    Purchased this product because of the amount of TB. I am not disappointed, and I can keep as much files and documents on this product and frees up space on my laptop

    These drives are very fast--I'm getting about 150MBPS in transfers between 2 of them. They're also WD Red drives, so they should be quite reliable in most situations. :)

    WD isn't what they used to be

    I bought it in January to replace a WD drive that was about 4 years old - my drives usually make it about 5 years or so. Got a MyBook and it died in 3 days. I shrugged with a "manufacturing defects happen" thought. I went to the store to return and repurchase and I noticed that this one was discounted... and was still WD - "the best brand out there" - so I jumped on it! Worked GREAT, so I budgeted to afford another full-price one at the 6-month mark, to have a mirror of this drive. At the 4 month mark it just... died. I was in the middle of reading a muti-TB file and... poof. It went very quiet, made a few clicks, then quiet... and that was the end of 6TB of my data going back to the late 90s. Thankfully I (mostly) have my previous drive's data, and some stuff in the cloud. The one thing I don't have anymore: confidence in Western Digital products. They bit me twice in a row so they're done accessing my wallet.

    This contains an 8TB red drive inside, which is a very good and durable hard drive. I've purchased several of these and they all work great with absolutely no problems.

    Makes a great external USB 3.0 drive or you can shuck the internal drive for use in a NAS. Either way this Red drive is tried and true and should last you a long time.

    The WD Easystore 8TB is an excellent HDD. Drive runs quiet and kool. Great price for 8TBs of storage. Bonus is you may get a WD Red drive. I highly recommend this HDD.

    This was purchased for an Xbox One that had yet again run out of space. This worked out great. I’d definitely buy another one.
