Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really needed another external hard drive that was larger than 4 TB and I had read many reviews about this drive. I looked online and saw that there was a reduction in price and I jumped on the opportunity to purchase it and it was a very good investment!

I love this drive. It has red drives which is vey good for NAS systems. 5 Star.

This backup drive is HUGE!!! I plan to use it to store my ever growing backups.

WD is my favorite HD mfger. Reliable and dead simple to set up. I didn't read any reviews on this purchase because a friend tipped me off to these drives and had already done the leg work. Best Buy shipped and delivered as promised and drive is working great!

8TB Western Digital Red NAS for half the price of a bare drive. Can't beat that.

Works great!!! Fast USB 3.0 Connection and 8Tb of storage, just what I needed!!

Installed quickly, has enough capacity to hold the 7 terabytes on my computer.

I had the older 3tb model which worked great for years, but after I bought a fourth hard drive, I needed to increase my backup space to something above 6tb. This was the perfect choice! It's really much smaller than it looks. The only negative is that it's not USB-powered, and has to be plugged into the wall, but that's to be expected with something powerful like this. Some people say that it's loud, but I honestly don't hear it. Probably because it's sitting at the end of my desk, right next to the PC tower. It doesn't include its own backup software, which the earlier model did (and it wasn't good). I personally recommend AOMEI Backupper, as it's much faster with more options than many others, and the free version works perfectly. Always keep your data backed up!

For the price this is a great hard drive for storage and it's also pretty fast.

I own seven of these for use in cloud storage and they never have let me down.

This 8T drive is great for backing up system, application, and personal files.

I bought this HDD after reading several reviews stating that it has a WD Red drive inside, and it does. At $180 it is a huge deal. The drive can get pretty warm since it uses passive cooling, but I'm not too worried about it since I will be using it to perform a once a month backup from my NAS and then I will store it offsite until the next month. I highly recommend this drive.

It's the best product. I loved it because I could buy it at reasonable prices.

Good deal, good speeds, haven't tested but haven't had any issues downloading large volumes of files.

As a video producer, I purchased a few of these for “deep storage” of my work.

Drive works as expected. Best price around for 8TB hard drives. Will buy more.

Best HDD for NAS I bought two from best buy. Satisfied with price and quality

Worked exactly as I hoped it would; 1/2 off the price convinced me to buy it.

Very easy to use, copy file quickly. I like it. Buy it again when it’s fulled.

Exactly what I wanted, 8 million gigabytes . No excuse not to do backups now.
