Customer Ratings & Reviews

While its size is impressive and it was on sale for a good price. I found that something is happening frequently when im using it for external storage on my ps4. It either freezes my game and i have to pull the plug or it says the data has been corrupted and would i like to repair the storage, saying yes gets me past it and it loads my games. So far i havent lost games or data but thus far it has not been a glitch free experience. I never experienced anything with anything failing to load before but since using it for storing games this happened at least four times over the first month its been in use. Maybe its not up to par for gaming. Just hoping it holds out...

This is the 3rd WD external drive I buy and as always, great reliability and no surprises. Very happy with my purchase.

I stripped these a few of these down and put the bare drives in a personal storage server. Have lasted me over a year with no issues so far.

Great value and has been extremely reliable to date. Best Buy was very competitively priced.

Good deal for such a drive for 149.99, but I cannot see if it's really a red drive without open it out. Ppl say some of them may come with white labels.

Unit worked as stated, added a second one of these... first one is going on 8 months with no issues; I expect the same with this.

Just the right size and super fast when downloading or writing. Fast transfer time when swapping information between drives.

This external hard drive is compatible with PS4 & works like a charm. Highly recommended to avoid any space/storage issues on PS4 & keep gaming!!!

I have a Mac laptop and plugged this in and it was telling me I had to all sorts of things I didn't understand to make it work. I tried doing them and my computer told me it was a bad idea. I ended up having a friend come over and he had to (I think?) reformat this Drive to make it compatible. After that, it worked great. But I wanted plug-and-play and it was not.

The drive is quiet and fast. After just a few month of use, my drive is already at 75% full. Given that the cloud options are trending pricy every day, I may need another or larger drive soon on this BF day.

The ones I bought were made in Thailand and had the 8TB Red series drives in them. One of the best drives series you can get. Very fast and reliable so far.

Definitely worth it to have lots of storage for the onslaught of videos and pictures. Very good TB storage per cost ratio.

I love the WD drives. I haven't had any loss data on one yet as oppose to Seagate

Purchased it for 189, opened it up to pull out the western digital red. Everything is working great and ended up getting a 300 dollar drive at a cheap price.

Bought two of these when they were on sale a few weeks back. Have been running 24/7 solid since then. No issues. Only time will tell how reliable they are.

Was looking for a new harddrive and came across this one The price was right and large enough space for all my data.

I’ve had other hard drives that don’t comPare to Western Digital products. Flexible, reliable and a great price! Thank you!

WD is always a go to for fast and reliable storage! I have never hadva failure. I recommend WD for all your storage needs.

Thought of it as a good deal but realized the product is heavy and not probable.

I shucked the drive and put it inside my computer. It holds all of my files. Replaced several drives that were failing. Very good and reliable so far.
