Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this and a 4 port USB hub for my son's playstation, with this he should no longer eat up the 1TB of internet we get with cox from being out of storage on his 500gb playstation and deleting games and reinstalling games to play with his friends, some of these games are well over 100 GBs and you will find yourself having to pay overage with your internet service provider, only thing I wish is that I could plug the hub in his playstation then plug this hard drive into the hub, but I can't do that, the playstation says the external hard drive has to be plugged directly into the playstations usb, it's no big deal since I have the hub also, if you're going to buy this for your child specifically for their playstation I would 100% recommend buying a 4 port USB hub also to use to charge controllers, heads sets, cell phones, cause after plugging in the hard drive they will only have 1 USB left on the playstation to charge up stuff, the $30 4 port USB hub I also bought from bestbuy plugs into the wall so its hot all the time, you can charge up everything even with the playstation turned off, they have cheaper ones that don't have outlets and are only hot when the playstation is powered on.

Plug and play. Device recognized it right away. It asked me a few questions about how I would like to store my data. Never have had to look back. Just the way I like it.

I have a couple of these and have had no issues with them.

Fast storage for a good price. Unless you get an SSD , this is one of the best you can get without breaking the bank

Working great, and got it when it was on sale! If you need speed, grab an external ssd. This is great cheap storage.

Bought this to consolidate several computers worth of pictures, documents, games, movies onto one drive. Should be able to fit everything onto this. Here's to hoping...

Good price for 8TB external drive. Transfers from this drive to NAS drive over GigEthernet connection at 60MB/sec. Not the fastest rate, but still very good performance.

I've owned many external hard drives over the years. While any company can make the occasional bad unit (or develop a problematic product line), I've found Western Digital drives to be quite reliable. This one sports excellent speed and massive storage, which is perfect for backing up all of my digital content while providing plenty of room for future growth. All in all, I'm loving this drive!

Reasonably fast, reliable, doesn't produce too much heat and easy to setup.

8 tbs of shuckable storage. great for nas, and other mass storage requirements.

Worked perfectly and I appreciate the great customer service.

Needed the extra space and the price was great on Black Friday. I've had a computer crash and lost all my info so only use externals to store info now to prevent that.

I have two of these. The first one bought a couple of years ago. I've had no issues with it and appreciate the space.

The price for this 8TB hard drive can not be beat. I opened the case with some fine pointed tools and guitar picks to find a Red NAS drive. To be more specific it was: WD Red 8TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6 Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch I expect thus drive to perform like my other WD red drives. They have a fantastic realibility record both from online reviewed and through my own personal usage.

Great video file storage, was able to transfer over 4 TBs of adult entertainment to it. Quick to open and retrieve files.

Very happy with it, great for storing videos and pictures

Picked this up on Christmas Holiday Sale Priced. Not sure how you could beat the price for 8TB. Back-up software is simple and the same for the small 2TB to the 8TB..

This is extremely quiet and easily my new favorite external hard drive! I figured the 8tb would be sufficient for me.

This thing is a beast, it holds a lot of data. It’s an external and I don’t use it much but it works fine when I do.

Just the ticket to save all the stuff that is vital for the future.
