    I had to buy a new hard drive since a few of my older ones were starting to become defective, and I needed to back them up ASAP. I couldn’t just get any hard drive though, since I’m using an older Mac with Snow Leopard still! Thankfully this drive is compatible and it helped me save my files with no issue.

    There was a another WD Easystore external hard drive, a 10TB, offered at the same time. I did some simple math and it turned out the price per terabit was almost exactly the same. I needed a backup, but decided to hedge my bets with an 8TB instead of the 10TB. Plus it came with a Shutterfly offer ($25 or the 8X8 photo book) That further reduced the price per TB. I've had nothing but success with WD products, so I took this combo.

      Hello JKayy, We're sorry to hear that the drive did not meet your expectations. That's certainly not the experience we aim for. We understand how frustrating that can be. We would like the chance to make it right. Please reach out to our support team by opening a ticket at (https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb) so we can look into it and explore a possible replacement (if needed) or a solution for you. Thank you for your patience. WDConnections

    I purchased 4 of these drives in the last 4 months. I will be buying a few more this spring. They work very well and for the price you can't do better. The four that I have contained WD Red drives. I will be using them in a FreeNAS server I am going to build. Can't do better than these drives.
