Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second asystore drive. The first (purchased in 2019) has been fine, so I figured I'd stick with what works. Unfortunately this new one keeps setting off temperature alerts because it is IDLING at between 60-70°C at all times. At those temps it's a safe bet that this thing will fail very quickly, taking my data with it. I'll exchange it for another just in case I got a defective unit, but a quick google search (which I should have done first) revealed that Western Digital started using cheaper hardware for the EasyStore this year that runs way too hot. If the replacement is better I'll update this review, but otherwise you should avoid putting any important data on this drive

Model WD80EZAZ. P/N WDBAMA0080HBK. R/N E4C. Product of Thailand. Purchased in California

Good drives, I shucked them and use them in my NAS really good value for the product. Easy to shuck and use. Been running fine for close to a year now.

Bought few and will buy more for my QNAP and DRobo.

good price for 8 tb of space. Never had a WD drive fail.

Quick and easy way, no issues. Only con is no UAS support, but still fast as is.

went from 4tb to 8tb, will soon upgrade to 12tb. todays high megapixel dslrs create big files and quickly fill up storage. thise was very inexpensive and huge storage

This drives works great and lets me store proxy and raw 4K videos before editing. I use to store thousands of youth and HS sports photos each year.

Needed to backup and consolidate files from several external hard drives before upgrading my OS X on my iMac and this was Western Digital HD with 8T of storage is perfect. Set up is easy plug and play.

Works fine. A little wonky to get it formatted right to work with my Mac.

I have 5 of these and have not had one fail yet . They used to contain wd red drives now they all have a white label drive that are assumed to be the same reliability and speed as the reds.

Got these to build a storage array for my NAS. Internal drives were WD Red drives and got them much cheaper than buying the raw drives. Overall great value for ncie drives!

This is a great and fast backup for my computer. I take lots of pictures and the kids have a lot of music on our computer. This backup can store all our pics and music with tons of storage for regular backups.

Product easy to use. Meets needs and expectations x

8TB is handy to have. I use two of these drives to backup my NAS. They are reasonably fast on a USB3 connection. I have had the smaller versions of these in the past and have been happy with them as well.

It's like the TARDIS; Bigger on the inside. Put all the things on this drive, it'll store them. That's how these things work. This one works well.

Using it as a photo/ file backup Fast and quiet

Fast and reliable for such large amount of storage.

When you just do not have enough space on your hard drive, going to this 8 TB had drive is wonderful. I ported all my data, pictures and other items and still have several TB left. Works great and fast.

I have to have the external hard drive - not enough space on my computer.
