Excellent external Hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This WD 8 TB external hard drive was trouble free with zero installation or compatibility issues with my Win7Pro computer. Simply plug in the included power cable and included USB 3.0 cable and go. Plenty fast and I was able to backup all my digital photos with ease. I'm only giving this drive four out of five stars because the price jumped back up. When this thing goes on sale jump on it.

Great External Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this drive after much research. After about a month in use, I found this drive to work great. The spin up time is a little slower than some other drives, but the transfer speed appears to be noticeably higher as well. These contain WD Red Drives.

Worked as expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked exactly as expected. Just plug it in and it is available, with USB 3.0 speeds. About 10x faster than USB 2. Needed to copy data to it, to ship out to a data recovery company. Worked great for our intended use.

Great buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product was a much better purchase then the WD with the password protected. This one is not password-protected so the connection is not lost and have to be reestablished like the WD One I previously bought that does have password protection
