Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had good luck in the past with WD hard drives so this should hold up as well.

Very good quality external hard drive for the price. Very easy to use, setup, and begin transferring and storing data. Came with some junk on it that I had to remove so that wasn't so great. Otherwise, this is a fantastic external hard drive.

Got an excellent price on this item at Best Buy during a sale. It seems to work fine although set up was a bit confusing. Not really plug and play. It does make some noise. Not totally quiet. The real test is if it will last, and how long, so since i’ve Only had it for about a month, this review is not conclusive.

This external has a very nice professional NAS level WD Red drive inside. The drive manufacture date is recent and it's very reliable. Only regret is not getting it on even more of a discount :D

The 8TB EASYSTORE is super quiet while the 8TB My Book Desktop drive had an annoying low pitched vibration that could be heard and felt as it sat on my desk. In comparison, the EASYSTORE is dead silent and I don't even notice it. The 8TB WD EASYSTORE costs more than the 8TB My Book Desktop HDD but it is well worth it to me . It is rumored that the 8TB EASYSTORE uses the higher quality WD Red NAS disk which is known to be quiet and reliable.

easy to install. Loads fastest if plugged to USB port on the PC itself. Slowest when plugged to multiport usb router whether powered or not!

Using it for my xbox. Worked like a charm. Easy to use. No other software needed.

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

Great storage option. Only issue was I bought it and there was an even bigger storage option went on sale. No worries this will do for a while.

I bought this to replace a 6 TB MyCloud that is no longer supported. It was easy to set-up and works fine. Massive storage!

Great add on for my PS5. Fast quite and reliable. I always highly recommend Western Digital.

Hard drive is easy to set up and works well with transfer of files. One of the best on the market.

The drive Looks great and compact. Sleek and seems well-made. So far so good.

This has performed well for my needs. As an amateur photographer I use this drive to backup my collection of raw files

Fantastic price for tons of storage. This western digital storage device is, as usual, easy to unpack and install. 8 GB might seem like a lot in storage but certainly will hold for the future.

Western Digital offers superior performance to competitors such as Seagate and has a broader selection of products that can serve more varied uses

I just got a new camera and higher end gaming computer for processing photos and videos but needed more room for storage. I wasn't really looking for so much as 8TB, but saw this on a deal of the deal (for slightly under 50% of the current price). With the great customer ratings, it was too good a value to pass up. Easy to install and so far, works great. Assuming it lasts, it will be a long time before I need any more storage.

Excellent product. I do really appreciate the great service that you are providing in our community. The product works well as described in the ad.

I grabbed two of these to set up a NAS with a Raspberry Pi 4. They are working just fine for what I am using them for. I can't complain.

Faster transfer speeds than I expected. It can be a bit noisey in a completely quiet house, but luckily I don't have a completely quiet home to often!
