easy to install. runs smoothly for almost 2 months. so far so good

The external 8TB drive itself is great! My experience with Western Digital left me wondering how they ever made it in business. How so? There are no actual directions of any sort with their product so off to the WD website where it appears that you have access to 3 things -- drive utilities, drive "software", and what I was after, a backup utility. What happens next is classic -- the backup software is labelled "No longer supported, use this other one (not by WD)," then the software packaged for the drive has some features and functions -- none having anything to do with this particular model. I ended up simply prepping and formatting the unit with Windows and running a 3rd party backup application. Much looking at the WD website gave me the distinct impression that this company has no clue about customers or how to package effective support material for their products -- there are various cute and clever names attached to one series or another of their products and that's about it. I left the site thankful that they have an engineering department that is on top of the game -- their storage devices are the best and glad that I don't need any exposure to the rest of the company -- what a disaster (imho).

Western digital! They’ve been solid for me. This one works!

Perfect for my needs. I am not very computer savvy and it was not difficult to format for my MacBook Air.

the product was easy to install and instantly serviced my needs.

I was able to purchase this on sale and it has the capacity to hold everything I need it to with plenty of room to spare. I will not worried about running out of hard drive space for a long time.

Works great so far. I've only had it for a few months hopefully it will continue working for years to come

Love this Great size connects well and good bang for the buck

There was a another WD Easystore external hard drive, a 10TB, offered at the same time. I did some simple math and it turned out the price per terabit was almost exactly the same. I needed a backup, but decided to hedge my bets with an 8TB instead of the 10TB. Plus it came with a Shutterfly offer ($25 or the 8X8 photo book) That further reduced the price per TB. I've had nothing but success with WD products, so I took this combo.

I finally got this 8tb hard drive with a great price. It should be better than another one easystore 8tb.

As always WD is a great company. Love all of the room. I can back up multiple computers on this one unit.

So far no issues very easy to use thinking about getting another one

I’ve been looking for a external hard for a while now and when I saw this on sale for the size it was a steal. Anyone who is looking for a great hard drive to use on there Xbox one this one is definitely a good one. It is easy to set up plug it in run the set up on your Xbox and Your good to go.

Tons of external space at a great price. Works fine so far.

Absolutely loving it for extra storage with high speed transfers.

works well, no issues great storage space. speed of product good,

I purchased 4 of these drives in the last 4 months. I will be buying a few more this spring. They work very well and for the price you can't do better. The four that I have contained WD Red drives. I will be using them in a FreeNAS server I am going to build. Can't do better than these drives.

Super simple to use, quiet and very portable. Solid construction.

good for what I need and the price was ok. might get another one

I love these easy store drives. They are great for backups and moving offsite to a family members house.
