Customer Ratings & Reviews

This device is great! I use it to store multiple mp4 movie files. I never run out of space. I really like the product.

Very happy with the purchase. Fits more PS4 games than I could ever possibly have time to play. Works great, never had any issues.

I bought this for backing-up audio record files. So far, WD 8TB HDD has shown the reliable performance and stability. I would recommend this for backup storage.

these were a great addition to my hard drive collection I seem to have going since we keep filling them up .... have had no issues with this easy to setup

I bought this drive on sale for $130 with every intention to take it apart and use it as an internal drive. To my surprise it will not so much as spin when plugged in as an internal drive. Not recognized in bios at all. I’ve taken my toile external hard drives apart in particular the 4tb WD My Book. I’ve taken 3-4 of them apart and they work just fine. The main reason for doing so is because generally those boxes have WD reds in them so if I catch one on sale I can get a normally $150-160 hard drive for $100. Just overall disappointed that this didn’t work.

Works great for my back up of images and files. I have a couple others I back up to as well.

Needed additional storage on my Xbox, was able to copy content from one console to the new one. It's working great and tons of room for new content.

Quick and easy set up. Reliable and quiet. Best part is drive goes to sleep with a slow blinking light to let you know it is in sleep mode

These come with WD Red drives inside, when they are on sale they are an incredible deal, either for USB storage or cracking 'em and using them for your NAS storage needs.

Great unit for backing up all my files!! I have tons of audio and quite a lot of video footage from my phone, Sony 60gb Handycam and my action cam!

I had to perform a secondary backup for the primary. So it is a backup for a backup. This external performed the backup exceptionally and I just had to buy another.

I love the WD hard drives, they are so easy to just plug in, move your stuff over and simply store it. Plus BB had a sale so it was worth it at under 200

Oddly i have never had an issue with these hard drives even with moving parts on the inside . This is my 3rd and all three have worked fine for years.

I bought a few of these a few years ago, they are all still performing well. In that same time I had a few seagate go bad, so I'm sticking with WD.

I have bought several of these drives, then carefully extracted the internal 8TB (WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0 ) drive for use in my Synology DS918+ NAS. Works great.

Customer support, which you WILL NEED, from WD is simply awful. It's a labyrinth of requests for documentation. Case files are assigned to new people/bots with every exchange. On the item side: the drive randomly fails. Specifically: without warning it will "decide" that it is read-only. You will loose work. You will have corrupted files. Re-mounting, unplugging, rebooting - if you like all of that, then by all means, this noisy turtle of an external drive is for you. If you want stability and reliability: go elsewhere.

These drives are very fast--I'm getting about 150MBPS in transfers between 2 of them. They're also WD Red drives, so they should be quite reliable in most situations. :)

So far so good. Using it as a backup drive for my desktop PC. Couldn’t beat the sale price.

Purchased this product because of the amount of TB. I am not disappointed, and I can keep as much files and documents on this product and frees up space on my laptop

this hands down best deal on this model external HD; Nearest retail in town charge $20 more
