Product Manuals
A: To follow up on my previous response; I received the drives I ordered yesterday, (Friday, 11/10/17) and cracked them open to find some similarities and differences in comparing them to the 8TB Easystore drives I bought this spring and summer. Differences: 1. The packaging now has a Holiday offer on it, so presumably this is not excess Inventory from the summer that they are trying to unload. In a bright yellow circle on the front "HOLIDAY OFFER 250GB CLOUD STORAGE ". If your drive has this, I would take an educated guess that it is a similar drive to what is described here and NOT the drives from the summer. 2. The drive ID is WD80EMAZ. 3. This is NOT a Red labeled drive. Specifically the sticker is all white. (google image search the ID to see examples) The models I cracked out of the EZStore in the spring were WD80EFZX and this summer were WD80EFAX. WD = Western Digital 80 = 8TB Capacity EF = Red Series ZX = 128Mb Cache AX = 256Mb Cache Similarities: 1. Like the FAX it has 256Mb Cache 2. Like the FAX it uses firmware 83.HOA83 firmware. I see this through my Synology DSM Storage Manager app. I do not have access to look at the fw of the FZX My best guess is that the WD80EMAZ is a re-labeled Red drive and the EM means Mobile. The most important things for me are the same, and the differences are just in the label. YMMV.
Q: Can I get this for my boys to use with their ps4
A: Yes, you can. I will work like a charm! I am using one.
Q: what's the difference between WD WDBCKA0080HBK-NEBB and WDBCKA0080HBK-NESN
A: WD WDBCKA0080HBK-NEBB has a white labeled WD80EMAZ inside WDBCKA0080HBK-NESN has a red lebeled WD80EFAX Both should have 256 mb cache, both should be maid in Thailand.
Q: How many hard drives in it? If there are 2 drives, can it be set as 4GB (2 mirror drives) in RAID?
A: One drive
A: It showed as sold out online when I purchased it. I still clicked on it to get more info and it was available for in-store pickup maybe there are still some available at a store near you.
A: Internally it is a white labeled re-badged WD red drive 256mb caches and with TLER support.However, I have read some people shucked and had Red drives inside. Also, I have heard there was some issue with certain NAS systems.
Q: will this work on windows7 64bit Western digital 8TB external3.0 Hard Drivr
A: Yes, it certainly will.
Q: Will this work on my Xbox One?
A: Yup. I use it as storage on my xbox one x.
