I'm really happy with my new external hard drive, because it have a fast response more than other brand. I would like to recommend this hard drive. Thanks BestBuy

Gives me the space I need to store my many photos, freeing up space on my computer, which now runs better.

Love the small footprint and the quick speed of backing up files and searching through the information. Easy to use the backup software and scans through files great.

Ended a drive to store all the video and photos on my laptop. Easy to hook up and transfer the data. So far so good in the month I have had this device

Quickly traps and ensnares those 1s and 0s that try to get away. We need the digits for a reason. Use this number prison to safely contain those little rascals!

This is a must buy for people who play a lot of different games or who have multiple users on one system. Don't waste money on buying internal HDD's, this is all you need.

Works as expected. Have purchased several "My Book" external hard drives in the past for back-up.

I have always bought Western Digital external hard drives and never had any problems with them!! This is my second 8TB as I never save anything to my computer's hard drive.

It worked well for about a month. It tipped over once from it's standing position onto the desk. It never worked again. Would never purchase again.

I purchased this 8-terabyte hard drive for my personal photos in videos as an archivable vault. after storing approximately 2 terabytes of data the hard drive began to fail by refusing to download files and became progressively worse within a 3-hour period. I have about 9 external hard drives purchased over a 15 year. From Western Digital and never once have I had a problem with any of the data storage devices. I have switched to a solid-state device with the hope that I never run into this problem again and the possibility of losing family treasured photographs and videos.

Works great. Takes a little time for the first back up,then after that you are all set. Just plug it in when you would like to back up. We used this for both mac books.

Finally I don't have to worry about running out of backup space for a while. It's great to be able to consolidate backups from various drives onto one device.

Exactly what expected, does WD do anything lease? Fits the b Need, reliable.

I do my updates on an hourly basis and have no issues as of yet. My first week with this I would check the back up files daily to ensure it was working. Great product.

I’d like a switch to turn it on/off rather than just plugging it in but decent, even running 8K R3D files off it without too many dropped frames.

The My-Book 8 terra byte storage system is a simple use external hard drive and excellent security systems in place.

It works great. It is a very good for all the music we want to put on it. Thank you

I use this to do backup of 4.Tb data daily. have not have any problem. using USB connection average speed of 160m/s. good for old pc windows 7.

Needed a larger HD for backup of my MacBook Pro & other external HD’s. Purchased this 8TB on sale & highly recommend Western Digital hard drives.

I purchased hoping to make it a network backup from my router, but it's not working for that. Possibly my router and not a hard drive problem. Works great connected directly to computer.
