Cheap 8TB Red Equivalent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought five of these to use the drives in my new QNAP TS-873. All contained WD80-EMAZ drives, which by all accounts, are one of several "Red" equivalents. You don't get the 5-year warranty, but it's worth the tradeoff to me at this particular point in time. Getting them out was easier than I thought, and I managed to be patient and not break anything, so I still have 5 good enclosures. For the price when they're on sale, you can't beat them, whether you're using them as externals or for the drives; the enclosures don't look bad sitting on a desk, either.

I only trust WD
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have multiple WD external HDDs and am very satisfied with the products. As a rule, I only but WD drives for internal and external use. This drive is high quality, well built and stays in line with WDs proven track record of quality and reliability.

Perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm one of those people who does a ton of research about a product before I buy it. I do a lot of video editing with 4K footage and photography so needed a fast and reliable unit at a good price point. This product offers all of that. Can't beat it.

Does what i want it to do
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already own a 4TB WD external drive and just needed additional capacity. Set up was easy and. Setting backups was simple. I am using the drive as an archive (actual backup) which will be used in emergencies. If you want this to store and stream videos etch, then this is not for you. I would suggest an actual SAN solution. If you just want a backup system then I would recommend this.

DAS for a Raspberry Pi-based NAS

Excellent Buy, quality internals, very quiet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good quality drives and in fact many people have gotten WD RED drives in them, those are NAS Ware drives that usually cost 250+. If you're lucky you might get one with a RED drive in it. This is a great deal if gotten on a sale.
