    Great drive, especially when on sale. Used WD Drive Utilities to test the drives and had no problems. Good speed.

    For an 8 TB is fast...once it gets running. Don't expect instant gratification it won't happen.

    Excellent External Drive for Home Use

    This is an excellent external drive for home use. The drive inside the one I purchased in April 2017 is a WD80EFZX which is the WD Red line. These drives are 5,400 RPM so they aren't extremely quick but they are good for home use especially when connected through USB 3.0.

    Reds inside

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I only buy these when they go on sale and I shuck them for use in my NAS. The first couple I got a few months back were "white label" drives but performed similar to Reds. I bought six during this sale and they were all actual Reds, and as expected, they scream. Obviously this violates my warranty but at essentially half the price of a non-external Red, I can afford to buy a couple of spares.

    While not the fastest 3.1 or 3.2 USB, it can transfer around 93MB-S so for an external drive not too bad...

    great external HD. 8TB is a lot of space. It's a good external back up to my Synology NAS. It can be a little bit loud when it's processing large amount of data.

    Be sure to look online to see if it has a WD Red or White inside. The red can be installed without any problems if you are comfortable with voiding the warranty.
