Customer Ratings & Reviews

These drives are finally getting large enough to do me for my data caches that must sync with Dropbox for Business. Greater hosting backup, and fast enough to work just fine.

My son plays a lot of video games online, which uses a lot of storage. This was reasonable and he is now able to keep all his games accessible for use.

I have bought 4 of these drives over the last two and a half years and, running almost continuously, performing as promised. Enough said.

This is such a well made external hard drive. The 8TB capacity leaves endless possibilities for the laptop. The price was so amazing for such a great product!

I have used WD drives for several years. I have purchased many of them over the last few years. This drive is a great value since the drive inside is a WD Red drive so this drive is built with reliability. WD Red has features such as NAS compatibility, increased reliability and more.

A pretty average and slow external backup drive. Windows had to install an updated driver for this. It works, but there are better options out there. I also wonder why some companies would have an external drive stand up, vice lay flat?

This drive is fast and quiet. One thought - it would benefit from multiple 3.0 USB, currently on one PC, but as an 8TB, should be able to connect to at least two PC's.

Excellent external hard drive for storage of various files. The USB 3.0 causes this to have fast read and write times.

I bought this hard drive for my son’s Xbox One. As soon as I plugged it in, the Xbox recognized it and formatted it immediately. We were using it in under five minutes.

Best price hands down. I ordered online once from another store and it was broken, nice to pick this up locally and know no parts are loose inside the box.

These drives are ~5400 RPM "white label" WD Red drives in a non-encrypting enclosure. They work great in the enclosure and they're awesome for "shucking" to use in a big fat RAID array. Be aware that the enclosure has a sleep timer that will put the drive to sleep after a certain amount of time; if you try to run a SMART long test it will abort once the enclosure sends the sleep command to the drive for you. The lack of encryption means that an enclosure board failure doesn't render all data on the drive unusable which is a major advantage of these over the WD My Book etc. series drives.

What else is there to say? These store data. I have a bunch of these easystore drives, and they've never failed on me. *Knock on wood*

I've had the drive for a year now and have had zero issues. Good read/write speeds and simple 'plug & play'. Will buy more when I need the additional storage.

What can I say, they are WD reds with a lower warranty. Pull them apart and throw them in a NAS. Price on sale is fantastic. Hopefully one day i can replace these with SSDs.

I needed to get an external hard drive because mine was giving out on me. I looked online at Bestbuy and picked this one up. So far so good, works great!

Very easy to use. Completely plug and play on my old laptop under Windows 10.

Not much to say except that it’s a ton of storage space for a small price. I run a small business that deals with large video files and this is a nice backup.

About half of these are WD red drives, and the other half are white label. Both perform well and have been running mine for over a year with no issues.

So once I learned from some searching that the WD red drives are installed in the mybook, and confirmed that fact with the some smartctl magic, i was a happy camper.

This was a fantastic deal, I bought this external hard drive for my Xbox One S, now I have plenty of room for downloads and games. Easy to set up and working well so far.
