Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you want tons of space to save things like pictures, video games, tv shows, movies....etc.....etc.....this is something for you. With that many TB this will go a long ways.

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

Not too bulky and the speed and extra storage is awesome.

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.

Excellent hardware! Seamless storage usage and great for business and personal storage.

Works great for time machine on my mac! The only bad thing is it is a little loud sometimes because of the mechanical spinning drive!!

Advertised as usable on a Mac but you have to reformat it before you can use it on a mac. Getting it reformatted required a call to the WD user support line to walk me through how to format it using their app as the normal Mac format tools wouldn't touch the drive. After getting it formatted it worked fine.

It was easy to attach the drive and format it. Worked as expected.

the hard drive worked as expected. Was recognized by my windows pc.

Bought five of these to use the drives in my new QNAP TS-873. All contained WD80-EMAZ drives, which by all accounts, are one of several "Red" equivalents. You don't get the 5-year warranty, but it's worth the tradeoff to me at this particular point in time. Getting them out was easier than I thought, and I managed to be patient and not break anything, so I still have 5 good enclosures. For the price when they're on sale, you can't beat them, whether you're using them as externals or for the drives; the enclosures don't look bad sitting on a desk, either.

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

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.

Everything we expected out of the unit. Yes its larger than the poket units, but the storage capacity is the limiting factor.

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.

I have multiple WD external HDDs and am very satisfied with the products. As a rule, I only but WD drives for internal and external use. This drive is high quality, well built and stays in line with WDs proven track record of quality and reliability.

Very happy with my purchase of this external hard drive. Was very easy to transfer all of my pictures and documents from my old desktop to the hard drive.

I'm one of those people who does a ton of research about a product before I buy it. I do a lot of video editing with 4K footage and photography so needed a fast and reliable unit at a good price point. This product offers all of that. Can't beat it.

I wouldn't consider myself a power user but I just needed a large capacity hard drive to store movies and this fit the bill. With media going 4k, files are larger than ever so to get 8tb for $160 is an incredible bargain. I've spent a considerable amount of time modifying my home theater setup so every component is as quiet as possible. Who wants to hear equipment whirling while watching movies? This hard drive is dead silent and barely gets hot even after prolonged use. I am considering buying another...one thing you can't have enough of is hard drive space.

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.

Great plug and play hard drive for my Mac Time Machine backup.
