    At $160 for 8 TB of storage, I feel this is a great value. I use it for external PS4 storage and it formatted and works without issue. Highly recommend.

    So far so good. An 8TB external at this price was too good to be true but I gave it a shot and so far very happy. Easy to set up and transfer from computer to hard drive. Accessing unit is quick and smooth.

    I have purchased a WD drive previously in store, This is better because of the USB 3 connection. Fast and lots of space!

    Worked well. I have since switched to the smaller easystores, since I had one of these die on me (it happens though), and the larger size is harder to store. Also, I would highly recommend taking the extra time to find their old backup software; the new version bloated my computer.

    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.
