    So once I learned from some searching that the WD red drives are installed in the mybook, and confirmed that fact with the some smartctl magic, i was a happy camper.

    I bought this for backing-up audio record files. So far, WD 8TB HDD has shown the reliable performance and stability. I would recommend this for backup storage.

    Needed additional storage on my Xbox, was able to copy content from one console to the new one. It's working great and tons of room for new content.

    This was a good value. I feel it's important to have your data backed up because you never know when your hard drive will crash.

    I bought a few of these a few years ago, they are all still performing well. In that same time I had a few seagate go bad, so I'm sticking with WD.

    I love the WD hard drives, they are so easy to just plug in, move your stuff over and simply store it. Plus BB had a sale so it was worth it at under 200

    I have bought several of these drives, then carefully extracted the internal 8TB (WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0 ) drive for use in my Synology DS918+ NAS. Works great.

    I had to perform a secondary backup for the primary. So it is a backup for a backup. This external performed the backup exceptionally and I just had to buy another.

    These come with WD Red drives inside, when they are on sale they are an incredible deal, either for USB storage or cracking 'em and using them for your NAS storage needs.

    I rarely have any issues with any WD hard drives . I write zeros to the whole drive a couple times to make sure it does not fail prematurely.
