Solid Drives
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Easy to install
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Cant beat the value for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Excellent Price for Storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Lots of space!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Plenty of Storage Space. Easy to Install
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

WD RED
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Inside these enclosures are WD Red hard drives. The drives are excellent and can be shucked if you're willing to void your warranty.

Nice drive at a good price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
