    It's a WD.... What's not to love. I've had this drive running for a while now 24/7. I've dumped a lot of data on it. It's holding up great. I ran a lot of drive tests on it prior to use and all is well!

    We have had no issues with this drive yet. We purchased it because our other drive was filling up and we use a lot of hard drive space. This seems like it will work great until we can get a RAID system set up in its place.

    Purchased the WD easystore 8TB external storage device to use as a backup for my NAS. It is working fine and the speed is more than adequate for my needs. I purchased this as a daily deal and it was an absolute steal.

    Got this for storing computer backups, photos and videos. Not the fastest but does the job. I only plug it in when in use so it will last forever. Get it on sale Black Friday...will be hugely discounted.

    I don't have any complaints about this hard drive. I use it for my media server to store movies and it hasn't had any problems in almost a year. Plug and play, works fast and like a charm.

    Purchased two of these on sale. The two I purchased both had WD 8tb Red drives inside. They are 5400RPM with 256gb cache. Shucked and placed in my media server. Great price at $159 for a bare drive that retails for $285.

    I give this a five star. I didn’t end up keeping it in its enclosure. Took the hdd out and added it internally to my desktop. Using it as a server pc. Well worth the price.

    Awesome when on sale. People say these have NAS drives inside, but as long as it's under warranty I am not going to mess with it. I am using as USB only and it works great for offline storage.

    These are immensely popular because they contain a high quality drive. Like most other external drives, they do tend to run hot due to poor ventilation, so it wouldn't hurt to use a fan to keep it cool.
