Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have purchased several of these drives to back up large volumes of video. So far I have experienced no problems at a ll.

Very easy to set up and use. Had it up and running in just a few minutes.

Nice hard drive. Fast, plenty of storage and quiet. I like it and I'd recommend it.

The external hard drive was worth the buy. It provide more space than needed.

when you work and then not enough disk space now what get a WD - easystore® 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive lots of space.

Really working good, holding my large itunes music collection. Definitely recommend.

Works great. Looks great in office. We use it to dump hard drive on when it fills up.

I own several of these now. They're basically WD RED drives in an enclosure, but for a much cheaper price than the actual internal drives. The fact they aren't "green" drives means they should last a good long while. The only issue with them is the passive cooling, if you choose to use these as externals (the way they come), be careful of it overheating when writing a lot of data to it. I actually took mine out of the plastic enclosures and put them in my PC where I have fans cooling them.

Purchased for Unraid. A great storage drive. NOT helium, fyi, but that's ok.

Good product. Easy to use and set up. Easily save photos and other information

I am using this as a backup device to my network attached storage. It works great and have no issues. Very easy to setup.

loved this! took me a few to walk through setting it up but honestly this is perfect and got it on sale for a great price!

Was looking at different option for hard drive but found this one for great price

It is an awesome item to store large number of music files and other mutimedia sources. Very reliable working 24x7 days.

Perfect hard drive to shuck the drive out of and put it in a NAS

Saw this deal on Cyber Monday for $129 and was too good to pass up for 8TB. Unlike others, I'm strictly using it for external storage and backup and not shucking the case. I've always stuck with WD drives and have never had an issue, maybe I've been lucky. Easy plug and play on Win 10, working great so far.

Finally, enough storage that I don't think I will run out for a very long time!

So far so good -- I've been only plugging it in when i need to back up, about every 2 weeks, then eject and unplug again. I'm hoping that will extend the life of the product. I typically get about 3 years from these drives (I use on a mac for time machine backups).

Gave this to my son who does filming. He was really excited to have so much storage!

Plenty of storage with this 8TB drive. Great for videos, music, or large files. You can't go wrong with Western Digital.
