Warning NOT for PS5! Not fast enough to cold store PS5 games, but you can store ps4 games. Space for days and days and days.

Large external hard drive. I use it for Time Machine backups and file storage. It always stays connected and is quite fast.

This thing has been a life saver in terms of being of several points of backup. Plug and play. Its easy to use and set up, and will have you being thankful if anything happens to your main drives.

Excellent drive for the money. I use it to back up video files, and I have had no problems with it. It's performed flawless.

Replacing a seagate 3TB drive that died. Easily reformatted to macOS. Is going to take a while to fill this up. Planning to host my iTunes music and movies on this drive

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.

Connected easy to the mac book and was easy to install

Easy to use and hook up to a laptop. Quick to backn up to.

Easy to use, performs as needed, no problems. I just wish that the backup software was a little easier to use.

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.

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...

I have a few of these devices and they work as they should. Good value for the price when compared to other offerings.

Hard Drive is working just fine. This is my second hard drive of this size.

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!

I have this as my main hard drive for my PC. I also get another one to use as a back up of this one. Love WD. Def my choice

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.

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.

Excellent Drive and very reliable. This is my 3rd one and all are going very strong. It is also very fast for a regular HDD.

Bought two for use with a small media server that cannot fit 3.5" HDDs. Both have been setup in a Windows Storage Pool and on 24/7 for over a month now. Zero problems.

The WD EasyStore 8TB external hard drive is a must for anyone with any kind of computer. Most hard drives on desktop and laptops have a max capacity of 1-2 TB. With the Easystore, backing up data is a breeze, recalling files is simple, and clearing out a hard drive that is near capacity will increase the efficiency of the computer itself.
