Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought these to store a ton of video footage for a documentary that I was involved in shooting and they worked out just great. Gave me lots of storage space and are plug and play.

Great backup of files.----------------------------

I'm a big fan of WD external drives so I knew what I was getting. Right out of the box it was ready to go. No formatting necessary as I was using it as a capture device for my XBOX One S and X. I even bought 2 because the Black Friday price was to good to pass up.

Needed to backup my files and this was the perfect choice. Tons of space for photos and videos.

Quality product, Very easy to use. love the design.

I've been running this for a few months now, and all is good. No issues out of the box. Connects easily to my PC. Time will tell how it holds up, but so far no complaints.

I needed a drive that would store a large amount of data, long term, and this drive fills the bill. Operation is very quiet and speed is satisfactory over USB. As always, make sure you have alternate copies of critical data files as no method of storage is forever.

With the HUGE data storage tasks I have to deal with (4k video; high bit-rate WAV audio production, engineering data management tasks, etc.) I need BIG storage tanks to keep projects in one place and not 'spread out' over several computers. This is the way to go.

It does what it says it does. Good value for what I was looking for.

I use Kodi for my home video and music library and have bought 2 of these. Previously, I've owned many WD external drives. They are solid! Dependable and affordable.

Very easy to use and a life saver as my current back up drive was running out of space

I have another WD 3TB external hard drive that I used for 2-3 years before filling it up with family pics and videos. It worked great and still does. I read reviews on this 8TB unit and the internal workings are listed to be state of the art and very dependable. I was hesitant to get 8 TB but the price was so good that I couldn't pass it up. It has worked flawlessly so far and should last me a long time with that much capacity. Well pleased with WD products. The customer service is super, the few times I have had questions about the unit.

Bought my 3rd drive for PS4 and works really well! had the other two for 1 year and had zero problems!

What is not to love about this. These externals contain WD's NAS RED drives. Depending on if it is from Thailand (256mb cache) or China (128mb cache) it is an amaaaazing buy. If you were to buy these as internal drives they cost almost $100 more. HEADS UP: If you shuck the drive you void the warranty but I have never had problems with these drives. Talk about a SUUUUUPER buy. Perfect for PLEX server.

Grabbed this as a Deal of the Day special. Shucked it to see which drive was inside, but it was the white label 8TB, not the red. Put it back in the enclosure, plugged it in, and scheduled my backups through Windows 10. I did not use the WD backup software they offered, so I cannot say whether it’s any better or worse than Windows. As for operation, no problems. The drive runs silently in the stock enclosure, and aside from the activity light on the front, I forget that it’s even there next to my tower.

So far this is my 4th external drive I purchase from Best Buy. All of them being a WD easystore. So far I haven't had any problems with any of them. I have used them for ps4 or xbox one storage.

This is my 3rd WD external storage device. I keep buying more because they work! They are easy to set up and manage and so far I’m happy with the this purchase and would strongly recommend WD.

Great product. Easy to connect and has great amount of storage.

This thing has been a life saver in terms of being of several points of backup. Plug and play. Its easy to use and set up, and will have you being thankful if anything happens to your main drives.

This was just what i needed for extra storage for my ps5. Works great and I have 350+ games saved on it and still have available space
