Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed an external storage solution to backup data that was to be deleted and this handled it painlessly and with room left over for future use cases.

Bought this to replace a 3tb WD that I have had for several years with no failure. Good product I would always recommend. Only complaint I have is that it's actually only 7,27 tb due to platforming . My understanding is that this can be rectified but I don't want to mess around in an area I don't know that much about. and BTW, that's not a WD thing ALL HARD DRIVES that I have bought come the same way.

Just wow ! It has 8 TB 3.0 USB THAT IS A LOT OF SPACE I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE NEED TO TRANFER FILES PHOTOS VIDEOS GAMES...etc

I have used WD hard drives for many years and they have never failed me. This drive is great to use to back up volumes of data, pictures, movies, etc. I bought 3 and use one for laptop back up, 1 each on Xbox X game systems. I have stored 6 TB of games on 1 and they run just as fast off the external drive as they do off internal drive. Superb value.

Works as expected. Connected it to my PC, and it was recognized immediately. Easy plug-and-play, drag-and-drop solution for extra/portable storage.

I use this easy store for all my thousands of photos and backups of my computer. It was semi-easy to install and set up for weekly back up and for transferring directly from my memory card to the easy store my photos' from each and every vacation we have taken. We keep two back ups of all our photos and this did the trick....

Great buy. 8TB is a huge amount of disk space. Very simple plug and play operation that comes with back-up software. You don't have to use the back-up software if just looking for additional storage capacity. Product is very small in size so it doesn't take up much space. Electric Cord is long so it can be placed away from the computer if needed.

Item works good I recommend this item to save as a backup

Purchased at a discount, I got this drive for about $20 per terrabyte. I am an older person, and I got into the personal computer revolution way back when it started. Does anybody remember the Epson QX-10? Anyway, 8 terrabyte drive for backups, this is an important addition to my computer system(s). Works flawlessly, quietly. My only complaint is an odd one about cosmetics. I wish they didn't encase the drive in a hard plastic that appears to attract every dust particle in the house. To get back to the "clean black look" I have to wipe it down every other day. Here in Bend, OR where summer wildfires have been nearby, whenever we opened with windows to let in some fresh, albeit smokey, air, all of a sudden I got a very dusty drive. That cant' be good for its innards over the long haul.

Lots of storage space and works great with my Xbox Series X. Only downside is newer games will not play from it unless they are moved to internal storage. Not a drive problem, but an Xbox problem. Still great storage for the price.

Works excellent right out of the box. Huge storage, nice price, lets hope it lasts years!

Fast external backup drive for several of my computers. Works well, as it should. It takes time to determine reliability, which is critical for backup storage.

Perfect for Backups. Fast, Durable, Afforable and Really Easy to Use and Reliable!

Lot’s of storage! Easy to use and fast. Portable storage for fun or office.

WD brand is an excellent brand.. low noise, excellent storage capacity.

After trying this one, never bought another brand for external storage, I own 7 of this different capacity. All of the keep working as first day. Thanks WD for your product and to the store for best service ever.

Great product. Easy to use. I hooked it up to a Linux box without any issues. You'd be crazy not to have your own backup right there on your desk.

Using as a time capsule for my Mac. Working flawlessly.

Have you ever had a Hard Drive you had everything on, when it just quit working? And you had no backup? How'd you feel? Well, this is my "Back-up" to my "Back-up" to my "Back-Up." I never want that to happen again. Research says WD is a good brand and the price was right.

Great product with a great price. I bought it to back up my Lightroom files and it has plenty of room to House my 10k plus photos.
