    This is a very shockable drive, it pops right out. They are still white label red drives but they are definitely air filled and not helium filled which means they tend to run a bit hotter. Either way when these go on sale I’m a sucker and buy to that I can shuck it like an oyster and pop it in my NAS.

    I quickly ran out of space for my 500gb ps4. With this external hard drive setup was super easy and quick. Now I have tons of space and can play all my games without worry of deleting files off my ps4 to make room. Now I just have to buy another one for my Xbox 1.

    I bought this to extend the storage, and backup my laptop PC, which is a few years old. Even with USB 2.0 ports, file transfers are fast, and 8 TB is over 8x my hd space, so it's worked great for that. But I can't get my Sony Blu Ray player and the 8 TB mini-tower to connect, so it doesn't work for watching movies with my older Sony TV or Blu Ray. Took off one star for that. Still satisfied with product.

    I have purchased a number of these drives and all of them have been quiet and with the large size it can fit a lot of my photos. I make sure to have off-site backup as well just to prevent data loss since all hard drives will eventually fail.

    As I’m sure you might have known, these are the external hard drives that have WD Red NAS drives inside them. Apparently they aren’t guaranteed, but I have now purchased 4 and all of them did. Very easy to pull off enclosure, just look on YouTube.

    I purchased a number of these drives over the past 12 months for my network. These drives are a great value ($/TB). The USB 3.0 is great for fast and large file transfers if you do not intend on shucking the drive and using it as an internal.
