    What can I say it’s an external hard drive. Works as expected and high-capacity is excellent. At the time of purchase this was the best bang for the buck. I have had no issues yet and I’m happy with it

    If you want tons of space to save things like pictures, video games, tv shows, movies....etc.....etc.....this is something for you. With that many TB this will go a long ways.

    I'm a big fan of WD external drives so I knew what I was getting. Right out of the box it was ready to go. No formatting necessary as I was using it as a capture device for my XBOX One S and X. I even bought 2 because the Black Friday price was to good to pass up.

    I needed a drive that would store a large amount of data, long term, and this drive fills the bill. Operation is very quiet and speed is satisfactory over USB. As always, make sure you have alternate copies of critical data files as no method of storage is forever.

    With the HUGE data storage tasks I have to deal with (4k video; high bit-rate WAV audio production, engineering data management tasks, etc.) I need BIG storage tanks to keep projects in one place and not 'spread out' over several computers. This is the way to go.

    8TB WD RED DRIVE!!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    What is not to love about this. These externals contain WD's NAS RED drives. Depending on if it is from Thailand (256mb cache) or China (128mb cache) it is an amaaaazing buy. If you were to buy these as internal drives they cost almost $100 more. HEADS UP: If you shuck the drive you void the warranty but I have never had problems with these drives. Talk about a SUUUUUPER buy. Perfect for PLEX server.

    I have another WD 3TB external hard drive that I used for 2-3 years before filling it up with family pics and videos. It worked great and still does. I read reviews on this 8TB unit and the internal workings are listed to be state of the art and very dependable. I was hesitant to get 8 TB but the price was so good that I couldn't pass it up. It has worked flawlessly so far and should last me a long time with that much capacity. Well pleased with WD products. The customer service is super, the few times I have had questions about the unit.

    I've been running this for a few months now, and all is good. No issues out of the box. Connects easily to my PC. Time will tell how it holds up, but so far no complaints.

    Bargain Backup

    Grabbed this as a Deal of the Day special. Shucked it to see which drive was inside, but it was the white label 8TB, not the red. Put it back in the enclosure, plugged it in, and scheduled my backups through Windows 10. I did not use the WD backup software they offered, so I cannot say whether it’s any better or worse than Windows. As for operation, no problems. The drive runs silently in the stock enclosure, and aside from the activity light on the front, I forget that it’s even there next to my tower.
