    has been great so far! I had a couple of bad experiences with WD hard drives but this ones works well as a storage and working hard drive. I do keep it stationary on my desk and it does not move from that space + stays connected to my computer. will be purchasing another one soon. can't beat the price!

    Internal drive is a WD White Label WD80EDAZ. Many videos can be found on YouTube on how to shuck the drive and open the case. Popping the updated case open is exactly like for former version even though the exterior of the case looks a bit updated. Wait for it to go on sale and you can get a great deal.

    This is... I think, my 8th or 9th WD easystore drive. Of the 8TB variety, this is my 6th. These are great for back-ups and storage of large files. I shucked 4 of them and installed them into a NAS. They work great. Not a single hiccup.

    Great drive for Mac Time Machine backup - reformat for Mac using Disk Utility. Really good value for 8TB! Quieter and better value than the other WD 8TB.

    Was able to get this up and running easily with the included quick-start. I'm using it to backup the laptop required for all engineering freshmen at Virginia Tech - if I lost my data or work, i do have an overnight service plan, but it wouldn't restore my data. Every Wednesday night it backs up my hard drive, and now my room-mate is using it as well - there's plenty of space!

    I have bought a number of these and none of them have failed. The key to have reliability is to buy not all at once but at different times and from different retailers. This way you are less likely to get a bunch of faulty doa ones or worse ones that die immediately after the warranty is up.

    Not much to say, it's a wd drive so its usually reliable. One of the main reasons to be buying this drive should be for archival purposes, don't be expecting ssd speeds here. I should elaborate, it's not a slow drive. Speed should be fine for most people's uses.

    Really great way to add capacity without having to deal with opening the computer. Works great and having actual power adapter means you aren't working your power supply to death.
