Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very pleased with capacity, price and speed to store backup of pics and data.

I love this drive so much I bought a second!!! I have it as additional storage on my stream server in my home.

This is a nice quality storage for my ps4. Holds most of my game collections and quality is good.

Ease of use and great hard drive to backup information

Works great. If it was a little cheaper I would have given it five stars.

Bought this for our xbox one, after my other one failed. It works great so far. Love all the space

It definitely works great and have had no issues! Use it to back up my phone and computer!

Does what it says on the box. I have many versions going back years and I always go with WD

This churned away as my backup for about a year before it stopped working. Western Digital's warranty replacement was pretty painless and fulfilled in about a week. Hopefully the replacement will last a little longer.

My previous 4TB MyBook lasted for years and died just after I spent funds replacing my 10+ year old home computer. In a pinch, I ran to the local Best Buy and purchased another MyBook (8TB) and then set up my CrashPlan/Code 42 account to restore my data. No problem--yahoo for offsite backup. The WD site and built-in software was new, unnecessary, and different. Regardless, all was set up, no data was lost, and I was fully functional again. That was in March 2023. This one died in November 2023. It made a funny noise for a few minutes one day, then poof. Nothing would work. I've now purchased a solid-state option from another manufacturer.

I use this for downloading images for my business. Will buy another one soon!

We are very pleased with the external disk drive. Does what it is advertised to do.

The WD 8TB drive works as advertised. I only have on issue with the two that I have purchased so far. They are formatted as exFAT. I only use them with NTSF formatting, so I have to do a quick format to change it. All the previous drives I have purchased from WD were NTFS. Not sure why they are sending them our as exFAT now. It was disappointing to find out after I had put information the first one that it was not working properly. But, now I know to check them before writing info to them....

Excellent product! Very easy to connect and start downloading files.

Item performs as advertised. this was the best value we found at the time we were looking for an external HD.

So far working great. More storage more games. Some games are enormous so the extra space is perfect.

Great hard drive. I have not had any problems far. Got it for a great price at Best Buy.

My go to hard drive for backing up all my photography and videography work

Great product, no issues so far, just plug in and go..

Items works well and is easy to set up and use. Not the WiFi connected version, which I didn’t want.
