No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Western Digital Team
Posted .Hello JKayy, We're sorry to hear that the drive did not meet your expectations. That's certainly not the experience we aim for. We understand how frustrating that can be. We would like the chance to make it right. Please reach out to our support team by opening a ticket at (https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb) so we can look into it and explore a possible replacement (if needed) or a solution for you. Thank you for your patience.

Great purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tons of backup space for photos and music and whatever. Plus, and more importantly, it's fast. I've run it as a network drive and as a USB drive directly attached to a PC. In both configurations, I get good read and write speeds. 8 TB is a lot of space. Can't beat it for speed and storage.
I would recommend this to a friend So far so good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just needed to upgrade my memory from 4TB. WD has always been a good product and this is no different.
I would recommend this to a friendAwesome Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought a bunch of these drives for a really good price. Was able to pull from the enclosure and put them in a NAS enclosure. They were ALL Western Digital Red Drives 5400RPM with 256MB Cache.

Great External Hard Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was actually looking for an internal hard drive when I stumbled on this. I did research and found that I was able to shuck it (open the plastic shell) and get a brand new 8tb hard drive. I believe I purchased this item for $150 and it is one of the best storage per dollar I have invested.
I would recommend this to a friend A great External drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up and great value for money. Another solid product from WD.
I would recommend this to a friendVery good price for a lot of storage.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice unit and I'd probably buy another one but much of the advertised memory capacity is taken up by overhead.

Ton of storage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using attached to my router for storing videos and music for Plex and Kodi. Purchased on sale for $130. Good bargain at that price. I was reaching the limit of the 4TB version, This should give some breathing room. I've had it online for about a month with no problems.
I would recommend this to a friend Great drive...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.... at a very reasonable price. Does not have the security features the other two WD external drive series have, but that was not a critical factor for me. I’m very pleased with the drive.

excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really great deal for 8 tb. I paid $139 for this. I was a bit bummed because not even 24 hours before i purchased this, i saw a notification that there was a 10 tb for $179 with a thumb drive. When i got to the store, there was no such thing. Either way i'm still ok with this.
I would recommend this to a friend Good drive

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got it when it went on sale. It's a keeper. Hopefully by the time I run out of space again a 16TB will be out and at the same price as this one

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 2nd purchase and so far I'm loving it , the speeds are accurate, the design could of been better, it's not loud , this is my 37th hard drive so I'm pretty addictive to storage.

Great HD with a great internal drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this HD on sale for $160 to store movies for a media server. Confirmed a WD80EFAX in a Made In Thailand unit, 7SGX9***. For those that don't know, that is a WD Red 8TB that usually runs for $260 put in an external HD package. Bought this unit off the shelf 02/18/2018. Great buy.

Great storage capacity for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got mine for 150, got one for all my devices so you could say I recommend them. But I will point out that I am unsure if they stand the test of time as it is new and storage wears out over time but how much time does remain to be seen. But overall for the price I couldn't pass this up.
