    This is an 8TB drive. It can store a lot of data and a good drive for backing up your computer. It comes with Western Digital software including backup software.

    This is the third one I purchased from BBY and it is very hard to let it go with this price. Connected to the xbox one and works just fine. A lot of room for gaming and videos.

    Bought this to store important photos and files and I didn't even start to fill it. It also allows you to access files and photos quickly so it works really well.

    This had a WD White Label EDAZ air filled drive. I was skeptical of the temperatures since I heard the air drives ran hotter than the helium filled ones. When I tested it with WD DLG it did get hotter than my other drives but once I shucked it and put it in the server where there was better airflow it cooled right down. As of right now it is running the same temp as my 8TB EMAZ's and EFAX's, about 35C at idle. So far, so good.

    I bought this to replace my 1TB External for my Xbox One. I wanted a 5 Tb but Best Buy has no in-store purchase options for that, so I got the extra 3 TB. Works perfect with my One.

    Western Digital always has been good for me. I tried another brand and it did not last as long as my other Western Digitals.

    I fill up hard drives like water glasses. WD drives seems to last the longest for me and this one is working so far nice with two partitions in it on my iMac.

    Needed a new hard drive for storage and for the amount of space and the price range, I say it's a match made in heaven. Reformatted so that it can be used on both Mac and PC.

    Was looking for a single-drive storage solution. For the price, this was terrific. There may be faster options out there, but if you just need raw storage, this is a good choice.

    I havent had a problem out of this one at all. It does what it needs to in the background without any maintenance at all. Only thing is if it's in your view you'll see the white light blinking when its reading data but that's not a problem for me.
