Customer Ratings & Reviews

Plugged it into my PS4 and now have a LOT of space. Worked great, really plug and play.

1 month of use, still reliable. __________________

These WD 8TB drives are great. You can use them as is with USB support. You can also easily remove the drive from the enclosure and place into a home NAS device. (Although it voids the warranty) - much cheaper than buying an 8TB bare. WD is a solid brand.

Looked at several different hard drives and sites before going with this one at Best Buy

This external drive is a good GB to retail price purchase. Overall, it works great. The only con it has is that it gets hot. I had to cool it down by placing a laptop cooling fan under it. Other than this, it has no other drawbacks to it. If I ever have a need for more space, I would purchase another WD Easystore external drive again.

Got at good price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!°°°°°°°°°°°!!!!!!

Large size, can save tons of files and have been reliable so far.

This is truly a great hard drive from Westgate. I currently have three of them. I’ve got the 1st one now over a year and half. It’s been running I’d say every single day since I got it and it works perfectly

I am in IT, and I have always told people to have backups. This is a great, reliable drive to keep backups. Inside are Western Digital Red/White drives which are known for reliability. I am able to make consistent backups with this drive.

At 8 TB there is plenty of room here to back up photos, movies, music, and any other files deemed important. Can be used on Windows, Mac, or Linux systems. Easy to shuck too if you want an affordable 8 TB drive for a NAS.

It is very small and compact. Although it is USB 3.0 my machine takes longer to fetch data from this drive than it does my 12 year old Iomega 1TB external drive. This is the first 8TB drive I have ever owned our used so I do not have anything to compare it to. I suspect all extra large drives move quite a bit more slowly in Window File Explorer.

I kept researching this drive but never pulled the trigger on buying it until it went on sale. Keep an eye out, because this drive goes on sale quite often and 8tb for under $150 in a USB 3 enclosure is a great deal for your storage needs.

I had to buy a larger hard drive to consolidate my family photos that where spread over multiple hard drives. The sale price on the drive was perfect timing. I have had very good experience with western digital hard drives.

you can use this for xbox one or ps4 great drive just wish it was ubs power go cowboys

This is what I was looking for. The memory size for the best deal and not over paying.

I finally broke down and bought an external drive. This drive is quiet and looks good in my desk. It's a little overpriced, but if you can find it on sale, then it's worth buying. At 8tb, this drive holds almost every 1 and 0 that I downloaded the last 8 months via Comcast (they only allow for 1TB). So this 8tb drive is bigger than Comcast!

Very quiet external hard drive and seems to run quite cool despite the enclosure not having an internal fan. Since it is a Western Digital product, the WD freeware version of TruImage software works with it!

Only one I use. Don't go cheaper on the other version. There's a reason why it's lower.

I have order 20 of these over the last year or so and I have yet to have one go bad. Each has been run through 2x preclear cycles (a process where the drive is checked for errors and each sector is written to and read from) and have had no issues. Great product.

I was looking for a way to consolidate data and photos from six desktoops, three tablets and a chromebook. The WD easystore with 8 GB was the most efficient and inexpensive solution I could find. It is easy to move between devices and BestBuy had the best price.
