Portable harddrive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy set up no problems. Had a 2 gig hard drive and a lot of files on my main harddrive. Took me awhile but I pushed all those files into the new 8 GB harddrive. Now my computer is running better. Will be able to move more when needed should last me for a couple years. Very happy

So far, so good.

Super easy to shuck for NAS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this drive with the intent of "shucking" the shell in order to grab just the hard disk drive itself. The shucking was super easy (you can find instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/7fx0i0/wd_easystore_8tb_compendium/) and the drive itself worked right out-of-the-box in my QNAP NAS
