Today-Only Deal - Western Digital 8TB HDD For Cheap

With files taking up more space today than ever before, it’s easy to run out of storage just a few months after buying a new PC, laptop, or gaming console. And if you’re one of the millions of folks using a laptop with a 256-512GB SSD, you’ll bump up against its limitations faster than you’d expect. However, you can solve many of these problems with the discounted WD easystore 8TB External HDD, which is currently on sale today only for just $128 (down from $170).

WD easystore 8TB External HDD

$128 (was $170)

The average user will find one or two terabytes to be more than enough for their storage needs, but gamers can always use more. This 8TB behemoth should all but guarantee that you never run out of space again. It even comes with a two-year warranty for added peace of mind, along with a simple USB 3.0 interface that makes connections a breeze.

While the 8TB of storage space is the big selling point, WD also managed to make the easystore a pretty sleek device--featuring a minimalist black color scheme and rounded design that looks a bit like a mini PC tower. Best of all, it’s earning impressive reviews from customers, with 4.7 stars after nearly 7,000 ratings.

Of course, this isn’t an SSD, so expect it to run a bit slower than your built-in drive. But as a place to store photos, videos, or older games you don’t play frequently, it’s an enticing option. And if you (somehow) need even more space, consider checking out the 14TB model that’s also on sale.

Keep in mind that you can use this hard drive to boot games on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. You can also store your PS5 and Xbox Series X|S games on it, but you'll have to transfer them to your console in order to play them.

If you need a more convenient storage solution for Xbox Series X|S or PS5, there are some good options. Western Digital just launched an expansion card for Xbox Series X|S, and the PS5 has an M.2 slot for NVMe SSDs like this steeply discounted Western Digital model.
