This 8TB External Hard Drive works great thank you for great product.

I Purchased an 18 Terra and it's great. I only have a usb 3.0 port but still the transfer rate was between 160M and 195M

The WD Elements 16 TB 3.0 USB Hard Drive is the very best drive I have ever used. Speed is great, Easy setup. I couldn't be happier. It has 16 TB of storage that will keep me in backups for a long time. I recommend this drive to anyone who needs a lot of reliable storage. Thanks Newegg for selling a reliable and quality product. mgp

Massive storage, itty-bitty desk space. Equivalent to throwing a pile of DVDs into a cave - big room, little files. Plug and play functionality.


Good price for 12 TB, was able to transfer an older drive’s contents with plenty of space to spare for media storage.


Works exactly like an external drive should. I actually plugged it into my Lubuntu machine, not expecting a problem and not getting one - it worked fine, once I reformatted to a proper NTFS partition. (I could have done Ext4 but I do swap it around to the Windows boxes also.) I had zero trouble.

Everything is high quality, from case, drive, cables, power, online manual, registration. The USB-C connection seems to work steady and well. Has 5 year warranty. The front of the case is black & the body is a textured gun metal grey.

I've had 3 of these externals now (2TB, 4TB and now 8TB) and have yet to experience any issues. These have been very reliable. No bloat-ware or garbage apps preinstalled; just an empty storage drive for your files. Not issues with formatting (when needed).

Worked out of the box, and was able to do an Acronis backup on four different Wondows 10 computers. Just connect it and the computer sees an additional hard disk. Have been using WD MY Book external hard disks for years without problems.

No problems visible. Appears to be a quality product. Plugged it into my PC, and used windows back up right away.

I cannot complain for the price at Newegg basically compensates for the intermitent noise running a tad hot. But I'm confident it will be fine. Best deal I've got for a HD. I shopped around and Newegg was by far the best deal and had it in stock. Not even you know who had it in stock.

Great price. Great value. Western Digital reliable name in hardware.

- Fast transfer speeds for and HDD (~215 MB/s) - Ample space for ample libraries (Can store as much as 2,564 DVD DL or 872 single layer BD-R) - Easy Setup (Literally plug and play)

This WD external hard drive is dedicating its 18TB capacity to cell phone photo downloads. Two years worth of accumulated Samsung Galaxy S22-Utra-photos absorbed slightly more than 25GB of disk space, leaving plenty of capacity for future downloads.

Compact, Lite weight. doesn't take up a lot of space.
