Customer Ratings & Reviews

What can I say, its an external hard drive and it does what its supposed to do. Speeds are decent as far as an HDD goes. Caught this on sale, it was a good buy. So far so good, I'm happy with this one.

This is a great drive for backup and with 8tb of space, it can hold a lot of data. Easy to hook up and use. Great price also.

I have been relying on WD almost exclusively for ALL my storage needs be it internal or external for the last decade+ and count ONE drive that has failed me in which they were able to both fix under warranty and recover my data! I ABSOLUTELY recommend them for reliable data storage and encourage you to check our their SSD internal and external lines as well. ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY PENNY! Trust me, I'm a tech god! Also, SUPER easy to use! Just plug and play!

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 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.

So far Working good as spected, easy setup. Faster with Usb 3.0

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

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.

I have a few smaller 1 and 2 gig drives - this 8 Gig drive came available for a fantastic price at Best Buy and I am glad I purchased it. USB 3 is very fast and I doubt I will fill this drive up soon. Very satisfied.

I have found these drives reliable and very affordable.

easy setup for backing up data on my NAS. Works just like it should.

I was looking for mass storage for a good price. Was about to build a NAS using bare drives. Saw the raving reviews and I bought these to use standalone and few for my NAS. All are working great, would highly recommend!

This is a fantastic value for an 8tb when on sale. The internals of the drive is very stable and reasonably fast. The drive is quiet and cool. 8TB is plenty of space. Basically everything one wants in an external drive.

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

These drives when identified properly with the model number can score you a WD red 8 TB with 256 MB of cache. It's a very good deal if you know how to shuck them properly. It took me < 5 min and I had a WD red NAS drive.

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.

Product performs well and is easy to set up and use.

Huge capacity and fast speed are what this product offers and it delivers. I have no need for the software that it comes with, so I don’t know if it’s any good. The only question at this point is how long will it last.

So far has done everything it's supposed to do. Nice size, quiet.

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