    I bought this for use on my Xbox One to store all my games on. I don't think I'll ever be able to fill this thing up! 8,000GB worth of storage. I highly advise buying this, it's a steal!

    This product is great and works as intended. I have been using it as a media drive for a plex server and have not had any issues after a few months. I would say though that the normal $180 is a little high and wait till it goes on sale for between $120-$130.

    I was looking for a hard drive big enough for family photos and videos that was user friendly. This hard drive was plug in and go and there is a lot of space. Recommend to anyone with a lot of family photos

    I did a little research on the best external drive to use for storage and this one came highly recommended from several sites I visited. It was easy to attach to my PC and is working flawlessly.

    Was running low on storage space and purchased this drive while it was on sale. At $20 a TB, it's a good deal. The WD Red drive inside the case make it a great deal. I''ll be set on storage space for quote some time.

    Exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use and speeds are very efficient and reliable. Especially on sale when you're able to get it for less than $20 a TB it's worth the money.

    Works great and great for shucking

    Drive works great as these tend to do. Fast and no crazy encryption on the controller board, so you can easily rescue your data if the electronics fail. I shuck mine pretty quickly though. The drive in the enclosure I got is the white box version of the 8tb wd red. Keep in mind that there was a SATA POWER spec change recently so if you have an old psu and the bare drive won’t spin up it’s because of the change. You can fix the problem either by taping over pin 3 of the power connector with a tiny piece of tape. Or getting a new power supply. Or using a molex to sata power adapter (which for unrelated reasons does not trigger the problem) I do not recommend the adapter for long term use as most of them are badly made and flaky.

    These are at a great price point now and work really well. I can't speak to longevity, but the current batch of these should have RED drive in it. On sale, this is far cheaper than buying REDs if you have a NAS.

    This product was relatively easy to set up, and will be very beneficial in storing my music, writings, photos, etc. I prefer using this product over using the cloud. It easily stores other important written documents.
