    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.

    I have used WD hard drives for many years and they have never failed me. This drive is great to use to back up volumes of data, pictures, movies, etc. I bought 3 and use one for laptop back up, 1 each on Xbox X game systems. I have stored 6 TB of games on 1 and they run just as fast off the external drive as they do off internal drive. Superb value.

    I bought this for additional storage and couldn't beat the price at the time. Works great but it took me a while to realize that it's an Energy Star type unit. It will shut down to conserve power when not being used. When you access the drive after not using it for a period of time, the unit takes about twenty to thirty seconds to power back up.

    Huge amount of disk space for simple plug and play

    Great buy. 8TB is a huge amount of disk space. Very simple plug and play operation that comes with back-up software. You don't have to use the back-up software if just looking for additional storage capacity. Product is very small in size so it doesn't take up much space. Electric Cord is long so it can be placed away from the computer if needed.
