    Easy to install, provides more than enough storage for my present needs, but I remember thinking when I bought my first 100 meg drive how I would never fill it.

    My 8TB Easystore is not blazing fast, or I'd have given it 5 stars... but, honestly, I did not expect it to be. Just functional and reliable. So far, it has been that. It was a good value, and I'm still happy with it.

    8TB for $140 on sale, what can I say? Hard to find storage for cheaper per TB, and the external functionality works flawlessly.

    Best hard drives on the market bar none. I use this as a backup and have never had a problem. Had used seagate drives in the past but had way to many failures.

    If you do not need or have a NAS at the moment, I would still recommend buying this and use the Red drive inside. Buy 3 or more and get the best of Red drives.

    I don't have the time or desire to "fool with" tech that is supposed to be making my life easier. This drive fit that need. Plugged it into my laptop and it worked. Best of all, months later it is still working.

    It's a very large hard drive with USB 3.0 speeds. I use it to back up large files for temporary storage. (Temporary storage because I don't trust these types of storage that much. I'd rather be using an SSD but they are too expensive)

    One of the best 8 TB drives you can get. Verified to have the "Red NAS" model that is highly sought after. Very reliable, suited for heavy duty 24/7 use.
