Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed a much larger drive for my movie server. This was an awesome price.

Very easy to install/get set up for massive storage availability... perfect!

Really great way to add capacity without having to deal with opening the computer. Works great and having actual power adapter means you aren't working your power supply to death.

Very clean Very quiet Appropriate speed Easy interface affordable price

I like it a lot.and quick too.The easy store 8TB External USB 3.0 Is the best

I have bought a number of these and none of them have failed. The key to have reliability is to buy not all at once but at different times and from different retailers. This way you are less likely to get a bunch of faulty doa ones or worse ones that die immediately after the warranty is up.

What can I say, its an external hard drive and it does what its supposed to do. Speeds are decent as far as an HDD goes. Caught this on sale, it was a good buy. So far so good, I'm happy with this one.

Have had these for years and they are still working like day one. This product is amazing for long term storage of media files or precious family memories

Was able to get this up and running easily with the included quick-start. I'm using it to backup the laptop required for all engineering freshmen at Virginia Tech - if I lost my data or work, i do have an overnight service plan, but it wouldn't restore my data. Every Wednesday night it backs up my hard drive, and now my room-mate is using it as well - there's plenty of space!

Not much to say, it's a wd drive so its usually reliable. One of the main reasons to be buying this drive should be for archival purposes, don't be expecting ssd speeds here. I should elaborate, it's not a slow drive. Speed should be fine for most people's uses.

Using this as a backup drive for video footage. Not editing off of it but so far it's done the job.

Plenty of space and for a good price ( door buster deal ) can't beat that

It was more than what I was needing at the time but it's always better to have more room than not enough for extra/back up storage space.

work fine. when i format for ps4 external storage, my computer doesnt recognize it when plug back into computer. but with a quick search online, i found out how to fix it with a little extra fiddling around. this is gonna last 20 years worth of storage, so i am happy.

This product is easy to set up and use. Everything functions as it should. Very fast when using USB 3.0.

Great device and lots of storage. Very reliable drive in this package.

I needed this drive for a project (a large scale database) where the drive would take quite a thrashing, continually being read and written to over the course of several days. Not only was the price right, but I normally use enterprise grade drives and I have to say, I was surprised at how well this drive managed. It managed not to get hot at all, despite the load I as subjecting it to. I've had other drives that got so hot, that they would actually burn to the touch! If your intent is to use this for the home to store movies, perform backups, or what ever occasional needs large storage needs you might have, you really can't go wrong with this drive. If you need something for work that will see moderate to heavy use, you should consider this drive as I can assure you very few applications will subject it to the load I put mine through.

Tons of storage packed in a little package. I love the design and it sits perfectly on my desk. I use these external Hard Drives for game systems and Computer systems with ease. Some systems may take a bit of formatting. Not noisy like some other external HDDs

Performs well as a backup drive. Easy to setup and easy to move to other servers as required.

I bought this drive when it came on sale giving it a low price per storage unit. I used it to create a private cloud and it works just fine for that purpose where a large capacity but not high speed is required. I am not implying here that the drive is slow, just that there are faster drives out there but their speed would not make a difference in my application.
