Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this drive on a good deal from Best buy. The cost per tb was the lowest when compared to any other drives available. Performs great as well.

Great external HD, fast and reliable. I will be buying another and set them up in a mirror raid for a secure back-up system for working with my photos.

It's a very large hard drive with USB 3.0 speeds. I use it to back up large files for temporary storage. (Temporary storage because I don't trust these types of storage that much. I'd rather be using an SSD but they are too expensive)

It works great for my 17" Dell laptop now I'm able to run all my software & storage for my music,pictures plus other items. Is very easy to set up & run

I purchased this western Digital 8tb external drive to replace my seagate drive that failed on me and its been working like a champ

I pull these out if their case for use in a Nas. Very easy to do without destroying the external case, should you want to out it back in later...

This is basically a plug in and drive unit. So easy and fast to set up. Began using it immediately to store anything. It is fast and easy to use.

The external hard drive with 8 TB is insane. I will not run out of space for the next 2 or 3 years. The software and write speeds are quite good for this, too.

Good looking 8TB external hard drive. For a large drive stores fast and can retrieve data fast.

Been using it for over a month now. So far no problems. Researched it and this hard drive came up with very favorable reliability scores from Backblaze.

I don't have the time or desire to "fool with" tech that is supposed to be making my life easier. This drive fit that need. Plugged it into my laptop and it worked. Best of all, months later it is still working.

WD - easystore® 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive are the best external back-up drives. 8TB is an immense amount of data that can be stored externally.

You really couldn't beat the value of the WD Easystore when it was purchased. It is fast enough for most applications if you can run it on USB 3.0 but you would see some lag for video or image processing or other power hungry apps.

Got this to download and store items off my laptop to keep from using up all my storage on the PC

Got this on sale and purchased it for my brother as a gift for his PS4. Now he has more space than he know what to do with! Lol

I bought the WD - Easystore to solve a storage problem I got myself into. It fulfilled all I needed and then some performing solidly.

I bought a handful of these for a NAS at different locations in December 2017 - January 2018. None of these were identified as Red drives as other reviewers suggested. However, they do run quiet and run fairly cool nonetheless. Buy when they are on sale.

So far so good. For the capacity you get for the cost, you can't beat it. Out of the box suitable for NAS use as the drive inside the enclosure is a WD Red.

This external drive is awesome. So much storage at an affordable price. These WD external drives are a good value if you catch them on a deal of the day.

Purchased this item for a back up of my other units....it is an 8 T unit....should hold most, if not all, of my backups. Comes with its own software as well.
