Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've owned a few of these and they've always been good drives. This one in particular includes a WD Red NAS drive which is better quality than the standard drive. Handles vibration and heat better.

The drive works fantastic and overall the performance is above what I expected. This is my last HDD overall for storage but im glad i picked this one up.

I buy these for my NAS at home. I shuck them (remove from casing and put in my PCs) and I've had good luck with them so far. I own 7 of them so far.

I've been using this hard drive with my PS4 for the past few months without issue. Very speedy. Games load without issue and haven't had a hiccup. I highly recommend this hard drive.

I bought this to store photos and videos and have had a great experience. No complaints, more then large enough for my needs!

Picked it up when it was on sale. Great price and it works as advertised. The backup program included free is pretty basic, but seems to be working well. I like it a lot!

This is a great external hard drive for everything you need to backup.I been using it to backup photos,music,movies important documents.I really is the best way to store your memory’s Nuff said

I love the amount of space this provides me. As a pro Photographer I back up all my work to external drives. With the 8TB device I will not have to worry about running out of space for awhile.

The WD EasyStore 8TB External Hard Drive is a simple-to-use, plug-and-play storage solution. Lots of space to save my photos and videos.

This external hard drive is what I needed it to be - big. I'm compiling all of my files from all of my other external hard drives, and this one is big enough to hold them all.

Bought this to backup our laptop. Easy to install and somewhat easy to set up. WD's program didn't want to work so I went thru windows to set up. Works good that way.

After losing a considerable amount of data a couple years back I have decided to have redundant backups this 8tb drive is great for my offline backup.

I picked up this 8TB external drive, on a "Deal of the Day". USB 3.0 speeds are around 190MB/s, read and write. So far, so good. I may shuck this later after the warranty runs out.

I picked this drive up when it was on sale a while back, and I think it was worth the money for the storage it provides. I only use it for media for my Plex server. Luckily it's not in a room that I go in very often, because the power plug has a noticable high-pitched while. That's the only reason I took one star away.

I picked this up on sale for $150 and love it! Every other year, I pick up a new hard drive to accommodate my photography library. I may be able to skip the next upgrade with all of this storage.

Great product when on sale. I got this bad boy for only $129. Don't overpay because they do go on sale from time to time. Black Friday is the best time to buy.

I purchased this drive as I needed a new backup drive. It's a fantastic piece of tech and internally it contains a WD Red drive which is designed for Nas usage. Red drives have a 100,000 hour MTBF rating, which these drives may possibly not reach, which may be the reason WD is selling them as external drives. However I'm using it as an external drive and it does everything I need with up to 150 MB/s transfer rates. Remember drives are marked with 1,000 GB per TB while Windows uses base 2 counting for space so it'll report 7.2 Gb approximately of storage. You are getting 8,000 Gb of space, just not a true 8TB of space. All HDD have this discrepancy between Windows and marketing shorthand.

Good for storing/backing up files. Super easy to use. There is an auto-backup scheduler which makes things more achievable. Definitely recommend for beginners.

Works perfectly, straight out of the box. Decent length of power and USB cords. This holds so much that I was able to transfer 4 other drives onto it and still have a bunch of room to grow. (windows)

I purchased this for use with my router for a NAT setup. Works well. Decent data transfer speeds. Doesn’t get too hot. Quiet enough for my use. Very satisfied with this purchase!
