    These are excellent hard drives and provide a huge amount of storage for a great price. I use this with a small PC for media streaming and it works great.

    8TB is Nice . . . But I Will Need More Space!

    Magnificent . . . I have two 4TB WD Drives, one 4TB WD Drive, and two 4TB Seagate Drives for Video and Audio Backups. Since it is a desktop HDD, it does require a power brick and will not run off the computer without it. I usually disconnect the drives and store in a cool dry place so I am (usually) not worried about electromagnetic damage from power surges or the like (also have UPS). 8TB is Nice . . . But I Will Need More Space! I will probably end up buying the 10 and 12 TB shortly depending on how I rotate the A/V across the drives.

    Works great as my network backup drive. Connected to the router via usb3. All computers can use for shared folders or individual backups. Worth every penny, especially when on sale.

    I always trust Western Digital for all my storage needs. This product is the best hard drive I have ever owned. Fast and quiet, and doesn't run hot at all. I trust it to last for ten years at least.

    This item is the best. The case itself can house any 3.5 mm sata internal hard drive, and the existing one in here can be removed to use as a WD internal red. Great product at great price.

    Plug, and play with my PS 4 pro. I don't like boxes, or disks hanging around. So now I download almost all my games. It looks nice, sitting in the background , waiting to do it's job. You do have to plug it into a pad port, so you sacrifice a player port. If you want you can purchase a multi usb port adapter. I have had no issues, even when I had lost power situations, or a cold boot. it checks itself, and goes back to work. No worries! Love it!
