drives. Case is sturdy, and very little noise/vibration from drive sitting on my desk

Good drive with decent speeds just make sure you understand you don’t actually get 8tb after formatting

Nice unit and I'd probably buy another one but much of the advertised memory capacity is taken up by overhead.
