Customer Ratings & Reviews

bought this during the holiday season deal days to backup my office computer and couldn't be happier. easy set-up and fast transferring of data. should have bought two, lol

Well this is probably a great external hard drive, but it slows my computer down so bad, that I've started unplugging it so I can use my computer, it just won't do anything with it hooked up.-- My computer is a HP Envy, with Windows 10 and runs great without the hard drive hooked up

Works great with Xbox for all those Game Pass downloads! Wish the flashing light could be turned off even when not being accessed. A little distracting.

Everything works great, no issues so far. File transfers go smoothly and fairly quickly. I have only had it for a month. The true testament of any storage device is longevity and the ability to recover in the event of a problem, which I cannot attest to yet.

I've never had any bad luck with WD. On sale these 8TB drives are hard to beat in terms of price/performance/TB. I've schucked some (WD RED) and kept some as is.

This disk works quite well but the backup software that comes with it caused my virus scanner to complain. It appears to use some questionable applications that my virus scanner keeps deleting as risky. I ended up deleting the software and using Microsoft backup instead.

Getting write speeds at about 90MB/s with this HDD. Obviously not the fastest but not breaking the bank like an SSD of the same size would.

Quality. Did a lot of research and the drives inside are what companies use for raid systems. So I know I'm getting top-grade drives for my data.

Product just arrived, hoping the other reviews do it justice.

It delivers as advertised. It works with my USB C port on the Mac and the transfer rate is excellent. It beat out everything else on price and the performance is great.

ive always trusted this brand and none of them have let me down. i have WD drived that ive owned for about 10 years that still work great.

This is my third external he of this size from wd. It is fast and reliable with a lot of space. The only thing I don’t like about this drive is that it makes loud noise under heavy load. Other than that it will buy it again when I am running out of space.

Western Digital is a brand that I know is quality and storage is something I use lots of for photos, music, and documents.

Great drive. Good read speeds. I immediately shucked the cage and installed it in a 2 bay USB attachment. Worked great. And it's a WD Red Nas drive inside!

I’ve never had an issue with WD external drives. This provides plenty of space for backing up media files and the transfer rates are impressive at this price point.

Needed a large backup external drive. Works great. Using the built in backup software was a breeze. Have it backing up on a schedule for all my media and pictures.

Reliable Western Digital hard drive. Plenty of hard drive space for your computing needs. Came with WD utility software on the hard drive to test and backup your drive.

I use this to store important documents and photos. It replaced an old 500 gb external drive. The increased speed transfers with usb 3.0 is amazing.

Bought this as a gift and was happy when I got it on sale for 139. Always nice to have extra storage for all you digital content. Definitely worth it.

Purchased this when Best Buy was having their daily deals during Christmas. Got it for half price. Works great for adding additional memory to my desktop computer.
