    It was the right size and the right price. Moreover, it can be removed from the case and used as an internal drive. SCORE!

    This is my third 8th Easystore from Western Digital. All 3 are in use as backup drives for a NAS and 2 computers. This is a great, quiet drive. Although it really wasn't necessary, I did reformat one of the drives which was easy and quick, and went off without a hitch. It is a relief knowing that the data I have is secure, and if something does go wrong, I have a copy of everything I need. Can't say it enough: Back it up! Back it up! and in case I wasn't very clear, Back It Up!

    Received as a gift. Using it as a backup of a backup. Directly connected to my router to be used as a network share. Can access my files easily via FTP. So far no issues. Fast read/write times even across the WAN.

    Rarely utilize it other than transferring media backups to it. Not the fastest drive I ever used, but it's just storage so who even cares about speed?
