    This thing works as expected. I bought it to store my massive amount of photos and videos. It serves that purpose just fine. No issues at all after 2 weeks.

    On sale for $130 each. Shucked them and put into Synology NAS. Virtually identical to WD Red drives at almost 2X the cost. Ran extensive testing. Works GREAT !!!

    There's plenty of storage to keep everything stored and backed up. It's a bit bulky to work with, and strangely this one is not as fast as couple other drives I have of the exact same type and model. The actual hard drive inside these models might vary, so it's a hit-or-miss.

    I bought this for the X0X and I don't expect to ever have to buy additional hard drive space within the next 20 years. If I do I'll go buy another one of these 8 terabytes.

    Good 8TB Storage has independent power source-not usb that puts less demand on your computer. However between usages it does require a few seconds to spin up and ready.

    My only wish I waited a couple days and would have purchased the 10TB for only $10 more. Drive works as expected, should be able to save years worth of back-ups.
