Perfect storage space for my video, photo and gaming projects. Recommend

this is the best external hard drive. its got the maximum space at a reasonable price. WD is the best!!! I heard seagate is no good.

Got this on sale, decent size for the price I paid. Make sure to format it to NTFS if using on Windows 10 before you start putting stuff on it, or else you can't boot up the computer with it plugged in (comes as exFAT by default). Honestly, I bought it partly so I could move stuff from a different external hard drive, and format *that* one to NTFS so I wouldn't have to keep unplugging it before rebooting or starting up the computer.

Since I've had this it has worked flawlessly and I'm very satisfied.

I use this for my XBOX as external storage, it was super easy to use - first with transfering data from my other, smaller external device (which was then added to my PS4), then to the console proper. It's quiet, works beautifully, and has never given me any grief even a year later! Would recommend.

All the memory I need for a lot of files and picutres

Replaced my older model ,this one has so much more memory!

Just right size I needed and working great so far.

Easy to use and is recognized automatically. If using on a PC just plug and play. If using on a Mac, still plug and play. You have the option to download the software that is preloaded on drive if you want to truly utilize it to the fullest extent. I use it for all my music and movies and it has no issues when I am watching them over the network through Apple TV. Would highly recommend it!

Great external hard drive with lots of storage and from a great brand

THE TECH FOLKS AT USC SAID YOU SHOULD BACK UP YOUR HARD DRIVES BECAUSE THEY REALLY ONLY WORK WELL FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS. I WANTED A DRIVE I COULD BACK UP TO HAT COULD HOLD DATA FROM A COUPLE OF SMALLER DRIVES. THIS WAS DEFINITELY IT! Excellent for a time machine drive too.

Excellent, fast, reliable as have been all my WD hard drives.

Great harddrive, lots of storage for my files, also plenty for gaming

I've had several of these over the years, purchasing new ones as I need more and more space for pictures, videos and computer backups. Old, smaller drives still working great so I've had good reliability with them. Only issue is attaching them to a router so you can use them throughout your wifi home network can sometimes be a little tricky. Make the format is correct if you do that. Otherwise, great.

Quick service and selection. Works perfectly for all my backup needs.

it is a very good hard drive. I am glad I bought it

New one installed by Geek Squad. No major issues initially but was not shown how it actually worked compared to my old one replaced. After two weeks starting making load scratchy noise and was very hot. Then it died. Best Buy replaced and installed a different auto back up, without asking how it was set up previously. Fine except again was not told any details. Backs up daily and filling up the drive. No way to erase on my end. Can not access my backed up pictures, but can my digital documents and videos? A mess. Geek Squad coming.

Best hard drive for the price. Holds alot of stuff.

It works as advertised. Never had an issue with it.

I owned a lot of Western Digital Hard drives and have always have had good luck with them. I've had the 8 TB My Book for a couple of months now and it's working just as I expected it to.
