    Wait for these to go on sale. $129 is the max you should pay and you can do better if you wait. Very reliable drives and much cheaper option than equivalent bare drive.

    Good value... Works well as a backup and an external drive! Instructions could use a bit more clarification but if you know what you're doing, it's a solid product.

    You can't go wrong with 8Tb. So much space, only problem is sometimes the drive is temperamental and you have to wait to wake up. But for the price, I'll deal with it

    I have been relying on WD almost exclusively for ALL my storage needs be it internal or external for the last decade+ and count ONE drive that has failed me in which they were able to both fix under warranty and recover my data! I ABSOLUTELY recommend them for reliable data storage and encourage you to check our their SSD internal and external lines as well. ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY PENNY! Trust me, I'm a tech god! Also, SUPER easy to use! Just plug and play!

    Inside this enclosure, at least the two I bought plus 10 more bought by various friends, are WD Red server-grade 8TB hard drives. There are numerous videos on YouTube showing how to "shuck" the plastic case and remove the hard drive, then usable in your NAS box or other servers. If you're just using the drive as an attached 8TB external, this is a particularly high quality hard drive to have in a $139 package. Now, for the props to Best Buy -- I bought two of these at $159.99 on Black Friday. They went on sale for $139.99 on December 7. I called up Best Buy and asked (politely) for a price adjustment. They approved the adjustments, including crediting back the portion of sales tax for the $20 per drive refunds. I would absolutely do business with Best Buy again.
