    Excellent Hard Drive

    Best value for an external or internal Hard drive period. These go on sale quite often and when they're below $200 it's a steal at the price. Internally these are Western Digital RED NAS Hard Drives.

    Does indeed come with a Red drive. Save $$$ over buying the bare drive and you have great and speedy storage. It is even faster than my 1TB 7200 RPM blue drive at 5400 RPM thanks to platter density.

    It was actually cheaper to buy this external drive than to just buy the 8tb WD Red drive. We needed the drive for our server. The external case will get another drive dropped in and still be of use.

    I grabbed two of these to set up a NAS with a Raspberry Pi 4. They are working just fine for what I am using them for. I can't complain.

    I was hoping the hd was WD Red, but it was non colored, not sure if it’s the same. The product is quiet and has a fast transfer speed. Love the huge storage capacity, no more looking for other drive, everything is in one mass drive. Great price too. Only 4 star because it is not red drive inside per other reviewers.

    Both physically and memory, I love it. I hope it is around for a while? I leave it on separate surge protector so I can leave it turned off unless I need it. Works good, plus I don't worry about over heating.

    Needed some more storage space. After reading the reviews I purchased 2 of these drives to shuck. The 2 I received were indeed WD Red drives. Worked great and nearly doubled by current raid setup.

    Does what is made to do; backup my docs. It just sits there quietly in the background on autopilot working away. This is my fourth WD backup unit.
