    I added this to my Synology NAS that I use for a family share drive and Plex server. It was the easiest 8TB's I have ever added. It is very quiet and does what it needs to.

    After PS4 started allowing for external HDD support, I began to research to find a good fit. 8TB is the largest that PS4 will support per that recent update, and this has proven to be a very solid performer... highly recommended.

    The WD easystore external hard drive is a sturdy and reliable one for its reasonable price. It offers decent transfer speeds for moving and copying files. If only external SSDs were more affordably priced in that storage size, that would be a more viable alternative for content creators.

    SUPER fast backups. PMR NOT SMR like > 5tb seagate external drives. Drive inside CAN be taken out and used inside as it is either a WD RED NAS drive OR it is the same drive but Enterprise Version. Why would ANYONE not want to use this even for backups would be beyond me. Best Buy has improved greasily and will see a lot more purchases from me.
