Bought this on black Friday deal. Amazing product for a better price... Planning to each this in my NAS

Works just like you need it to! Definitely going to buy another when I need more space!

Works great. Easy to set up and in minutes you are ready to store whatever you need to.

Great backup drive at a good price - just what I expect from Best Buy!

Really enjoying my 8Gb ext USB Hard Drive for my X Box One X wish they had a larger drive in stock that evening I would have totally gone with a larger drive with 4k Gaming NOW on X Box One C gonna be nice to have as much space as possible so I can download my entire DIGITAL XBOX LIBRARY

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.

Value for money. No out of the box support for macOS. You can use it with MacOS with NTFS driver

Currently using it for storing server backups locally. So far it has been perfect!

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.

Bought this so I could have a place for old photos that were on my phone. Works as expected.

I was running out of space so I purchased this external hard drive. When I purchased it, it still came with a Western Digital Red hard drive inside it that uses CMR instead of SMR.

I plugged it into my Linux computer ad was able to easily format it as ext4 for use on my Linux systems.

I use this as my secondary backup drive for media. It run really quite. The only downside i see its not ssd and 16 tb lol

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. A great value! Tremendous storage value for little money.

this one is the cheap one with no password just so you know. works great. lots of space.

This drive which I got for the storage capabilities is phenomenal. The interface is simple, read/write is quick, the system is very responsive and with 8TB, plenty of storage for my movies and such. The internal drive alone is worth more than I paid for the entire unit. Awesome!

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.

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.

Not too bulky and the speed and extra storage is awesome.
