Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was looking for a network storage device, and was surprised at the sale price on this one. 8T for less than I'd previously paid for a 4T unit. The only thing lacking is pre-installed streaming software, which came with the last two storage devices I purchased.

USB 3.0 external hard drive - great for back up purposes, storage, etc. Quality drive on the inside should you want to "shuck" it for RAID/back up purposes.

External enclosure contains a WD Red 8TB NAS drive for a lower cost than the drive itself. If you can find it on sale it's even better. Awesome deal and a great drive. I've ordered 5 of these

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

I love the WD external drives. I've owned many external WD drives models over the years. They are very reliable. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Western Digital - these words have, over the years, brought me a sense of fast and reliable storage, They continue to do so with this speedy, trustworthy quality storage device.

These drives had fantastic reliability records. I connected them and checked did a WD scan before copying my data. The utilities WD provides are also handy. Very happy with the purchase.

Got this on Deal of the Day. External WD 8TB hard drive works flawlessly. I use it to backup all of my 4 TB WD Cloud data and still have tons of room to backup my home movie collection too.

Th e external hard drive was easy to set up. We bought it for expanding the memory on our PS4 and it works perfectly. It was definitely worth the buy!

This external hard drive has a huge storage capacity, it works fine. The only downside I could say of it is that its a little bit noisy but I guess its because is a larger 3.5 drive.

Excellent external drive for making backups of your data off your main computer. USB 3.1 would have been just a bit better but this one gets the job done just fine.

I have not had any issues with it so far. I have a mac and I would say to format the hard drive right off the bat and not try to download WD's stuff. I worked so much better that way.

Was able to take the drive out of the external enclosure and use it inside my tower as a backup drive. Great amount of space for the price. These drives also have some really great reviews.

This contains a WD red drive, perfect for constant use. It works great and doesn't have high temperatures.

This is actually the second one I’ve bought. The product works flawlessly, and has a ton of storage. I use them for my Xbox one’s. I plan on buying another for my PlayStation 4. This ones a no brained for the price. Make sure you get it when Best Buy has a sale! Usually 2 or 3 times a year.

I picked this up when it was on sale, and it’s been a great drive. I did shuck the drive and use it internally in my PC for more data storage and it’s a great drive.

This was a good deal as it has a great deal of storage. I expected it to be a little slow with a drive of this size so I use it for data and not live work. The only down side it is is a bit on the noisy side but once you learn to place it where it is behind other objects you don't even notice it.

I bought this drive to replace several smaller drives and lots of CD/DVD backup disks. I have transferred them all and still have lots of room. Seems well built and reliable.

Backing up data/pictures is very important if you have/use a computer, etc. One of these worked very well for another family member. Now I need to get one for myself.

This is my first review. I bought this external WD 8gb HD right before Xmas 2017 at a good price of close to $149, with $10 bonus store pickup. Lots of storage and good quality by WD.
