Good for backup storage
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good enough, it's no speed demon but seems work just fine . You pay for lower performance and you get it. There are 8TB drives out there that cost more then two times the cost of WD's Easy Store HDD.

Huge Storage - Quiet & Fast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.8TB is a ton of space, and great as a storage/backup device. The drive is pretty fast via the USB3 connection, and relatively quiet too. I like the fact it will auto-power off when not in use (after several minutes). The only issue is the spin-up time is a little longer than I've seen in previous external drives, but overall, it's a great buy when it's on-sale!

Lots of storage for a great price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this 8 terabyte external drive to consolidate my data from several 2 terabyte drives. I was impressed that it uses a WD Red drive and it is whisper quiet. Transferring data is a breeze over the 3.0 USB cable and was just what I needed.

Plug and play with enormous storage capacity
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this drive to organize thousands of photos from several vacations. The plug and play nature meant that there was no needed setup and I was able to quickly copy thousands of photos to the drive from many sd cards. The 8TB is a tremendous amount of storage so I'll be able to keep all my photos in one place.
