Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is very easy to use, It also holds a lot of data.

Plugged it into my PS4 and now have a LOT of space. Worked great, really plug and play.

I totally uploaded every DVD I had onto this so now I can just have this plugged into the back of my TV and or Internet service provider and all of my DVD are accessible anytime I want.

Working great for backing up my movies on Plex 8TB on sale for $129 thank you Best Buy.

Excellent hard drive to store music and many other things. Great storage.

Excellent storage capacity at 8tb at an arrordabke price!

I have purchased several of these over the years for data archives. Several of the drives that were purchased from Best Buy are still in service. I have five of these drives. The only one of these drives that gave me any trouble was purchased online from another vendor...NOT from Best Buy. Some are at lease years old.

This item rocks! I use these for my media server for 5 years now just picked up another one while on sale and have no regrets. After setting it up it works as I expected. If you’re looking for an external HDD I recommend WD.

Easy to set up. Backed up lots of files quickly. Is fast enough to work with Lightroom and Photoshop. Doesn't take up too much room on my desktop. Great price for 8T of storage. Comes with WD software to run automatic backups. I recommend it!

These WD Easystore drives are great drives for storing media.. They're basically a Best Buy in-house labelled version of the WD Elements or WD My Book drives that are available through Amazon and other retailers. The drives inside the case are usually white-label WD Blues, Greens, or Reds, but your mileage may vary. Enjoy!

Very easy to set up and use. Great amount of storage for the money. You can't beat it.

Fast and easy setup with 8T of storage. Works well with my iMac. Great deal at Bestbuy

Great external hardware drive with a whopping 8tb of storage space. No failures for me.

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.

WD 8TB Hard Drive is very good. USB 3.0 is Fast speed. And 8TB heavy Storage. Good.

Great purchase for the price and need. A flash drive does not have the same capacity. Now I can store all of my Mp3,photos,software and other personal data. I can't wait to share my great purchase with all of my friends. Maybe they will want to purchase a hard drive of their own with the same capacity. Thank you verymuch.

Putchased this when it was a daily deal (and of course the store’s price wasn’t the same as the online price but this seems to be the norm at this particular store - just make sure YOU know the price so that you can request a price match). The only difference between this and the WD My Book 8TB from what I can tell is that this one doesn’t have hardware based encryption. Inside is a WD Red NAS drive which is a high quality drive and will take a beating since they are built to withstand 24x7 operation. If you’re able to get it when it’s a daily deal then jump on it...if you need it sooner and it’s cheaper than the WD My Book and you can forgo the hardware based encryption then this is the better drive. The My Books don’t typically have the WD Red drives. If you look at the price of a comparable bare bones WD Red you’ll usually find that you can get the same size cheaper by getting in the EasyStore.

Purchased 2 at a great price for a 3rd copy of critical data (high channel count audio recordings). They work great for their purpose. Did not want the backup software, nice that we had a choice not to use it. Exactly why we bought easystore version of the WD drives. Thanks WD for a quality, high volume external drive without the extra nuisance. IT liked it enough to purchase one for personal use.

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.

We always use Best Buy purchases to store data. 100
