Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to use with my PS5, it works so good and saves me a ton of space on my playstation.

This easy store device has been extremely useful as an onsite backup for my files

great price for the storage capacity easy to use and self explanatory

Good product, has alot of space. The only down side is it is bulky.

Excellent, it worked for my saved storage of pictures and more information

works incredible and is extra easy to use. I have this across my ps4, Xbox One, and my pc so this is amazing and I love this brand.

It stores much of my video archives in one place rather than having files scattered over three of four external hard drives. Good price for a quality 8TB hard drive.

WD Easystore drives are fast and high capacity for a relatively low price. This one was no exception, allowing me to add to my home server without much of any trouble. Diagnostics identify mine as likely housing one of the "white label" WD Red-comparable drives, and it's acted just like any other so far. Would very much recommend this, especially when it goes on sale. Hard to get this kind of storage value anywhere else. Originally heard about this series on Reddit and I've not been disappointed.

Simple and easy to install. Not a single issue has popped up, couldn't really ask for anything more than this.

My and some friends keep a "music vault" where we have over 170000 songs and over 500 movies, over 35 complete series of various tv shows. This 8gb is more than what we need, give us room for growth. GREAT BLACK FRIDAY PRICE TOO!!

Reformatted to exfat so I could use on both Mac OS and Windows. Set up was seamless. Working as expected. Took advantage of a Daily Deal and very happy with purchase.

It's very fast, and works well in general.. however it seems to disconnect itself or "fall asleep" semi-frequently and will no open folders, without me unplugging it and plugging it back in. Feels like it's trying to crash on me two months in.

This WD 8 TB USB 3.0 external drive is perfect for all your external storage needs. High megapixel, 14-bit RAW, DSLR photographs take up a ton of space and this external unit is the answer. I can store primary copies on my internal hard drives and backup copies on the external drive. This unit goes on sale all the time and is a great all around unit. I own two. I bought the second because the first one checked all the boxes on what I needed for an external hard drive.

So far, so good. I've only begun moving pics from my saved pages to the external hard drive. No issues thus far.

This easystore 8TB hard drive is the third 8TB WD unit I bought and replaces two smaller external drives. As usual, it is easy to set up and works flawlessly. I don't install any of Western Digital's software, no scheduled backup for me, I just use the drive to store files on an as-needed basis. In the past, I have had external hard drives crash, so I believe in redundancy. This extra-large hard drive is just what I need to handle my OCD problem of storing more and more data files. Sad, isn't it? Don't answer that.

Wait for these to go on sale. $129 is the max you should pay and you can do better if you wait. Very reliable drives and much cheaper option than equivalent bare drive.

Easy to use, works great, and its small and doesn't get in the way.

Good value... Works well as a backup and an external drive! Instructions could use a bit more clarification but if you know what you're doing, it's a solid product.

Drives are such a great value for your money. I have purchased 5 of the 8TB drives over the past year and have yet to have any issues. I love the easystore line from WD

Purchased this so I could keep it connected to my main computer for regularly scheduled backups. I am a photographer and need a reliable system. Have never had issues with Western Digital products. This is my 3rd external hard drive I have purchased. Still using the others for additional backup redundancy. I do keep the door open where it is running in my cabinet desk and have hole drilled in the back wall of the cabinet for air circulation to keep it from overheating.
