    Picked this up to consolidate storage of our videos. Easy to install, quiet, and convenient with backup software if you need it.

    Bought this hard drive for a Christmas present for our brother and he is really enjoying it. He utilizes the gaming functions between the mouse and his other computer devices.

    I have 3 of these now and all 3 work great so far. Used for NAS, PS4, XBONE. Tested all 3 before using and passed with 100% working blocks.

    Only had the drive for about a month. So far it works as it should. Cheaper than buying a bare drive. I use it to back up a NAS so I do not really need the included software. I prefer Western Digital over Seagate based on personal experience.

    Loved the 4 TB ones so thought this would be great. Was so very fine until we moved and even though parked and protected in our personal items, we couldn't get it to be re installed after 4 hours with tech support.

    Needed a new external hard drive - this works great. I've never had issues with a WD hard drive so love this brand. And the price on this for storage size was incredible!

    8GB hard drive for $149! Great deal. I purchased just to pull the drive to put in a NAS. Drive works great. Can't go wrong for the price.

    My last external hard drive crashed, my computer went down and I lost 8 years of documents. Besides, the old hard drive was too small to hold all of my material. The easy store holds 8TB of data and backs up every hour automatically. Though more expensive than I anticipated, after the purchase I believe that it is worth every penny! This unit truly "has my back!"

    The best part about this external hard drive is what's inside the case. An 8TB WD Red drive. These are very fast, large, and reliable drives. You'll be hard pressed to find a better deal than this until 8TB drives are much cheaper.

    Good bang for your buck, especially if you can get it on sale. WD is consistently the best cheap external large HD provider between this and the elements series.
