Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to store all my HD video contents as well as back up data files. The unit worked reasonably well. I don't have it powered on all the time so I'm not really stressing it. Setting up was quick and easy. Transfer speed was reasonably fast. I wish the unit was a little bit slimmer but I can understand the potential thermal issues that can be experienced (perhaps they can use some metal in the housing to conduct some heat away?). Overall, it's a good backup disk to have but the size is big.

great hard drive. plenty of capacity. plug and play.

Excellent storage capacity. Great price. Easy setup.

Very easy to use. And is super quiet. Looks good too.

It’s performed well, not too noisy or hot. It’s in constant operation backing up my NAS.

Easy to install, great price. Working as I expected.

Plug and play. Got it for a great deal and love it.

This was a great buy. The price was also something I couldn't pass up. Excellent for photos, music, documents and so much more. I don't have to ever worry about losing my data when its being backed up by such a great product.

The WD BLACK 8TB storage drive was s a bit hole lot of storage for a very low price. This is a no brainer.

I bought this external hard drive to back up my desktop and preserve thousands of photos. The device was super easy to set up and so far has performed flawlessly. It's also quiet when running. So far so great!

Great price, easy set up, great size, great price.

First drive showed errors in Crystal Disk Info, but Best Buy was happy to exchange! Second one is a winner and going strong for months now. Has a good Western Digital Red drive inside that I removed for a PC tower install. Couldn't be happier! Best Buy had the best price anywhere...living up to their name! Great product!

I bought this as a Christmas present for my son and can report hes using it with alot of space on his computer now so its a win!!!

My 4TB external USB drive is getting full. I have almost 10years worth of collected family photographs. Time to get a new one and start the 2018 photo folder. Great drive. It is a RED WD internal drive which means high quality drive, not your cheap ones. So quality is there and longevity and reliability is excellent.

Purchased about a year and a half ago with no issues so far. Thinking about buying a second one as a backup. So far so good, not much to say about mass storage except "it works" and "it's not painfully slow for an HDD".

This is a must buy if you're looking for a reliable and fast external USB 3.0 drive. The hard drive inside the enclosure is a WD 8TB Red NAS drive. Use it as is as an external drive or remove the hard drive and put in your NAS or in your PC. Make sure you wait for it to be on sale so you can get at a great price too.

Never go wrong with a WD product. This one was easy to set up for my MacBook Pro. The store shipped my order quickly so the transaction was as good as the WD Drive.

Very good for recording videos from security cameras

It was more than what I was needing at the time but it's always better to have more room than not enough for extra/back up storage space.

I have a couple of smaller 2T ext storage drives and needed more space. I got this monster for about the same price I paid for the smaller ones (each). Easy to set up, Easy to use. WD makes great drives!!
