    Easy to install, and especially Half the price of the original. Not only a great backup but also stores pics and videos which should last for a while. Especially for 8 TB.

    Amazing value for the storage size. I’ve been looking for a drive for months, this was the best price. Moved 2TB on it already and now issues.

    Great external storage for the price. Easy to use and fast backup solution especially if you have USB 3.0 but backwards compatible. Will buy more of these external drives.

    This had a WD White Label EDAZ air filled drive. I was skeptical of the temperatures since I heard the air drives ran hotter than the helium filled ones. When I tested it with WD DLG it did get hotter than my other drives but once I shucked it and put it in the server where there was better airflow it cooled right down. As of right now it is running the same temp as my 8TB EMAZ's and EFAX's, about 35C at idle. So far, so good.

    I can't speak for the quality of the USB enclosure since I shucked this drive the minute I got home with it, but the drive inside was a white label drive and works quite well in my NAS.

    I have been blown away by the gigantic capacity and easy use of the WD 8TB external hard drive. It's like having your own server with capacity I can't imagine ever using up!

    So I needed a external HDD to store some pictures and other documents that was clogging my SSD drive up. I see this baby with 8TB of disk space and think "why not?" I unboxed it, plugged it into power, plugged the USB cable into the HDD and the other in to my USB 3.0 slot (make sure you plug it into the blue USB slot to get the full speed of USB 3.0). No mess, no fuss, it was off to the races. Took about 20 minutes to move a TB of info from my SSD to the USB, but some of the files were rather large. I found it faster moving the same amount of space, but with smaller files. Anyway so far so good.

    This came as a WD White Drive (Red with white label) for a lot less $$ than a WD Red from anywhere else. I've purchased about a dozen of these and none have had any issues!

    I've had this for two years now, and it's still working great. It's quiet enough that I don't hear it at all, and it's about two feet away from me.
