Customer Ratings & Reviews

I own a bunch of these, and they have been extremely reliable. I use them for Various things, Backup's and Storage, Extra storage for my PLEX Media Server and even Extra Storage for my Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.

Great quality drive. Passed all the tests I performed on it. Red drive inside.

This device loaded up with no set up and took all my games without hesitation.

Attached the drive via USB 3 to my video workstation to use an archive for finished video projects. Frees up space on my SSD internal drives. Could be faster for transferring, but I'm working with 20-100GB sets of files per project.

Because it is USB 3.0, it copies faster than I thought. Great size for backups.

I transferred all my files from my old external device to this device and the process was quick. This device can handle my thousands of raw files pictures. It also stores my back up files. No issues so far.

This review is as an external drive for my Xbox. I have used seagate drives in the past with no issues. Saw this drive on sale and picked it up for a little extra room. Did not want to stay connected to the Xbox. Swapped it with my old 4tb seagate drive and no issues. First wester digital drive and very disappointed.

This 8 TB is so easy to use. It shows up immediately on your computer. Very fast transfer as it's a USB 3.0. That's probably my favorite part, I had 6 TB with of stuff and it transferred fast. I didn't lose any files or had any problems.

Easy to set up and operate. WD software included. Just plug and play! Store all you photos and movies in one place. Also create a backup to keep all your important files safe from any disaster. A good investment.

After using this external hard disk for 2 years, I can tell you that everything works fine. In fact, I brought 2 more of the WD EasyStore external hard disk and still loving it. Reliable, fast and ... just work.

Competitively priced 8TB external drive when on sale. I tested it within the enclosure for a week to make sure it worked. Then shucked it and installed it in my NAS and has been running with no problems since. I mainly use it for MKV movie storage. I use a different PC for ripping my movies and then transfer them to this drive and I consistently get 160MBs transfer speed, I have a 10Gb network between the 2 PCs and the originating drive is SSD. I also have a Seagate 8TB in the NAS which was shucked from an external Seagate enclosure and it runs just a little slower. **Be aware of the 3.3 voltage pin (PWDIS) on this drive when it is shucked, it is a fairly easy fix if you have an older PC. https://www.google.com/search?q=sata+3.3+volt+pin&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 ,,, or just do a search for 3.3 volt SATA pin

I needed an external drive to store all my games and content for my Xbox One X. This does the job well and gives me a lot of space to grow into. I have a 4TB external HDD on another Xbox One S, and that one is getting low on available space.

These drives when on sale represent a great value and are high quality drives!

Great Device for you stationed needs. Archieves tons of things and room to spare. If you have this hooked up to your network, it can be a network storage device and data server.

This was no problem to hookup to my Mac. Just quickly reformat it using the Mac Disk Utility and it was ready to go. Very quick Time Machine backup using the USB 3 connection. This is probably bigger than I need, but it the price was too good to pass up.

This is the cheapest 8tb drive you can buy. Comes with a very good WD Red HDD

I haven't used this yet, but will be used as storage for all our pictures and videos to have them all in one place.

This is a great hard drive for the price and size. With the increase in digital picture quality, more room is needed to store those precious photos/videos and documents. Consider purchasing this hard drive for back up purposes.

Excellent drive for NAS or standalone external. Reliability record has been excellent

It was a very nice portable hard drive. I am very satisfied with the product
