    Purchased two of these on sale. The two I purchased both had WD 8tb Red drives inside. They are 5400RPM with 256gb cache. Shucked and placed in my media server. Great price at $159 for a bare drive that retails for $285.

    These and the 10TB drives are great. You can often get these on sale and they are ideal to shuck and then placed in a NAS for backups. At this size the average person could backup multiple computers

    I give this a five star. I didn’t end up keeping it in its enclosure. Took the hdd out and added it internally to my desktop. Using it as a server pc. Well worth the price.

    Awesome when on sale. People say these have NAS drives inside, but as long as it's under warranty I am not going to mess with it. I am using as USB only and it works great for offline storage.

    These are immensely popular because they contain a high quality drive. Like most other external drives, they do tend to run hot due to poor ventilation, so it wouldn't hurt to use a fan to keep it cool.

    I bought this machine for my own use and pleasure. The store said I could accumulate 'reward points', without mentioning that I had to then praise them for selling me something. So it works, as expected, end of story.

    I got this to backup my computers and it works well. Right now it only does not backup files windows has open all the time. It is backing up all my data fine. It was cheaper than buying the hard drive by itself.
