My New Photo Storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good Storage Drive. I believe it contains 2 WD Black(4TB + 4TB). Black drives are fast and reliable. My old Seagate 4TB, full of photo collection worth 10 years has maxed out. This new WD 8TB will be another string of Hard Drive storage for all my photo's. Good Stuff!

Good price But!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a very good price 149.99 for a 8tb at the moment, but it has its flaws. I use it for my Xbox one x, I also have a 5tb Seagate hooked up as well. The WD turns off when I turn my Xbox off....as it should.... but when I turn it back on it does not turn on with the Xbox. The Seagate does but the WD don't... so I have to keep it in ( on mode ) on my Xbox so it don't turn off when there's updates and so on, on my Xbox. Other than that it works good

I would recommend this to a friend Falls asleep often
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's very fast, and works well in general.. however it seems to disconnect itself or "fall asleep" semi-frequently and will no open folders, without me unplugging it and plugging it back in. Feels like it's trying to crash on me two months in.

Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great deal when discounted as compared to just bare bones 8TB drives, especially for a NAS! If you chuck the case and pull the drive out you will need a 4-pin molex to SATA power adapter for the drive to start up properly.

Back up, back up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this 8tb drive, I've had drives go bad in the past and didnt have a backup for it so lost years of stuff, until I decided to have a backup drive, you can set this bad boy up and forget about it. If you drive ever goes bad you have this backup to transfer to any other drive you want

It's WD! What else you need to know?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always trusted Western Digital for my storage needs. I have very good personal experience; still have 10yo WD drives in working condition. Other brands I owned did not survive for more than 5 years. This particular drive has plenty of storage for my needs; it's fast and quite.

Works at intended
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right now I'm using this as an extended storage for my PS4 Pro. So far, it works as intended. While moving all of my info from one hard drive to this one, the casing did not run as hot as I thought it would. Otherwise, its a hard drive. You should know exactly what you are getting with this.
