    Upgraded to a larger hard drive, when a older one began to fail and was able to retrieve the data files and move to the new WD external USB with ease.

    It was a simple and clean purchase/transaction and the product is performing as I hoped. WD is a solid brand and this does nothing to alter that perspective. Thanks for providing such an enjoyable experience.

    Western digital makes the most reliable hard drive. I will only use Western digital for critical applications. This unit was easy to install as an 8 TB drive.

    Absolutely amazing. I have a 256gb usb I used to back up my files, which would take about ~25-30 minutes. I did the same thing with this, and it finished copying everything in about 1 minute.

    Can't beat $180 for an 8TB WD Red. Excellent for Burstcoin/Sia/Storj mining. Can also be disassembled to use as an internal drive but then they might not honor the warranty.

    WD drives are among the more reliable drives of the industry and this one is no different. For the price, it's recommended. It's designed for storage and light use only.
