    I did a small research about the easy store and found out that the HD inside of them is the $300 WD RED harddrive , this is a premium HD, it Has a power outlet and a usb outlet , but it will turn off when you turn the device off , no need to plug it off the wall , it is working fine with my ps4 for now , just plug it in and ps4 will do the rest , i had the WD my passport 4 tb before it and it failed after one year if light use , so i wanted to try this , i will updating my review soon , in case something new happened ,

    Loved the 4 TB ones so thought this would be great. Was so very fine until we moved and even though parked and protected in our personal items, we couldn't get it to be re installed after 4 hours with tech support.

    It's good it works and it wasn't expensive. It's not super fast ... but I am used to using SSD's which are very fast.

    So far so good. An 8TB external at this price was too good to be true but I gave it a shot and so far very happy. Easy to set up and transfer from computer to hard drive. Accessing unit is quick and smooth.

    I've used WD drives for backups for years. This one was no disappointment, either. It gives me lots of space for plenty of backups for a pretty good price!

    Good, inexpensive external drive (for 8TB)

    It's a drive. WD has done a great job of brining this down to the affordable level. Notice that it does require both a power and a data cable (as compared to some smaller drives that can run entirely off USB). This seems to like one USB port more than another on my laptop. So if you're getting less than ideal transfer speeds, try another USB port. At these prices - there is no reason not to back up!

    Works great with Xbox One X

    Bought it to use with my Xbox One X as my previous external was smaller and had performance issues. This drive is fast and hasn’t given me a single problem yet. Although with any hard drive I always recommend getting the geek squad extended warranty because you DO NOT want to go through Western Digital if anything should happen down the line. Trust me on that one. WD will try to fight you tooth and nail to avoid a replacement and even if they do honor the warranty you will only be given a refurb. With Geek Squad it’s a simple exchange in and out no questions asked!
