I BOUGHT IT TO STORE MY PICTURES AND ITS DOING IT. THEY WERE BEING STORED ON THE CLOUD, BUT THATS NO LONGER POSSIBLE. THANK YOU WESTERN DIGITAL AND BEST BUY

bought a bunch of these for a Synology NAS. After 14 months of daily heavy usage I have no issues at all! Would buy again

The item does everything that I expected it to do. I’m using it daily here and I know it works fine.

This drive is well suited for backup of critical files as well as long term storage of data. It isn't the fastest USB 3.0 drive but has delivered read speeds between 150 and 200 MB on my setup.

A great way to back up all of your data. Can't go wrong with Western Digital

Excellent deal on a Best Buy exclusive. I was able to recycle a failed SSD at Best Buy in exchange for a discount on this HDD. I am using this HDD for storing Chia plots.

Needed a consolidated storage option for several computers. Typical WD quality at a great sale price from Best Buy!

That was a great buy for an amazing disk. It is quite and does it job and provide huge capacity for a very attractive price (bought it under black Friday deals).

I liked the style, and the speed of the data, compatible with my MacBook Pro laptop

This is a nice, compact drive with a lot of capacity in a small space. If using it with a Mac, however, it's necessary to erase and reformat it with Disk Utility in order to make it work.

I have had it a few weeks and it is just works so far. It is being used to backup another computer and has worked great for that purpose.

Easy Data expansion also at cheap cost, at difference of their brothers/sister SanDisk Professionals.

It has helium drive inside which run way cooler than normal drive I have from last couple of years. Speed is ok and runs very silent compare of my older WD drives.

The drive works great. I'm using it as a network drive for movies and so far working very well. Migrated about 8TB to it, much faster than my 2 4TB drives

It works as expected and it is one of my main backups for archiving files

So far it does exactly what it is supposed to do I hope this doesn’t jinx it

Bought this monitor for a Christmas present for our brother and he is really enjoying it. He utilizes the gaming functions between the mouse and his other computer devices.

The product works well, I wish that it was an SSD but HDD is fine

The price I paid was great for this harddrive. So far no issue. This one can be taken apart and be converted to an internal but it will void your warranty if you decide to do that.

Need to upgrade the HDD in my HAS. It was on sale before Christmas with a great price. Shucked the case and extract the HDD. It is a white labeled version but worked without any problem. Running temp in Raid 5 is 45-48 degree C. About 10 degree C higher than the 8TB. A bit hot but probably due to its capacity and running continuously. Hopefully it will be long lasting as other WD drives (Unlike Seagate, all of my previous WD drivers from 2TB to 8TB are still working).
