Customer Ratings & Reviews

Reliable product. Curbside was a win. Easy to install. Great capacity. Amazing value

So far so good! Been 3 months, no issues storing large video files.

Works great so far and is quiet. Good value for money spent.

Years later and this product still works as intended

Copies up to 150GB/sec for hours-ish at a time between multiple drives. Didn't bother using attached software, I'll do it myself. If you're paranoid, reformat to NTFS or exFAT. (Don't bother with REFS.) Works on Linux too as ext4. (BTRFS? Not for production use, RTFM.) Small power brick, but long -- will cover 2 or 3 outlets. You CAN use a USB 2 cable if necessary (but why?) Shows 7.27TB exFAT after formatting, and not 8.00 -- so if you're one of THOSE, go back using floppies instead. It's NOT impervious, even under warranty -- don't depend on it (or anything) exclusively. You need to have 3 copies of a file (preferably in sync) before you've actually got 1, or effectively you don't have any at all. Don't get what I'm saying? Fill it up with 7TB of files and then drop it on the floor -- you will. Even better on sale!

Works great. Use it for extra space on my Xbox. No issues. Good price would recommend

This is amazing and so easy to use with huge amounts of storage space!!

The sounds this thing makes sound like 2 cats fighting outside my window. While I think this is isolated to my unit (which was made October this year btw), I will be much more selective in buying my next one. This one will be getting returned…

The amount of space i have for my PS5 is incredible!!!

These WD drives have a good reputation for lasting, but no drive last forever, so always make a backup. This drive is huge, 8TB, holds everything, over 20,000 hours of TV.

works very good, the size of the item goes very well!

Just picked up this 8tb WD for $179 in order to back up my movie collection. Have had great success with the last two WD external hardrives (6 TB and 3 TB) which are both still going strong. Prior to the WD, had Seagates which all failed after a few years,

Works great. Fast shipping and delivered in perfect condition.

Good I love it Easy to use I am very happy fixed a lot of problem for me

Can't beat the special price, no problems so far. Easy to get going.

Purchased three of these drives. I purchased two drives and they were both WD RED 8TB 256MB cache drives. The third one I purchased was a WD White label 8tb drive but I returned it because I wanted the red drive. Waited a month and tried a different BestBuy store. The customer rep who helped bring out different WD easystore 8tb drives was great. I was able to find the one that I wanted. These drives are great. I put two of them in my server and the third one I use as a backup drive. If you get the white label drive, its still good however there is a 3.3 pin reset issue you can look on reddit for the WD 8tb easystore. Going to be purchasing 5-6 more. :)

Works as WD always does and is as described. The ONLY downside is the speed but that is limited by the USB connection. It is the third of these I’ve got (in different capacities) and would purchase again

Easy and simple to use and have terrific life cycles I own 3 of these and my oldest is about 2 years old and has yet to fail, and that's with about every other day use.

It took me less than five minutes to connect and begin transferring files to this drive, I would recommend it to anyone as a local storage device for text, music and video files.

Bought to backup 6 TB drive. Drive was easy to setup and data transferred fast. No problems at all.
