    I bought this for a backup hdisk for my stuff. Should provide a good storage option for NAS or remain a reliable external backup. The price was excellent. Hoping to see good results for how it fairs with time.

    I needed more storage space and have always had great luck with Western Digital. The 3.0 transfer speed made loading information from my old drives to this one easy. So far everything has worked well with it.

    This drive is great, I have several, like 10. 8 are in raid arrays and 2 are independent. Work awesome, quite and cool. Speed and medium as their are 5400 rpm, but they feature 4K clusters, better than Segate

    Fantastic drive. Purchased to backup my home computer. Works great. Fairly quick drive. Very easy to install. Using a product called CloudBerry to backup to it and it just works. Backups are smooth and easy.

    This is my 2nd 8TB drive, as the first one failed. This one is supposed to backup my computer, but it won't go into backup mode. I'm sure it is operator error.

    Very quiet when its running, a bit of noise when its doing read/write. If anyone is wondering these have a WD Reds inside with 256mb cache, 5400 rpm. All in all great deal and a great drive! Use it every day.

    I picked this hard drive up on Black Friday for an excellent price. We will be backing up and uploding every photo we have ever taken and look forward to the ample space left over for many years to come. Pretty simple external hard drive. You plug it in and connect to computer and instant 8 TB of storage. Its very easy, highly functional, and very affordable. I ordered it online and toon advantage of free in-store pickup. The entire process was seemless.

    8TB is just what i need to store 4K videos. I would have preferred the Cloud capability, but this is good to just store a lot of family photos and videos that i have been collecting over the last 15 years.

    I've owned my fair share of external drives ranging in size. The Western Digital 8TB drive has lasted me well so far. I have had similar drives from Seagate and those failed on me after only a couple years.

    Very good quality external hard drive for the price. Very easy to use, setup, and begin transferring and storing data. Came with some junk on it that I had to remove so that wasn't so great. Otherwise, this is a fantastic external hard drive.

    At the price this is a great value for the size. Perfect to back up tons of media. It’s not a question if your external device will fail...it’s when. So this drive is a great way to add lots of redundancy.
