    I purchased this item as a supplement to the hard drive on my X Box one. It was easy to setup and very reliable. I would definitely recommend this item for anyone needing to store large files.

    We needed a large storage on site to transfer our videos of our grandkids musical performances. The 8TB and the reliablity of the WD devices was key in our decision. It was also on sale and a great value.

    These drives are a great deal when they go on sale. I got mine last time for $160 making it a great value for storage. inside the enclosure was a 8TB WD red drive (about $250 retail) making it $100 cheaper to get the external.

    So far so good. Seek time is pretty good and has lots of storage space. Got this after my other drive crashed and lost everything. Should have gotten this brand to begin with as I have never had problems with this brand.

    Drives are getting so cheap per GB. Drive works as expected. Pretty compact, but could be smaller.

    Works great. Running out of space to backup photos and videos. This was the perfect external HD. I plug them in to back up and unplug them afterwards. This is the best way to extend their life. Haven't had any issues with any of my external HDs because of this. If you keep them plugged in all the time, you run the chance of shortening their lifespan.
