    These 8 TB WD drives are solid, reliable and fast for Spiny drives. The drive inside is basically a WD Red 8 TB and it's a great value.

    Got this hard drive for work. I needed something to backup some large digital xray files. This is my 3rd WD drive and I love them. You just plug it in and the software automatically loads. 8TB is about as much storage as I'll ever need. Great drive.

    Love the ease of set up and tons of storage for storing files and picture take and scanned over the years. Designed with ease of handling in mind.

    8TB is a lot of space. If this ever goes on sale make sure you get it ASAP. It runs quietly and the black polished case makes it blend in.

    8tb is a nice size to hold lots of files and clean up your drives. The test of time will tell how reliable it is so we shall see, but so far awesome.

    This unit is excellent for the price. It is easy to set up and use. Makes a little bit more noise than a portable hard drive and is always on, but a great product overall. Would like to see an standby feature be implemented so it's not running 24 hrs a day.

    Great drive. Huge capacity, excellent reliability, and good price. If you are handy, you can carefully shuck the drive and use it in an NAS.

    Hard drives are working as expected my only complaint is that the drives get a little warm in the provided enclosure. I'm glad I picked these up before the prices sky rocketed.

    It is certainly plenty big enough for most applications. And although the larger size means some reduction in seek time, it is adequate for most applications - certainly if using for back-up or archiving. Connecting and installing is simple and easy.

    Nice external drive for $175. It would be faster if it was 3.1, but I am getting about 200MB/sec out of it. Not being powered from USB is a plus, especially if you got a bunch of external drives. Like all the WD products I have experienced, it is well made and should last a long time.
