Great storage device for backups, have another 4 TB capacity that is about 8 years old and still works. Use to backup my Synology NAS.

Works as intended. Not much more to say about it..

One of the challenges anyone needing digital storing space is having the peace of mind that your photos and video files will be in a trusted location. The other challenge is having significant storage space, especially if you're using higher-end video recorders and DSLR cameras. Western Digital is an extremely reliable brand. My colleagues who do professional videography are limiting their digital storage media to very few brands with Western Digital at the top of the list. Having 8 TB at a great price from Western Digital is an ideal combination.

Got this on a Best Buy sale. Opened it up to use for a NAS, works great, and is much quieter than our older drives. Hoping Best Buy does another price drop because I'd like to get another.

Great hard drive and it is even better when you buy as deal of the day.Software that came with it it is not the best but if second copy backup software is used make this drive better and easier to to back up documents with lot of options

[Employee of bestbuy] Solid performance. Quick write time. Very quick pulling files.

I use this as a large expansion drive for my Xbox Series X, and it's surprisingly fast for an external platter HDD. Definitely worth the price. I'm planning to buy more.

High density, great price and form factor. WD is also a reliable company as well and the best part is the internal drive is a high quality drive.

Excellent value-perfoms flawlessly-highly recommended-The WD quality at a great price that you can expect!!!

My daughter's computer crashed recently and she thought she'd lost all of her pictures since the birth of her now 8 year old daughters. Not wanting to go through that same stress. It's a comfort knowing I have all of my files backed up.

I've purchased four of these and two of them were defective (while they did turn on, no computer would recognize them). For the two that did work, they've worked great -- fast transfers, and they seem fairly reliable so far. So, provided you get one that works, you'll probably be happy with it. I was lucky that I was able to return the two defective ones for a full refund to Best Buy before the return period was over...Western Digital customer service had told me that they'd only replace them with refurbished models with reduced warranties if Best Buy wouldn't take them back.

Satisfactory size for my needs. Glad I have it and feel my data is safe.

Really nice that you can connect as a NAS OR direct attached USB storage and go back and forth as needed. Love this!

This is a wonderful product for storing large amounts of photos for photographers. Easy to use, comfortable on the price...on sale.

Picked up this little guy to use on a Raspberry Pi-based NAS. Seems to work just fine. I'm sure the 3b is holding back any performance that this actually has.

I love the quality and the sapce that this hard drive give you to your computer. I can store my family videos and personal photos

very good product for the value, use everyday. It is important for my business

I bought this for my son to expand his Xbox storage, and so far it has worked perfectly! It’s a great value considering the large storage capacity, I would definitely recommend it!

It's great item and very beautiful design. There are more storage space than I need now. Eventually, I may need another one. At least, I know what to look for in the future.

Needed to backup my files and this was the perfect choice. Tons of space for photos and videos.
