    Good product. So far no issues with the item. Too much space is not a bad thing.

    Purchase all your WD easystore products at bestbuy. They have great prices and they do go on sale many times throughout the year. USB3.0 will transfer at around 150KB a second for speedy transfers.

    The WD 8TB USB HD is an excellent choice when looking for more storage for your PC, PS4 and/or XBOX. I have not experienced any issues with slow speeds or connectivity. I highly recommend this product.

    I use this with my mac. I had no problem reformatting it to the several partitions of different disk formats that I needed. It is fast and has worked perfectly making backups of files from both Linux and my mac.

    When these are on sale, it's the best deal you can get currently. The drive inside is excellent quality unlike a lot of other external drives. It's essentially a NAS rated drive so it should last a lot longer.
