Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought in November of 2017 to hook up to my Netgear 7800 X4s router to function as a NAS. No hiccups, buffering, stuttering or anything. I copied in 1TB of data from another HD and no issues.

I was having trouble saving all my pictures and videos that I wanted to keep. This 8T External Hard Drive has accomplished all my expectations, is easy to use, and is exactly what I was looking for.

great so far. I have never had a WD product break on me and I have had a external hard rive from them for almost a decade now and it still works as good as the day i bought it and it has been everywhere with me.

I've used Samsung hard drives in the past and they ALWAYS fail before their MTBF. I did my homework and have switched to Western Digital for the last and this most recent hard drive purchase.

Reliable (so far), fast (all large capacity hard drives have decent sequential transfer speeds), quiet (can't hear it all from a couple feet away), shuckable (take out the drive and use it internally.

Got this to backup all my photos and videos. Works like a charm! The space is great for me right now. I'm sure I'll need to upgrade in a couple of years, but so far so good!

The internals were WD RED which is really great for the price. They do change what they use but once I confirmed it with the first two that I bought, I purchased a lot more and they were all RED.

Bought to upgrade the ps4 externally, now that it supports up to 8gb external storage (can play off it)... works like a charm.

Great HDD with great READ WRITE speed (about 200MB/s)

This hard drive teally helped my xbox one storage. It works great for extra storage. It is easy to move saved games to external hard drive too. If you get 8 tera you should be set with plenty of storage space.

Easy install no glitches , lots of inexpensive storage

I use this on my Xbox One S since I only purchased the 500 Gb version. This gives me way more space than the 1TB version and I didn't pay much more for the Xbox One S and the 8TB hard drive versus the 1TB version.

it’s got a lot of space to put lots of files. I mostly store music, videos and pics. I’ve used about 10% so far. I have 90% left, which should take me about 60 years to fill up.

My original drive had an issue so I had to have WD replace it, but the one they sent to replace it works great. I would be careful reformatting, as some file systems may work better than others, but it should support most. This was by far the best price I found on a high-capacity drive.

So far this has been a great drive. I have not had it that long just about a month and there has been no issues. The price per size ratio is pretty good. I would say it is worth a buy.

Looked to consolidate several external HD's into one and this is what I chose after research and reading reviews. Very satisfied with ease and quality. I have noticed no sounds or other issues with HD operation.

I buy these HDD's all the time when they go on sale. Excellent storage for value! They can also be easily shucked if that is what you are looking for.

This device is able to store of the required amount of data for Outlook back ups and other data files. The last version I purchase which was half the storage size was not able to store the required amount.

Easy to set up. My previous WD Hard Drive lasted nearly 20 years. I hope that I can get this many years out of the new one here. I highly recommend this product.

I have 2 other 4 TB easystore drives and was happy with them until I dropped one and damaged it. So this is a replacement. I figured more storage is better. So far so good on an iMac. Must reformat for Mac but it’s not too complicated a process. If you don’t want to reformat select the WD My Book.
