Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Very reliable product for extra storage or running it on your server.

There hasn't been a single problem with it. I didn't use any preinstalled programs before reformatting it, but for anyone looking for something for their PS4, this works great. Though, since it uses its own cable, you won't be able to just simply get a longer one, so keep it close to the system.

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.

Nice drive and has always been reliable. Some of the models I've had click a bit but SMART / checks say they're fine. Other than some excess noise they've been perfect.

Quality I have come to expect from WD. Could not have been any easier to add storage to my desktop. Just plug it in and partition if desired.

8Tb is huge and usb 3.0 makes this a great addition to my XBox One!

The HDD contained (at least in my unit) was a WD Red which I have been using for years in other applications without issue. This backup has been on constant cycle for about six months now without any hiccups or issues. It runs as cool as I would have expected. I have no reservations about the drive or its reliability based on past performance of WD products.

Got room for everything now, this is easy to set up and very quier.

[Employee of bestbuy] 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

Easy to use and abundance of storage for videos, data and pictures

This is... I think, my 8th or 9th WD easystore drive. Of the 8TB variety, this is my 6th. These are great for back-ups and storage of large files. I shucked 4 of them and installed them into a NAS. They work great. Not a single hiccup.

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

Love this hard drive now I don't have to worry about space at all I'm using it as my backup drive for all my important things and I was able to free up two other hard drives I was using in the meantime great company great quality product.

This is a great product for the price. It works on PS4 and PS5. I would recommend to anyone looking to expand their storage for a decent price for really good product.

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.

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.

I had to do my research on this product and I was glad that I was able to purchase it. I was able to fit in all my pictures and documents. It was very easy to install as well. I do recommend it

My family often downloads so many new games the come out. We have multiple consoles but we also have Xbox Game Pass. This storage device is great. Would definitely recommend.

Have always found Western Digital eternal drives to be reliable.
