I can store so many music files in this drive, however, I use it to store 8K pictures of various restaurant appetizers, most of the drive is filled with mozzy sticks. If you need any recipes, find them in recipe books!

I purchased this hard drive as a gift for my son to use as an external drive with his PS4. I have purchased other WD external drives and they have worked great.

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.

This was a great buy. The price was also something I couldn't pass up. Excellent for photos, music, documents and so much more. I don't have to ever worry about losing my data when its being backed up by such a great product.

Quality I have come to expect from WD. Could not have been any easier to add storage to my desktop. Just plug it in and partition if desired.

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!!!

Just Plug and play. Very easy install. Big space. Will hold tons of pictures.

I like that it has 8 TB for a full backups of several of our systems but it makes a lot of noise and sounds clunking in the background while it's reading/writing. Not sure if this is normal. Our other WD products are quiet. Have to dismount it from auto backup because it is so noisy and loud. Then re-engage when needed. Not ideal since remembering to do so could be overlooked.

I needed a much larger drive for my movie server. This was an awesome price.

Very easy to install/get set up for massive storage availability... perfect!

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.

Very clean Very quiet Appropriate speed Easy interface affordable price

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!

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!

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

put it on my new computer and share it on my network! great for backing up data! I have lots of photos using it for genealogy work!

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!

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.

Item works good I recommend this item to save as a backup

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