Customer Ratings & Reviews

Is what I expected so far, Still learning the different things that can be done.

it is a good external drive, tons of space, good for backup use. a little noisy.

I purchased a number of these drives over the past 12 months for my network. These drives are a great value ($/TB). The USB 3.0 is great for fast and large file transfers if you do not intend on shucking the drive and using it as an internal.

This was purchased as a replacement to a 6TB WD external drive that I use as a Time Machine for my Mac. After two years on that old unit, it started to give me trouble -- finally, six months later, it died. I don't like spending money on what is, essentially, a 2-year lease for a hard drive, but I have to have a backup. Let's hope the last one was a fluke and this one works out for a few more years.

always love western digital hard drives,higher gigs the better.fast and reliable.

This is a very shockable drive, it pops right out. They are still white label red drives but they are definitely air filled and not helium filled which means they tend to run a bit hotter. Either way when these go on sale I’m a sucker and buy to that I can shuck it like an oyster and pop it in my NAS.

This Western Digital Hard Drive is great quality and bought it at a great price.

I own several Western Digital drives. This 8TB high capacity model was reasonably priced and worth the investment. Plugged in and started backing up multiple drives with business info immediately using Time Machine on my MacBook Pro. Highly recommend!

I got this for use with my ps4. No problems at all. Finally enough space for now.

High capacity, fast, reliable drive. One user wrote about possible overheat issue. Mine did not over heat, but I added a small fan at lowest speed to the location where 4 external HDs are located, and all of them feels quite cool.

The drive is working great and I ran it 24/7 without any problems or slow down.

Very intuitive and easy to use,it exceeded my expectations in terms of quality.

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.

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