thanks for your contribution!
We already have an open ticket to add the disk:

"-d sat" is now the default in drivedb.h
{ "USB: Western Digital; ",
"0x1058:0x....",
"",
"",
"-d sat"
},
Concerning a new entry on https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices
> Comment: Easystore reportedly only available at BestBuy
I also found this statement
"The Western Digital (WD) Easystore 8TB is an external hard drive sold exclusively by Best Buy. It's sought after by many /r/datahoarder folks
because it often (but not always) contains a WD Red 8TB drive which can be "shucked" and used in a home server among other similarly shucked Easystore drives."

Mr. Gowdy has not added the device upon your CC
http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
You only sent an excerpt of the smartctl report
and it contains a warning:

Because of all these things I hesitate to add an entry
for this device in our wiki page about supported USB Devices.
@Christian: what's your opinion?
fyi and kind regards,
