Great drive and highly portable. Will Look great on your desk. I had to purchase a second one since I already filled up the first one.

First one purchased was defective.. the connector on the hard drive did not line up. Thankfully BB swapped it out for me.. I have the same drive I purchased 2 years ago.. still going strong.. these are connected to the Xbox x and Xbox 1

There is a lot of storage space for your pictures and home videos and other backup that you need. This is not the small portable laptop version but it sits nicely on a desk and requires a separate ac outlet to work. It makes a clicking noise on data access once in a while but it's quiet otherwise.

Price was right. Easy to use - plug and play. Just what I needed to save a ton of photos and documents!!

I love these drives and have several of them. I haven't had good success with the reliability of other brands, but WD has never let me down.

The external hard drive works well, and I like that it has a lot of storage space.

The performance of this drive is pretty good, I purchased this to use as a Steam games drive in my computer, but it can also be used with the Xbox One, PS4, or any other game console that supports USB storage. If you don't mind opening it up, you'll find a regular 3.5" desktop SATA drive with performance similar to the WD RED line of drives, you may even find a WD RED inside depending on how old the stock is.

Using it for computer backup - certainly a great price and smaller than I anticipated. I have gotten errors a couple of times about not being able to complete a backup. But I just restart everything & it works fine. My computer repair person recommended it so I really didn't do much research.

Western Digital simplicity. Lives up to its Easy name and is easy to set up and immediately starting adding files to the drive. Using on USB 2.0 desktop and no problems connecting.

Very nice and easy to use product. Simple to hook up. Preety easy all the way around.

My husband is OCD with photos and has a dozen of these with family pics stashed all around

Works well, stores all my files like a champion, 8tb meets my needs

For the price you can't beat it if all you need is portable storage. Quick note though if you are planning on running media (Music, Videos, Pictures, etc.) on it from most TV's or Blue Ray Players you need to format at least 4 partitions of 2 TB before putting files on the drive as they tend not to recognize hard drives larger than 2 TB. Also the data transfer cord stays connected much better in this model than in previous models.

these are essentially WD RED drives....cheapest way to getWD NAS REDS...i own 20 of them atleast never had one issue...i take the drives out of the enclosure and put them right into my server no issues people have reported using them exernal (taking the drive out of the enclosure) have issues and you may need a molex to sata converter (google 3.3v issue) but my servers pick them up just fine

Bought this for a PS4, does as intended, adds plenty of space for downloaded games.. doubt I'll run out of space now.

This backup is working great for my primary video/animation workstation. The size helps backup the large video drives nightly.

I've been using this drive for a little while. It was on sale when I bought it. So the price was great for the storage size. But compare to three other external drives that I own, this one runs hot after about 20 minutes of use. So I unplug it after two or three hours using it. I don't know if this is normal for this type of drives which has plastic cover. My other drives with a different brand have metal cover which conducts heat better I believe. So far so good. I hope it lasts long so I don't lose files I saved in this drive. Time will tell.

Performs well for a USB 3 external housing a 5400 or 5900 rpm drive. I have a couple WD My Book external 4TB USB 3s which run 7200 rpm drives, and I'm getting similar write speeds to those. The Easy Store is getting 85-100 MB/sec write. Haven't tested the read speed yet, but I imagine if the writes are comparable, the reads will do just as well. I knocked off a star because it comes with nearly a half a GB of software which I'll never use for my needs and will probably delete eventually, and also because the drive doesn't easily "safely remove" from Windows. Takes some fiddling to get that aspect to cooperate. Overall 8TB for the price was great.

I only use this for my data backup process and raw photos. Connected via usb, it does the job nicely. I don't notice any lag time in processing, so the 7200 bpm is doing the job.

Eliminate all the thump drives and other portable hard drives, one device for all your downloads, data, photos, music. Movies, DVD rip and so on. Good buy for the money I believe it’s worth it to be able to have everything in one place, without searching for what you need. I recommend this product for anyone looking for a way to deciliter and clean up their hard drive without using the cloud.
