    When on sale, this is the best value external drive you can buy. Best Buy arranges some serious magic with WD to get these 8TB easystore models priced extremely low at times, with the hard drive mechanism inside worth nearly twice as much. Those bare drives rarely go on sale, which makes these external models very popular. This is no cheap-o hard drive. These are a variant on the 5400 RPM WD Red, designed for 24/7 always-on usage in server systems. So far, mine have been extremely quiet as well. Zero complaints. Keep those WD deals coming, Best Buy!

    I was initially going to use this for my video games but decided to just use it for my computer. No complaints so far, was able to store tons of my photos pretty quickly and the HD isn't too loud at all. It was priced at a great price for 8 TB.

    So far so good. Had to have more storage as three teens and Dad can't come to agreement on what to uninstall. The amount of space for the money seems very reasonable. Install was simple.

    Awesome Deal, WD Red NAS with 256mb cache!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I read up on these and decided I needed this to handle my gaming needs for my Xbox One. Could not pass on that $139.99 price. I missed out on the 4TB Easy Store portable HDD for $79.99 on Black Friday. I've read other reviews and got lucky on getting a WD Red NAS with 256mb cache. Hear these are ideal for NAS use, but I just needed it for my Xbox games library.

    this external has a white label WD drive inside. The particular drive is identically specced to a WD Red label drive and works great in a NAS.

    It's 8TB of space on an external USB 3.0. Can't go wrong with that. So far so good. USB 3.0 makes a huge difference transferring large files.
