Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

This is the 2nd WD 8T after the first one works really well.

Very reliable. Works well with intensive read write tasks and on all the time. Much better than Seagate (which failed quickly) and other alternatives such as USB enclosures. Recommended!

Great storage device for backups, have another 4 TB capacity that is about 8 years old and still works. Use to backup my Synology NAS.

Needed additional storage for pictures and files - this external drive is perfect. So easy to use. Literally plug and play and drag and drop. Super simple.... I have used this on multiple PC's.

I'm a person that constantly work with big files and this hard drive have provided me with the space and not to mention the transferring of files is fast.

I got this during the sale for $139. I’ve been trying to decide on buying this for a year now and jumped all over it during the sale. Only problem I had is that I wanted to install internal any my bios just would not recognize this drive, no matter what I tried. Not the drives fault since it is external... Just disappointed. I already recommended to a friend and we both purchased at the same time.

Nice size drive and works just as it should. No issues connecting or using,

It works wonderfully, I've been loading photos. I have over 80 photo books or memories.

for storage of files, these are good. nowhere near as fast as SSD, but from what I hear, SSD are not good for archiving files so these are the best bet for holding onto files locally.

Second one I bought, since the first was excellent. Have had no issues after a year with the first one. Great price and performance. I believe this is the best drive you can get at this price.

This external drive brings down the cost of storage to the point where you can keep all your stuff plus some. Creating a system image or using the WD backup software enables you to keep multiple backups. USB 3 is the only way to go for high speed transfer.

Initially purchased a WD 'My Book' drive for myself two - three years ago. I was looking to protect all my files to prevent lose from a computer failure which happened to me several years back. So when this WD 'Easy Store' was placed on sale I purchased it as it has larger capacity than my WD 'Book' moved the 'Book' to my husband's computer and all is good! I'm old school not a big fan of the 'Cloud' for me this is a great backup drive fast and plenty of storage capacity at a very reasonable price would recommend to anyone in need of external storage, who like me isn't a 'Cloudy"! am

So far so good. I use this desktop storage for my media (Photo, movies etc.) This particular unit named "Easystore" is the same as Element which is more widely available.

Works perfect for my PS4. My system was really bogged down because of all the data I had.. This obviously helped clear a lot of space up and I noticed that my system runs a lot better now too.

Does it’s job, high performance. I’ve bought a few hard drives where eventually the power connection gives out but it’s still going strong after 1 year.

This drive is a Best Buy exclusive (not available at other retailers). I use the easystore drives as backup drives for WD My Book drives of identical size. The My Book drives serve as the primary drives while the easystore drives are used as backup drives. My general experience with using the easystore drives in this fashion is good (although I have experienced recent WD My Book drive failures).

Roni compact and easy to set up very stable and strong material would really recommend it

I love the quality and the sapce that this hard drive give you to your computer. I can store my family videos and personal photos

Latest pro cameras have huge sensors which requires one to have huge backups!!! Very important to backup ones images
