love, I always buy this brand when it comes to HD. It works great and I have never had a issue

Easy to setup and use. Appreciated the employee who helped me and easy to check out.

On and running out of the box, Good amount of space at a great price point. Using for my system backups. I think it’s on the slower side and that’s what you should expect from a spinning drive but for backup not a problem at all. Would recommend!!!

I bought this on sale on Black Friday for $150.00 and you can not beat it! This is still the one with a WD Red drive in it and it runs great in the enclosure it is in. My original plan was to take it apart but I am able to place it in a well ventilated area so I left it alone... The WD Red drive that is in this thing on it's own costs around $220.00 so it's a freaking steal!

Works as expected. Connected it to my PC, and it was recognized immediately. Easy plug-and-play, drag-and-drop solution for extra/portable storage.

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!

This is one of many great products from WD. Easy to use. No need for any apps to download(there optional). Just plug in and it good to use. However it is just a bit expensive.

Plenty of space and for a good price ( door buster deal ) can't beat that

Great product. Easy to use. I hooked it up to a Linux box without any issues. You'd be crazy not to have your own backup right there on your desk.

Great for the price point would recommend to others

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.

I needed this to store large files such as movies, I have more movies than I could ever find time to watch and still have Terrabytes to spare. I also back up my 1TB internal hard drive in case of a crash. I'm not a gamer but this would work for them as well.

I have not purchased 3 of these and am still very please with the size and speed of them. I did by a USB-C connector cable and I can move large files with ease. This is the most expensive one I have paid for of the 3 in my Opinion it still worth the price for Secure backup of my data.

Works great and you can't beat the price! 10/10 Would definitely recommend!

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!

I needed this drive for a project (a large scale database) where the drive would take quite a thrashing, continually being read and written to over the course of several days. Not only was the price right, but I normally use enterprise grade drives and I have to say, I was surprised at how well this drive managed. It managed not to get hot at all, despite the load I as subjecting it to. I've had other drives that got so hot, that they would actually burn to the touch! If your intent is to use this for the home to store movies, perform backups, or what ever occasional needs large storage needs you might have, you really can't go wrong with this drive. If you need something for work that will see moderate to heavy use, you should consider this drive as I can assure you very few applications will subject it to the load I put mine through.

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.

Great External hard drive, I'll save all my pictures here. No issues found on this HD.

There’s no real reason this product exists, there are cheaper ways to get a backup drive and use it with a computer, but these are convenient, dependable and reasonably priced. I bought this one to do a mega consolidation of everything I have on many different media, except for my photography

Great device and lots of storage. Very reliable drive in this package.
