Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought one of these for my son in 2019 and another one in 2020. He already had one so now he has three. He shoots and edits a lot of video so needs a large amount of storage space. He's happy with the three that he owns.

Reliable! I have used these for years with no issues at all. I can not say the same for other brands. Get one!!

For the money, it's a great investment in having a backup drive for all of one's files, especially being able to keep up a local backup of what one has floating around online (in case online services start dying off one by one).

Good value for the money and not putting my personal stuff out on the cloud for risk of being stolen.

Not much to say. Plenty of space and Usb3. Personally used for backup of a backup then stored offsite.

Drive worked as expected, transfer time great using the drive in its case. Removed the drive and installed in computer, works great as well. You cannot beat the drive, a Western Digital Red that is inside. Ended up purchasing three of these, price per GB compared to a bare drive makes it a easy purchase.

good product easy to set up. You are able to directly drop files manually with bo problem. i personal did not use the app for this. i primarily used it for games and my game recodings

this is a small footprint , large capacity unit. I have not got any feedback yet on it's operation and efficiency.

I love this hard drive. As a videographer it's perfect for storing old footage, but I wouldn't recommend editing off of it!

WD is awesome, I have several WD external drives and this one 8TB drive is now my secondary backup for my other WD drives. Why secondary, drives fail, cryptovirus (hopefully never), one drive to grab and/or have in my "In case of emergency quick grab bag", you know Hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, etc. This is one drive that I trust, one drive maker that I trust and Western Digital is the one brand that I trust. Not to mention that it's super easy to use, plug it in and in a few seconds your ready to use it. Catch it on sale and it's a great buy! Keep safe!

Once again I had to get another external hard drive in order to back up all my files. I don't store anything on my computer's drive and usually make sure that I have at least two (2) copies of everything. I have used Western Digital drives for many years and never had a problem with them. Great product!

I've always had good experiences with WD external hard drives and I expect this one not to be the exception. I plan on using this for my security cameras when I install the system. I will update my review after the system is installed.

Well worth the money to have all my archived files in one place instead of looking in multiple drives. Now I can use my other drives for new projects. This was easy to setup and then transfer files without any problems!!!

Great item and vakue. I feel always very good when this tyoe is purchased

I purchased 2 of these for my unRaid server when they were on sale. I voided the warranty by shucking these and knew what I was getting into. unRaid rebuilds parity with these at 155 MB/s and takes about 14 hours.

Very happy with this item that we purchased we needed additional storage. It’s very useful to have.

Plugged it in to AC power and the USB port on my MacBook Air (with USB-C to USB-A adapter) and it fired right up. No complaints at all about the drive. I am hoping to get several years of service from this drive.

My SSD hard drive had a scare that it might be failing and that's a horrible feeling. Luckily I went onto the best buy website and ordered for in-store pick up. I got the last one in stock. It was a great steal and it was on sale. I did quick research right before buying and it happened to be on sale, i needed something in store right away, luckily i chose to buy and pick up. When i went into the store, the guy had no idea what he was talking to, he tried to get me to buy the other WD 8TB hard drive that was almost $100 more. I brought it home and it was a plug and play, I backed up my hard drive over night with ease. And it was also a WD RED which was even a better score!!!

A very nice drive. Not to big in physical size and great storage capacity.

I wanted to add a storage drive I wouldnt have to replace in a year or so, so I did my research and chose the 8TB WD easystore. Everything has worked great with the hd, my only complaint is that it was not as simple as plug and play. Once I got everything updated, it has worked without any issues.
