Yes/no depending on your needs
I got a 2 x 8T to replace my previous one, one drive of which failed, and apparently, had not been mirroring. The price makes it attractive, and WD has a long reputation -- I've used their drives over the years. Here's the thing, if you know about RAID, how it works, what to expect, etc., this could be great solution if you don't want to spend the BIG money. But, be aware, it comes with no software and no manual. So your first task will be to search for those. The user manual on the WD website is OLD (the list of operating system compatibility ends at Window 8 (pre 2015) and Mac OS Mavericks (2013)) and the manual references obsolete WD software to manage your drives (WD SmartWare). So, you are on your own unless you already know what you need to do. So, this might suit you, otherwise, be prepared to educate yourself. BTW, WD support never replied to my support request.

Best external drive, speed and usability...
I can not say enough. I bought this drive and am very happy. It performs very well and without issue. The speed is comparable to having the drives internal to my pc. Never have I found that. I get the same speed regardless of the connector or cable I have used. It is roughly 200MB/s. The USB hub feature works great. Just remember to have the main drive recognized before you connect your external drives. The software, everything is top notch. Came with two RED NAS drives with the 256MB cache made in Thailand. It is a newer RAID software so it did not accept a WD RAID built in another WD device. That was not expected.
