Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had 2, returned them because they both ran VERY hot right out of the box, 57 after 2 hours. Crystal Disk Found that the type is WD80edaz, which is important, because no one knows if it is a CMR or SMR drive?? The real question is what type of drive is this, why the overheating and why did they change??

I mainly use it to store my games. Isn’t as fast as a ssd but it helps with keeping all my games together without having to delete and install games every time I wanna play something different.

We had a great experience with our purchase. The cashier went out of her way to try and get a discount from your Price Match policy, but it didn't work out. But, the product is great, and the cashier and sales associates were great.

Easy to use and lots of storage. It is an easy to to add more storage.

I have always bought western digital external hard drives. They have always worked great and are extremely reliable. I once bought a Seagate and failed within a month. This 8 terabyte version was on sale. Excellent value!

Great product, I would buy it again because it provides a great backup.

I bought this to increase the storage on my PS4 and couldn't be happier. It runs very quiet, and my PS4 detected it as soon as I plugged it in. Formatted with no issue and have been running all my games off of it. It is highly recommended!

So glad this has a USB 3 Port. Plus the price I got it for was a steal.

I always buy Western Digital and have never had any problems with them.

I've got several of these WD external drives (for many years now) and I've never been less than completely satisfied with speed, reliability, etc. Certainly would not hesitate to buy more of these drives, as needed. They just work! :-)

The 8 TB capacity and price we have paid is great and it runs great as well.

Got this 8TB USB 3.0 drive to replace my 4 TB USB 2.0 as it was slowing down my new Dell XPS 8930 desk top. It has done and excellent job in doing that and continues to work well. Backups ae so fast I do them much more often.

An easy, safe purchase at the pick up site. Not my first experience both five stars. This is the second time I have purchased this drive I have never had an issue and both drives function flawlessly.

I was very skeptical, I wasn't sure this would actually work and last as my other WD quit after a year and I lost too many of my photos. This one appears to be a work horse. 8TB is sure nice to have for a photographer like me.

I have another one of these for my office and bought this for my home.

As a photographer, I believe in backups. I've got tons of images and other important files, and having multiple copies is important to me. This external USB 3.0 drive is quick, and has enough storage space for everything you want to back up.

Good for those who wants to use it at home and donot have to carry it.

Haven't used WD products in some time - this unit worked right out of the box and over a month later is still functioning as it should. I purchased this on sale and it was a very good bargain. Works great with my Windows 10 machine

I have a bunch of these drives. I use them as mobile resources, back-ups, and gifts. I back up my entire laptop data in the 8T storage capacity. They hold lots of movies. I highly recommend going for the big one. You can always grow into it.

This is an awesome addition to our gaming equipment. There are several teenagers using our various game systems so this device allows them to save their games without having delete anything from the current game systems. We love it.
