    Love these drives. I use them for my Plex server. I can get 2 of these for the price of 1 WD Red drive.

    WD 8TB drives do the trick and are plenty fast. I prefer WD to Seagate even though they are owned by the same folks these days.

    Needed a larger HD so picked this one up. No problems and copies files quickly. I always stick with WD for my harddrive needs.

    I love how easy this is to literally plug and play, and with 8 TB, I hope it will be a good while before I fill it up.

    8tb is a nice size to hold lots of files and clean up your drives. The test of time will tell how reliable it is so we shall see, but so far awesome.

    8TB is a lot of space. If this ever goes on sale make sure you get it ASAP. It runs quietly and the black polished case makes it blend in.

    I already have a WD 500 GB external drive that has been very dependable and easy to use. This one has proven to be just as reliable and easy to use.

    This unit is excellent for the price. It is easy to set up and use. Makes a little bit more noise than a portable hard drive and is always on, but a great product overall. Would like to see an standby feature be implemented so it's not running 24 hrs a day.

    It is certainly plenty big enough for most applications. And although the larger size means some reduction in seek time, it is adequate for most applications - certainly if using for back-up or archiving. Connecting and installing is simple and easy.

    Hard drives are working as expected my only complaint is that the drives get a little warm in the provided enclosure. I'm glad I picked these up before the prices sky rocketed.
