    A great 8TB external drive for my video projects. It's easy to set up and I have not had any problems with Western Digital drives so I keep buying them.

    nas level drive without the nas level price. Right now I'm using it as an external storage, but nice to know I can break it open and re-purpose it for a nas. Sale price was excellent.

    I bought this drive when it was on sale. Great storage capacity, although a little bit slow and noisy.

    It was a simple and clean purchase/transaction and the product is performing as I hoped. WD is a solid brand and this does nothing to alter that perspective. Thanks for providing such an enjoyable experience.

    When this goes on sale, it's a steal. I got it for $160 although it's been lower. Mine happened to have a WD red NAS drive inside with 256mb cache! Very happy w the performance.

    It was a great deal for the price. I also read online that they use WD Red drives which a great for NAS systems and can easliy be extravted from its case if desired to do so.

    Easy to install, and especially Half the price of the original. Not only a great backup but also stores pics and videos which should last for a while. Especially for 8 TB.

    I've had this for two years now, and it's still working great. It's quiet enough that I don't hear it at all, and it's about two feet away from me.
