    Nice 8TB Drive. Lousy backup software

    Nice having 8TB of storage. But I have a network drive connected to my router. I can see it on all my Windows devices, but the WD Backup software could not see it. That was the drive I need backed up[,because I have mp3 and pics and other stuff on it. Contacted WD support no good kept referring me to their software that won't do what I want. Found Nero Back It Up sees all drives on my network. For an additional 39.99$ now working like I want.

    I picked up 2 of these when they were on sale. One for each my wife and my daughter. My daughter hooked it up to her xbox one and away she went loading her games onto it. It was very seamless and has plenty of storage space. My wife uses hers for storing pictures, as she is a photographer on the side. It gives her an incredible amount of storage space for all her pictures. Again, she hooked it up to her computer, and away she went. Very easy to use. They have had them for 3 months now with no issues at all. Plug and play, very spacious drive for the avid gamer or photographer, or just anyone who would like the extra back up space.

    It is a quick and simple way to provide more storage. Just plug-in and go. No complications. It has performed perfectly so far with no issues that I have been able to detect. Really good for a backup device.

    Always a little early to review, since I purchased less than a month ago. This drive is hanging off my router to be accessible by two Win10 pc's, plus a Linux server. Since it is not a cloud device, getting it shared was not easy, which is why I rated it 4 stars. If you are not tech savvy, go for a different version. I also purchased this because of the other reviews that says this contains the highly rated WD Red drive in it.

    Works great for backing up all of my computers and electronics. Faster than my old 3tb Seagate. Got it on sale for fair price at 139.99. Will eventually move to backup ps4 or ps5. Also is a Best Buy exclusive.

    Purchased this on sale as my first external harddrive. I expected lightening fast computer recognition when connected but it took several minutes. But I kept replugging it because it did not show up as an available drive quickly enough. Once it showed up, I used it to back up my hard drives. The best part is that I took it over to my 4k tv and plugged it in the usb3 port and there was my entire harddrive. I could select movies to watch and it would load and play them flawlessly. Took it to a friends house and connected to his computer and it showed up very fast. LOVE the size. You can never have too much storage.
