Customer Ratings & Reviews

Simple and easy. Only issue for me was the price..

I bought this WD Easystore External Hardrive to move data off of my laptop and desktop. It is easy to use and is well built. Just plug it in and drag and drop your files!

Excellent product working perfect so fast a little bit noisy but everything fine

Works as expected. As usual, only has about 7.2 TB available. Does not have too much preloaded software. I only use directly, and do not use the preloaded software, so cannot comment on how that works.

What a great deal this was for 8 TB! I should have bought 2 of these . Now I have more than enough disk space for storage and my desktop runs much faster. Easy setup ...plug and play. I highly be recommend it.

Very quick and quiet. Download rate much faster that the previous Seagate I had.

good quality drive, simple setup. included software was junk but easy to remove.

Very good product. With USB 3.0 the write speed is adequate for an external drive. My only issue and reason for not giving 5 stars is that no matter what I do, no matter what settings I change, the drive is constantly going to sleep. It seems to be more related to Windows 10 than to the drive, as it doesn't do this with my Linux machine.

Not bad. I have all my pictures on it. Something it takes a while to refresh & slows down. But it does what I need.

I am using this as just a backup of my data and it does what I wanted it for. I can store all of my data and still have plenty of room. When I was transferring data to the storage, I was getting around 30 to 50MB so it wasn't that fast, but good enough.

Was starting to get my 4tb full, this is a great upgrade since it took a couple of years to fill the 4tb version of this hard drive, so it will probably take a couple more years to fill this one, by then the next version or 2 will be out to reupgrade.

Initially purchased this harddrive for my television so that I can watch downloaded movie. However the television does not support the size so now ots used for external harddrive to back up my computer. Love it.

This is a good solution for backing up a computer or adding on for HTPC. Easy plug and play with lots of head room for a small library. Schedule automatic backup for important data.

My husband needed this to expand the space on his ps4 and it works like a charm

The Western Digital EasyStore 8TB external drive is a great external drive. Inside is a Western Digital Red 8TB drive. If you are looking for an extremely FAST drive, this may not be the best choice, as it is a 5200 RPM drive. However, At this price it is a great TB/dollar deal and the enclosure is solid. There is no fan to cool the drive, but as it is a Red drive and 5200RPM it does not get that hot.

These are great for my server and they seem for work without any issues. Inside they are all WD-white drives but they used to be WD-red. Other than the red/white label the only difference I can tell is the white drives have a bigger cache.

When it comes to reliable and long-lasting storage, you can count on WD. I don't work for them, but have always used drives from WD - for reliability they are king. My data is too valuable to trust some of the other brands on the market.

These are excellent hard drives, using nas grade hard drives within the enclosures, I have purchased 11 of these over the last couple of years, and every single one of them is rock solid, 100% health with zero bad clusters visible to SMART

After 2 years of intermittent use (used mostly as a backup device for main system drives), no problems to report. Device worked nicely out of the box and continues to work flawlessly and as expected.

These are great drives especially when you can catch them on sale for $149. Certain ones come with WD red NAS drives inside that cost more without the enclosure. You’ll need to google it to find the info. Overall it should be a large dependable drive.
