    I notice this drive showed very high temps according to Crystal Disk Info. It goes back down when idle. I shucked my drive (removed the outer shell) and have the bare drive mounted outside my case and I still get VERY high temps when doing a lot of read / writes. Since I don't know what the long term reliability will be I can't really recommend this drive.

    This hard drive comes on sale regularly for 150 bucks. Wait for that sale, and you will never regret buying this. The 4tb version I believe goes on sale from 300 to 70 bucks? So worth it.

    Got this drive to strap on to a mini pc to run as a media server, and it works excellent. Fairly quiet for a desktop drive, and so far working perfectly. Always go for WD!

    PS4 Xtra storage

    I originally purchased a WD Easystore 10TB hard drive for my son who enjoys gaming on the PS4. When we hooked it up it wouldn't format giving us a message that it wasn't compliable with the system. Apparently the largest hard drive a PS4 can handle is an 8TB. Next step was to return the WD10 model and buy this unit which was a step down and am now reviewing. We hooked up the WD Easystore 8TB and everything went as planned. Easy formatting with the PS4 now 8TB bigger!

    I always trust Western Digital for all my storage needs. This product is the best hard drive I have ever owned. Fast and quiet, and doesn't run hot at all. I trust it to last for ten years at least.
