Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 absolutely love these. Setup is a breeze, and these are the absolute best value in terms of $/TB. Have had several running under heavy usage for close to a year, no failures yet.

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.

I was looking for an external hard drive with adequate storage that had an LED that indicated when it was powered up and running. This fit the bill perfectly!

I wanted a hard drive to attach to my router so I could handle my own cloud storage. This has worked perfectly in that role.

Great product. Needed a great USB hard drive to store all our family files/ pictures, etc. It's well worth it for the cost I paid for it. Would definitely recommend it to anyone .

This fit all my needs. I have an extensive movie collection and was looking for a way to consolidate multiple small Hard drives into one. 8 terabytes will definitely do the trick for now :)

Its a large size which is a plus and comes with software that is useful. I would say definitely register it for warranty purposes but so fast it's been great backing up my things.

It is a great External Hard Drive, I pulled the trigger when I saw it was on sale 140. I transferred over 500GB of movies to it, and the transfer speed was better then i expected.

This is probably the current best value for an 8 TB drive in terms of quality vs cost. The only downside to these drives is the short 2 year warranty provided by Western Digital. It remains to be seen what the long term reliability will be.

I user this for video and photo files and it holds a lot of files. I was really surprise how much room I still had after loading it with a lot of video files.

This 8 TB external hard drive is fairly inexpensive, has a large amount of storage for the price and is available at a pretty low price . It got pretty good ratings too. It's a Best Buy!

Great back up, relatively fast. Using as media center.

And I thought my 1 TB was massive, but this is great! Only downside is that this one also has to be plugged into an electrical outlet for it to work as well as your USB port. Kinda a hassle

I took this out of the box, plugged the USB in and cord in the socket and it started right up, loaded software and I was immediately able to put files on it. No lag time in start up.

I got this for my Xbox one x. I had bought a 6tb version of the same thing 3 years ago for my older Xbox one - it still runs great so I had not doubt when I had to buy a new one.

I purchased five WD 8GB Externals. All five were WD Red 8GB HDs inside. I used CrystalDiskInfo to check before needing to open the case for checking the WD drives inside. All good. Great buys.

I got an amazing deal for a 8TB HD. Now I can consolidate all my drives into one. And have space to use as backup to my laptop. Hard drives have a limited life so this was a perfecf solution.

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.

Purchased for PS4 use. Has not disappointed. Shouldn't have to delete a game ever. Download my ps subscription games directly to it every month.
