Hard Drive Stopped Working
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Hard drive! Holds up a lot of content and files, but for some reason this one all of a sudden reads “Your computer cannot read this hard drive” and ive had to get another one. Hopefully this one will be good!

Good storage device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good price for 8TB external drive. Transfers from this drive to NAS drive over GigEthernet connection at 60MB/sec. Not the fastest rate, but still very good performance.

Excellent Storage Device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned many external hard drives over the years. While any company can make the occasional bad unit (or develop a problematic product line), I've found Western Digital drives to be quite reliable. This one sports excellent speed and massive storage, which is perfect for backing up all of my digital content while providing plenty of room for future growth. All in all, I'm loving this drive!

Opened it up to find WD RED NAS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price for this 8TB hard drive can not be beat. I opened the case with some fine pointed tools and guitar picks to find a Red NAS drive. To be more specific it was: WD Red 8TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6 Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch I expect thus drive to perform like my other WD red drives. They have a fantastic realibility record both from online reviewed and through my own personal usage.
