fine for my BIG music (WAV files) collection
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an extensive music collection covering the 50's through the 90's and the music files (especially .wav files when converted) require quite a lot of space. this is my 4th Western Digital (WD) 8 TB drive. Although I believe it's actually TWO 4 TB' drives within a single external drive box), I find that the USB 3speed certainly keeps up with NERO software when copying and I have very few CD failures. In closing, I would not have bought the previous THREE drives if I did not believe in and trust the quality. No one likes to LOSE files accumulated for their hobby !! It dawned on my that I had better state clearly that all the previous 3 WD drives purchased STILL WORK - I just needed more space as my collection grew !!

This is a great NAS drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These drives are great stand alone for back up of files. They are also great for tossing a few of these into a NAS box. I have not had any issues with these and am waiting for them to go on sale again to pick up 2 more. They make 10 and 12 TB sizes now so the 8TB is beginning to become the sweet spot for storage drives.

Easy to use, nice 8TB drive.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed this for a quick backup for a server, 8TB over USB was too slow even with USB 3, but the case pops right open and then I was able to connect the drive to a SATA controller on the machine and backup at SATA speeds. Then just as easily popped the drive back in the case. Decent drive, decent case, fair price.

Great External Hard Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this hard drive as a backup for my system. I've had it for half a year now and I have no complaints. If you get this at a sale price which Best Buy sometimes has, this is a steel.

Good for external storage
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really food price compare to other internal hdd. Some may say its not red label drive, but at this capacity you might expect its quality standard is consistent with red labels.
