Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought 6 recently. 4 were the WD rebranded reds. The other 2 are enterprise grade drives that get hotter than the other 4. Otherwise, great drives.

Was able to shuck and put in my NAS. No complaints here.

It’s working like a charm and I can retrieve my video from the hard drive with ease from my VMS. Thanks!!

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.

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

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.

Easy to set up and great value for money. Another solid product from WD.

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.

This is a great drive for storing media. Transfer rate is solid and have not had one fail. Great product!

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.

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.

Decent storage, great price during sales however 2021 has had quite a strong price increase

Have several of these for 2 years and they've all been working great so far. Make sure to back-up your data on at *least* 2 other drives!! Watch out for them to go on sale, which seems to be at least once every couple months.

My last couple of hard drives have been from Seagate because WD has let me down before but the price was too good to pass up. This product was extremely easy to use and faster than expected.

Tons of backup space for photos and music and whatever. Plus, and more importantly, it's fast. I've run it as a network drive and as a USB drive directly attached to a PC. In both configurations, I get good read and write speeds. 8 TB is a lot of space. Can't beat it for speed and storage.

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.

Great external drives, fast, quiet, low power usage.

Just needed to upgrade my memory from 4TB. WD has always been a good product and this is no different.

Bought a bunch of these drives for a really good price. Was able to pull from the enclosure and put them in a NAS enclosure. They were ALL Western Digital Red Drives 5400RPM with 256MB Cache.
