MUST HAVE
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a must have for anyone running out of room on their xbox one. Very easy to setup. Turn on your xbox first and have it to main screen before you plug in your external drive because thats when you see the options of how you want to setup the drive. Catch it on sale if your able cause thats how I was able to get this great device. Major help with my growing collection of games.

Great Hard Drive With Western Digital Red Inside
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cracked this guy open and took out the drive and put it in a Drobo (NAS). There is a Western Digital Red drive inside which are great for a NAS. The drive was much cheaper to get this way than it was to buy directly. I also used the enclosure with my sister's old hard drive to her old computer so she could pull off the files she cared about. Great drive, still going strong!

It works, what more do you need?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great as a NAS drive attached to my nighthawk router. IT's reasonably quiet, not bright, and the network storage means I can access whatever I put on it, pretty much anywhere in the house (or with some VPN foolery, anywhere in the world.)

easy to use and cheap for peace of mind
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredibly easy to use. I don't use the WD software, I just drag and drop because I am very particular about file paths, but for the peace of mind having all of my files, computers, and images backed up, this is a great price. It feels more well built than the other portable drives you can get. Faster speeds thanks to being powered.

Simple HDD, great capacity and deal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this HDD on sale, the price for 8TB at the time was a bargain. I have the 4TB version and it functions just the same. It does have some WD software to assist with backups but I simply handle my data manually. Writing to the HDD isn't too bad, I can usually get 80 MB/s on most transfers. Mine are used for archiving data, so I don't access them too often.
