Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is one of many great products from WD. Easy to use. No need for any apps to download(there optional). Just plug in and it good to use. However it is just a bit expensive.

The hard drive itself is good but just know that these higher storage drives are louder so you will hear it running. I tested this on a ps5 and can confirm that it does work. Overall it's good if you don't mind the drive being noisy.

I needed a large enough hard drive so as not to worry about storing millions of baby pics and videos. It was very easy and fast to back up my MacBook. Great stuff.

Easy set up. Enough space for gaming mods for now. I hope it lasts as well as other storage spaces I have purchased manufactured by this company.

Are you kidding me! I paid around $120 for an 8TB external hard drive!!! I’ve used smaller portable versions of this brand for 15 years with no issues. This was used to consolidate my mother’s CD collection. Easy to set up and use. If she can use it at over 70 years old, anyone can. Excellent bang for your buck.

I purchased this Black Friday deal for $130. I usually prefer Seagate due to problems I had years ago with Western Digital hard drives failing . I am only trying this one out because of the price. I will be using this with Xbox One S to store games. I wouldn’t pay regular price though. Still a devoted Seagate owner. I’ve never had any problems with Seagate harddrives! They last for years.

It works, but it’s very slow. I am using this to archive photo and video projects only.

I purchased this hard drive as a gift for my son to use as an external drive with his PS4. I have purchased other WD external drives and they have worked great.

Great storage and easy to use. Not super fast but great for just storing whats needed

Had this a while and it works great. Saved us from a crashing drive and holds a lot more. No hiccups with this device.

This hardrive Worked Well for what I needed it for.

This is my second WD 8TB drive. The last drive used the 2.0 and after upgrading my tower I wanted the speed of the 3.0 transfer rate. Just like the older model, this one is what I always expect from WD. Zooom.

Holds less and costs more but otherwise I’m satisfied

I have 3 of these. I use them for backing up important Windows 10 files as well as iPhone and iPad photos. One of them uses Memeo Backup Premium. The other two are for air gapped storage. They are only connected when I physically transfer files. The USB 3.0 drives are fairly fast.

[Employee of bestbuy] Great storage and fast speeds. I’ve never owned this brand before and setting up the program was a little annoying but easy overall.

WD easystore is doing as advertised making saving 8k photos and everything else easy. I bought a generic ext. HDD online and still cannot access the drive w/ valuable data on it for no reason other than it was a Monday I guess? I never save to the cloud because you never own your own stuff...they charge storage money don't they and if you do not pay they cut off access don't they? Rates will always go up, never down so...Maintain ownership via via HDD then in future when external SSD storage becomes affordable simply copy files over to the new.

Just Plug and play. Very easy install. Big space. Will hold tons of pictures.

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!

I needed this to store large files such as movies, I have more movies than I could ever find time to watch and still have Terrabytes to spare. I also back up my 1TB internal hard drive in case of a crash. I'm not a gamer but this would work for them as well.
