    A HUGE amount of storage for the money!

    I'm an old-school computer user that has learned the importance of system backups that are reliable, frequent, and redundant. This external WD drive gives me all the room I need to store image backups as well as automatic incremental backups of individual files that have changed. I use a mix of local backups and cloud storage to make sure my files are protected. I've had many bad experiences with high-capacity Seagate drives and have had much better luck with Western Digital products. (That's just my opinion, and other people may have different experiences with these companies.) Seagate products have been so unreliable for me that I'm unlikely to ever purchase another one. I'll stick with Western Digital.

    8TB!!! I have a smaller external hard drive. But, I really wanted the extra 4TB. I'd like it even more if it was smaller.

    Confirmed to have WD Reds and 256 MB Cache

    I bought these based on may reports that theses actually contain NAS Red drives. and DriveDX on my iMac confirms this. The Made in Thailand ones are the preferred one as they contain 256MB Cache vs the Made in China ones that come with 128 MB. This really makes little no difference with occasional small file transfers but will improve transfer times if you are moving a lot of files at once. These drives do make a slight "click" sound every 5-6 seconds and that's been confirmed to be normal.

    fine for my BIG music (WAV files) collection

    I have an extensive music collection covering the 50's through the 90's and the music files (especially .wav files when converted) require quite a lot of space. this is my 4th Western Digital (WD) 8 TB drive. Although I believe it's actually TWO 4 TB' drives within a single external drive box), I find that the USB 3speed certainly keeps up with NERO software when copying and I have very few CD failures. In closing, I would not have bought the previous THREE drives if I did not believe in and trust the quality. No one likes to LOSE files accumulated for their hobby !! It dawned on my that I had better state clearly that all the previous 3 WD drives purchased STILL WORK - I just needed more space as my collection grew !!

    It's a pretty self explanatory item. Large capacity at 8 TB, easy to connect, easy to install, easy to use, and most of all, FAST. Plus, very affordable. I am thoroughly pleased with this purchase.

    This is a great NAS drive

    These drives are great stand alone for back up of files. They are also great for tossing a few of these into a NAS box. I have not had any issues with these and am waiting for them to go on sale again to pick up 2 more. They make 10 and 12 TB sizes now so the 8TB is beginning to become the sweet spot for storage drives.
