    I absolutely love these Easystore drives of ANY size. The 8TB is a sweet spot for those that need a bunch of extra storage, but nothing too crazy. Best Buy sells this as a GREAT price if you stick around and watch. I highly recommend these drives. Beautiful, slick, small physical size with a HUGE internal storage capacity. Highly recommend.

    I was looking for additional back-up storage. I purchased the WD easystore 8TB Plug and Play Desktop back-up unit. My Linksys router has the USB port to allow the connection of storage that can then be shared across the network. I attached this drive to the router and set up the shares. This unit can also be used as a Media server. Files and Folders can be password protected. I would recommend this for a solid back-up solution.

    This external hard drive works well and is easy to use. Although the first time I brought my computer to Best Buy for them to back it up, they didn't actually do it and the hard drive was empty when I got home. I brought my computer back a second time and that time they actually backed it up.

    Great Hard Drive

    I remember paying over $500 for a 64Mb hard drive and now I got this 8Tb drive for under $180. The setup was easy although I had to reformat it to use on my Mac. It runs fast and I'm able to use it as a backup for my other drives connected to my computer. I've never had a bad WD drive but have had many drives from another brand (starts with an S) go bad and I've lost lots of data. WD makes quality equipment at a great price.

    Hard Drive Crashed

    Have you ever had a Hard Drive you had everything on, when it just quit working? And you had no backup? How'd you feel? Well, this is my "Back-up" to my "Back-up" to my "Back-Up." I never want that to happen again. Research says WD is a good brand and the price was right.

    This is my second WD 8TB drive. The last drive used the 2.0 and after upgrading my tower I wanted the speed of the 3.0 transfer rate. Just like the older model, this one is what I always expect from WD. Zooom.
