    This is the lowest price per terabyte storage solution I found. Ideal for write once read many (WORM). It's fast enough to do most of my archiving and streaming. There is a slight vibration whenever it is on, but as long as you put it in a stable spot it should be quiet because of the rubber feet.

    WD products are simply that. I’m a backup phobe and even with cloud, I want redundancy. Drive is decent size, but hoping WD can take next steps soon for more capacity

    These use untried disks with a notoriously high fail rate which is why they're so cheap but BestBuy will replace them within the return or Geek Squad period or then Western Digital will replace them within the 3 year warranty period. However, don't register these with Western Digital unless & until you need to replace them because the WD registration is nontransferrable. Dont yank the USB cable or power adapter from the hard drive. Unplug the power adapter from whatever external power souurce first. Also, don't drop or hit them nor store next to heat source or in the sunlight

    it works perfectly for my laptop. I'm a photographer and need as much storage space as possible. This definitely gets the job done, backing up everything...and then some.

    I ended up breaking up the packaging and taking the drive out to put into my pc, for some reason at the time this one was cheaper than an internal. works great!

    So far so good. It’s my second easystore drive and this one has proved as “easy” as the last. We’ll see about longevity but my old one is going strong still two years later. XBox One immediately recognized and setup drive including formatting. Very please with purchase thus far.

    Love it and it works well. Can't beat the price for 8T. I have had Seagate Back plus Drive on my desktop with 3 drive failures in 6 months. A piece of junk. This one is great.

    I bought this for 159.99 when it was on sale, which is a really great deal for this drive. The drive inside is an 8 TB Western Digital Red drive, so it's a great product all around.

    I tested this drive out initially and got about 200MB/s Read/Write via USB 3.0. Shucked it open to reveal a white label drive and stuck it into my NAS unit. Works like a charm.
