    This is working very well for me for media storage. While it's not lightening fast, it's more than sufficient to extend my plex setup.

    I bought a few of these WD external drives to be used as backup drives. I've been very happy so far. I've been using WD "My Book" external drives for about ten (10) years and haven't had any issues. After about 3-4 years I replace them just to avoid keeping them too long and maybe eventually failing. Just a precautionary replacement.

    Pretty great but slight drawback

    Would have given it 5 stars but there’s two drawbacks. First is, the need to have it connect to a power source. It’s understandable, but nevertheless a slight nuisance. Second, and major drawback, I’ve recently had issues where it disconnects from my Xbox without having been touched. Have had to hard reset my Xbox every time, unplug and plug back the hard drive, and at least once it didn’t work so had to repeat process

    This external drive is pretty awesome! It uses Western Digital's RED drive line inside which are designed for long life in a constant use scenario. Speed is great, no complaints. When on sale, typically is cheaper then a regular internal 8TB drive. Well worth the money spent on this. Have recommended this drive to friends and family.
