    At $160 for 8 TB of storage, I feel this is a great value. I use it for external PS4 storage and it formatted and works without issue. Highly recommend.

    Hard drives are working as expected my only complaint is that the drives get a little warm in the provided enclosure. I'm glad I picked these up before the prices sky rocketed.

    Nice external drive for $175. It would be faster if it was 3.1, but I am getting about 200MB/sec out of it. Not being powered from USB is a plus, especially if you got a bunch of external drives. Like all the WD products I have experienced, it is well made and should last a long time.

    These 8 TB WD drives are solid, reliable and fast for Spiny drives. The drive inside is basically a WD Red 8 TB and it's a great value.

    Got this hard drive for work. I needed something to backup some large digital xray files. This is my 3rd WD drive and I love them. You just plug it in and the software automatically loads. 8TB is about as much storage as I'll ever need. Great drive.

    8TB is a lot of space. If this ever goes on sale make sure you get it ASAP. It runs quietly and the black polished case makes it blend in.

    This was a great purchase until I lost my computer to a motherboard failure a couple of months ago that will take a long time to replace during this cancer battle and no money for much now.
