    The WD EasyStore 8TB external hard drive is a must for anyone with any kind of computer. Most hard drives on desktop and laptops have a max capacity of 1-2 TB. With the Easystore, backing up data is a breeze, recalling files is simple, and clearing out a hard drive that is near capacity will increase the efficiency of the computer itself.

    Bought this on sale at $179, a few days later they had a similar model on sale at $129, which naturally sold out, so I am stuck with this one, but I'm still happy with it.

    Best part was it was easy to set up and start using. Next it has a ton of storage so that is a huge plus. I don’t notice much of a difference in speed though from usb 3 to my 3 port. Seems about average in speed. Would recommend this product for the average home user like myself.

    Purchased this item during a sale, which makes the price per GB a great deal. I wanted to store my videos and be able to watch it on my phone. However, a NAS is required for this. I noticed that my router allows one to plugin a USB device and share the contents of that USB on the network. I had this item purchased before I checked if this was compatible w/ the router. And I was disappointed that it wasn't, and online sources say that the router only supports up to 3TB at most. Yet I was hopeful, so I transferred one file onto the hard drive and plugged it in on the router, and it worked! I was able to watch the video through the router! My TV, my phone, my other computer, all of them can access the external hard drive now. (W/ a big performance hit, though nothing to be surprised as the router isn't supposed to replace a NAS anyway) Overall, am really happy w/ the purchase, hopefully it'll last long while plugged in on the router.

    Plug and play. Device recognized it right away. It asked me a few questions about how I would like to store my data. Never have had to look back. Just the way I like it.
