    What can I say, its an external hard drive and it does what its supposed to do. Speeds are decent as far as an HDD goes. Caught this on sale, it was a good buy. So far so good, I'm happy with this one.

    It's a pretty self explanatory item. Large capacity at 8 TB, easy to connect, easy to install, easy to use, and most of all, FAST. Plus, very affordable. I am thoroughly pleased with this purchase.

    This is a must buy if you're looking for a reliable and fast external USB 3.0 drive. The hard drive inside the enclosure is a WD 8TB Red NAS drive. Use it as is as an external drive or remove the hard drive and put in your NAS or in your PC. Make sure you wait for it to be on sale so you can get at a great price too.

    8TB Easystore is awesome!

    8TB Easystore (BestBuy exclusive product line) uses quality 5400RPM helium filled Red (WD80EFAX) or white label (WD80EMAZ) drives, these have NAS/RAID features (i.e. TLER) that are important for some uses. The high-capacity drives are a great value, especially during frequent sales. Thai produced drives have 256MB of cache. Runs a bit hot in the plastic enclosure, not much room inside. If you plan on writing TBs of data at once, keeping a fan blowing over the drive may help. For my use case (NAS/media servers), both red and white label drives worked out really well (no 3.3v issues with 3 of my EMAZ) in my Dell R510, with Unraid directly accessing/managing disks via H200 adapter flashed to IT mode.
