    I didn't want to buy this originally, I only did so because I needed to do a large file copy quickly. I ended up finding a lot more uses for it, now I use it daily. Very nice hard drive!

    These drives are white label Ultrastars inside. I shucked mine to use in my PC. The only issue I have is that it does spin down despite setting Power management to 'Never spin down' drives. WD Green drives behave this way also.

    Using this as a staging area for a modded OG xbox drive. Serves it's purpose although an internal drive would make the file transfers faster. Overall very pleased.

    It works exactly as expected. I love that it has 2 additional USB ports to charge with. TBH I haven't tried them but they will be useful in the near future and a feature you don't usually get with a hard drive.

    Initial problem with booting laptop because it was formatted for window AND Apple compatibility. Laptop hung during boot and bios options didn't help. Reformatted as NTFS and problem fixed.

    Other than the fact you truly don't get eight tb, I have no complaints. Because of the way some companies calculate terabytes, Western Digital being one, this 8tb drive has more like 7.5tb of available space (also the data needed for administration of the drive takes up room). Hey WD, a terabyte is 1024gb NOT 1000gb!

    Performs as promised. However, it slows down significantly when it's at 50% capacity. Overall, a superb value at the price point.

    Our stream video in this drive is excellent for doing that. 7200 RPM no lag. Can stream video all over the house coming from the hard drive with no hiccups. Love it so much I bought too.
