Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought 4 of these to replace 4 TB hard drives.. All have been running for 4 months with no issues.

I'm using this External Hard Drive with my Playstation 4 to extend its capability. Working perfect, great Item.

Western Digital external hard drives are very reliable. The 8GB drive is very handy and allows me to combine several external hard drives.

Ease of use, hopefully this one last longer than my last external hard drive. Love the extra space.

I have never been let down when it comes to WD products. And had this one met my needs I am sure I would have been happy. Unfortunately, this product did not meet my demands. I needed a large storage space to do full system backups on 5 desktops and 2 laptops and accessible through my network. This product is suggested for only one computer thus making it difficult to backup others. It would not work the way I wanted it to even making it a shared device on the network. I took it back and ordered the WD 8tb My Cloud drive. This has the features I need and I am happy. I cannot fault the drive as I did not understand its limitations.

8 TB is a bunch of space, even for someone like me who takes 500 photos a day. (I’m a pro photographer) so far it works great too!

I have 2 of these drives. Primary use is as a main back up for smaller portable drives that I take on location with me for big weekend photo shoots. They work but are slow and clumsy when attempting to save large amounts of data to them and slow to retrieve images. I am in the process of replacing them with a better, faster and more reliable drive.

Thanks to the USB 3 feature I was able to transfer approximately six terabytes of data in less than just a few hours.

A little noise. I put it on a pad of paper. Good price and work fine. I would recommend base on my experience so far.

Easy to set up. The hard drive is fast and quiet. Because of its size it is ideal for backing up laptops and holding backups of photo storage.

I pulled this thing apart as WD does not sell an 8GB internal drive in their blue version, but this drive does indeed perform perfectly for me. Good Drive, Great Price.

For those of us still using desktop computers this external hard drive has the capacity to store pictures and documents. Easy to install.

More than enough space. Plug and play easy peasy. Not very noticeable, sleek in design. It's my backup to my backup.

More than ample space. I just hope I can use on the new Xbox. The setup was very simple. A much needed purchase either way

8TB - Fast and spacious storage for plenty of photos and videos. It is also compact and takes minimum space on my desk.

I had a 5tb My Book for my Xbox One which started filling up fast since games take up so much memory these days. Then one day my 5tb stopped responding. I decided that while I work to get my 5tb working again, I'd get this 8tb to replace it for now. This 8tb has worked so much smoother than the 5tb HD and this 8tb is a bit more sleek in design. Well worth the money - a great product from WD.

I bought this because the then in use HD was on the verge of failing. I needed to transfer what was on a 3TB model before it was lost AND have sufficient room for future storage. I saw this model while in store and decided to buy it. I've used the products before and trust it. The storage size was right, the unit was on sale, and, as always, I knew that BestBuy stands by their sales. Operationally, it is plug and go. I haven't had any problems with it. If you need a massive amount of storage for a great price then consider buying this.

Bought so that Xbox one would have more storage capacity for all of my kids games. Works great and was fairly cheap for the amount of storage.

Very impressed with the speed and storage capacity . Easy plug and play use. Quality product.

The hard drive was good quality and had ease of use at attractive price. Western Digital products are so nice, i'll never think twice about buying another brand.
