Its a hard drive what can I say I put files on it and there still there when I go back to them

I bought 2 of these and they had WD80EDAZ in them. Some people online saysthey run hot and is actually 7200rpm rather than 5400rpm.

What a great addition to our computers. What to do with over 100,000 pictures that uses up our computer hard drive space. With this easy to use external drive, everything was transferred over for easy access. And yes, the computer runs a lot faster now with all of the pictures moved.

I bought this external hard drive during an emergency when my laptop was beginning to fail and I wanted to back up my photos. This unit was plug n play and immediately backed up everything on my laptop. Plenty of room left to put on additional items.

I bought this same external hard drive 2 years ago and it worked flawlessly. So I bought it again. I've had on issue with this drive. No corrupted files of any kind. I highly recommend it for those who have a lot of videos to save.

Bought this 8TB drive to keep up with the ever growing storage needed for gopro & drone video. Doubled my last hard drive & this drive seems faster transferring files to & from so really satisfied of course until this one fills up maybe a 16TB will be out by that time!

easy to use and reliable and does the job! Good external hard drive!

this is my 3rd western digital I have no problem with it so far this is faster than Seagate

I mean it's a hard drive it works great I haven't had any problems it's not loud or anything works great 100% in my book and I got a good deal on it I got it on sale

I purchased this as part of a deal and am using it as an external storage. So far performance is great though a bit noisy at times especially when it starts. Copied a ton of pictures from other drives and it was really quick. Planning to open it and use the drive inside in a NAS.

I typically used these drive (since I found they are usually WD Red or White label Red drives) for my synology NAS. I have 4 running now without issue. I use the WD Diag to fully scan each disk and so far each has been without issue.

Great for the mass storage needs. I use it for backing up all my media. I have a second one to back up all my games from game pass on my xbox. Works great and I only have to download my games once and put them on each xbox

8TB, made sure to even get the red drive version. Not much more I can say except that the temps CAN get a bit high. And I'm talking 50c territory. I wouldn't recommend keeping it on for more than a couple hours at a time. Hope that helps those on the fence. Got it for 160.

Like the 10 TB easystore I bought during the crazy sale in Feb, this one shucked down to WD White drive (specifically, a WD80EMAZ). This one's going straight into my WD My Cloud ex2 Ultra, spanned alongside the 10 TB and backed up to a set of older MyBooks.

I bought this hard drive so I could put more games on my PS4. This worked exactly how I wanted it. When I plug it into my PS4 it asked to format to the PS4 and I allowed it and I now have 16 games saved on my system and not even a TB of space is used.

Have been looking for additional storage for my Xbox 1 day 1. Have a 3tb already but no space, been looking for over a year for the right space and especially price...this nailed it...obviously I'll need more space unless the Xbox X comes with 12tb to start....excellent purchase

Picked this up when it was pretty wickedly on sale, after learning that inside these externals is a WD Red drive, meaning that I basically got an 8TB Red for much less than MSRP on those drives. I have it as a 4TB Time Machine and 4TB "extra storage" drive. No complaints.

1. CrystalDiskMark to check status of the disk. 2. WD Data LifeGuard to do a full write (erase) to the disk. 3. Windows to do a full format 4. WD Data LifeGuard to do a long self test 5. Re-Verify data in Crystal Disk Info to make sure during all that nothing went bad.

Seems slow when you first plug it in. Great price on storeage!

I've bought a few of these drives to use for video servers and for data backup. No on/off button to hit, the drive comes on when computer is on. The drives are very quiet - you can hear a slight hum if you listen up close but they're a very quiet drive overall.
