Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

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.

Works well. Recommend purchasing it on Linux system

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

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.

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.

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.

I was actually looking for an internal hard drive when I stumbled on this. I did research and found that I was able to shuck it (open the plastic shell) and get a brand new 8tb hard drive. I believe I purchased this item for $150 and it is one of the best storage per dollar I have invested.

Really great deal for 8 tb. I paid $139 for this. I was a bit bummed because not even 24 hours before i purchased this, i saw a notification that there was a 10 tb for $179 with a thumb drive. When i got to the store, there was no such thing. Either way i'm still ok with this.

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.

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

... at a very reasonable price. Does not have the security features the other two WD external drive series have, but that was not a critical factor for me. I’m very pleased with the drive.

Great amount of storage for the price. I use it as a back up drive and have not had any issues

Got it when it went on sale. It's a keeper. Hopefully by the time I run out of space again a 16TB will be out and at the same price as this one

This is my 2nd purchase and so far I'm loving it , the speeds are accurate, the design could of been better, it's not loud , this is my 37th hard drive so I'm pretty addictive to storage.

Bought this HD on sale for $160 to store movies for a media server. Confirmed a WD80EFAX in a Made In Thailand unit, 7SGX9***. For those that don't know, that is a WD Red 8TB that usually runs for $260 put in an external HD package. Bought this unit off the shelf 02/18/2018. Great buy.

got this on black friday for 129.99.....best deal around by far. and WD is always my brand of choice

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

I got mine for 150, got one for all my devices so you could say I recommend them. But I will point out that I am unsure if they stand the test of time as it is new and storage wears out over time but how much time does remain to be seen. But overall for the price I couldn't pass this up.
