Nice hard drive, 8b allows me to store a lot of games on it.

My drive was DOA. I tested on multiple computers and had I/O errors and could not initialize it. Not sure I want to take a chance on another one.

Bought brand new right out of box into computer didn’t work. Heard clicking sound called geek squad they sent someone out he said it does not work so I do not recommend.

Although this drive was recognized by my computer, it would not initialize and format utilizing windows disk management. I discussed the failure to initialize with WD support. I was required to send a photo of the already installed drive even though I had the serial # from the box, before they would give advice on the installation. They were helpful thereafter and indicated that it was a bad drive and suggested returning it to Best Buy which I did. I purchased a Toshiba X300 8TB and it installed and formatted on the same computer with the same cables with no problems.

This drive is fast and quiet. An excellent drive for the price.

Has worked well and was a good replacement for my dead drives. I appreciate the good space options for this and might buy another one for my second hard drive.

1st drive clicks every 5 seconds. It is strong enough to feel the vibration through the case. Sent back under warranty and received a new one. 2nd drive. Still clicks every 5 seconds....Read about it and seems like it is the "normal" function of the drive due to their WLT (wear-leveling technology). Now that I have done the RMA and am past the date they will not take it back. They said they pushed my case to "priority" and I would hear back within 3 days. So far it has been over 8 and no response through email or calls. I won't ever buy a WD product again

it works great but it is only 8T if you are useing the right format on you PC

I’m buy this 4 t hard drive last 4 months ago  but this stuff make so much noise. Every single time is so noisy maybe next time I chose a different brand not recommend
