When I want a backup drive that will not die out, I select Western Digital. Reds are always good.

This hard drive has excellent speed via usb 3.0 interface. I use it as an archive drive. It scares me a little storing so much information on one drive so Ill soon be buying another to duplicate all of my files in the event of failure. So far, so great!!!!

Got it for a great deal and shucked it. Decent hard drive expansion

This hard drive backbup my 4 other small hard drive file, photo, video and music files.

Good large-capacity storage unit that allows for transport when necessary but not easily lost.

I always use Western Digital for all my Data Storage... This one delivers just like the others.. I bought it on sale for 140 plus tax on sale. I regret not buying another one because it went back up to 200 plus tax.. I would buy another and highly recommend this external HD!!!

I've purchased a few external HDs in the past, and most don't come with the necessary cables to hook up with a laptop or gaming system. I'm happy to report all the necessary cables come with this external hard drive, and I was able to quite easily link it to my Xbox

I bought this drive on sale (I believe it was a "Deal of the Day"), and have been very pleased with it. The only thing you have to watch for is when you don't access it for a few minutes, it seems to "shut off" and takes a few seconds to spin back up.

An excellent value for this much money - I purchased 8 of them, shucked the covers off of them to get the bare drives out and all 8 drives are now in a RAID-6 in my Dell PowerEdge R515 server. All are Western Digital white label EMAZ drives.

I just bought this to shuck it. Before buying an internal drive, get on youtube and learn how to manipulate these to make an internal drive You'll save 50 dollars or more and get the same, sometimes even better quality drive.

I purchased 3 of these. One for myself and 2 for Christmas gifts. I have used mine and have found it easy to use. I have always depended WD products to cover my needs, so hopefully this will not disappoint as time goes on.

Using as time machine working good so far !!! This is my fifth hard drive from WD

Great sale for a great fast drive. Wished it had Thunderbolt, but USB 3.0 is fast as well.

Western Digital is the brand you can trust for storage. It's not a blazing fast but adequate for my backup needs. The built-in backup and restore program is very easy to use and navigate.

I'm using this to back up my music, pictures and video. Works as designed. No issues experienced.

Haven't had it long but it works for now so we will see how it goes...

As part of the holiday sales my local best buy had a 8tb Drive on sale for ~$130. When I got there I searched and picked up a WD 8TB assuming it was the advertised Drive, but it wasn't. This one didn't come with free cloud storage as did the advertised one, and it cost $30 more. When I went to customer service to see if they could match the advertised price I was told that they couldn't, and wouldn't. I bought it anyway.

I do have a tons of storage of movie and game. I bought many as this is cheap if you just want to use it as storage, it work fine for transfer, not any faster like an SSD but for the price, it is worth it. The transfer rate is like 100MB/s so not bad.

Easy to use does not take up lots of space. Has lots of room and plenty to last a long time.

Great product! I've used this previously and it works as expected.
