    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.

    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.

    I use this easy store for all my thousands of photos and backups of my computer. It was semi-easy to install and set up for weekly back up and for transferring directly from my memory card to the easy store my photos' from each and every vacation we have taken. We keep two back ups of all our photos and this did the trick....

    The Universe on a Disk

    Purchased at a discount, I got this drive for about $20 per terrabyte. I am an older person, and I got into the personal computer revolution way back when it started. Does anybody remember the Epson QX-10? Anyway, 8 terrabyte drive for backups, this is an important addition to my computer system(s). Works flawlessly, quietly. My only complaint is an odd one about cosmetics. I wish they didn't encase the drive in a hard plastic that appears to attract every dust particle in the house. To get back to the "clean black look" I have to wipe it down every other day. Here in Bend, OR where summer wildfires have been nearby, whenever we opened with windows to let in some fresh, albeit smokey, air, all of a sudden I got a very dusty drive. That cant' be good for its innards over the long haul.

    Needed an external storage solution to backup data that was to be deleted and this handled it painlessly and with room left over for future use cases.

    Lots of storage space and works great with my Xbox Series X. Only downside is newer games will not play from it unless they are moved to internal storage. Not a drive problem, but an Xbox problem. Still great storage for the price.

    Setup of the hardware was very easy. The new software called Acronis used to create backups is a bit hard to get exactly the way you want it. For example I need to backup 2 terabytes and because of the way it does full and incremental backups I filled all 8 terabytes of the drive up because it was creating multiple full backups without deleting the old ones first.
