    It seems to be a good external hard drive. I have had no problems with it. As some people commented, it is a bit loud when it is working but I wouldn't say that its to the point of being annoying or anything. Just noticeable.

    Great External Hard Drive

    It's a 5400 or a 5900 RPM drive but the track density is high enough to generate excellent read and write rates. Read and write speeds on uncluttered outer tracks run close to 200 MB per sec. I'd recommend this drive to a friend. I've owned Western Digital drives in the past and have consistently been satisfied with their value. (I did purchase a WD drive that had performance issues (from the start) - Best Buy allowed me to exchange it with no pushback.) Kudos, Best Buy!

    This is absolutely the best hard drive for the money. It has red drive inside, which is perfect for longevity and stability. It runs super quiet, and very fast. Perfect for backups. Will definitely buy again when on sale! A++

    Purchased this to replace a 4TB MyBook. The 8TB Easystore is more responsive and transfers files faster than the old MyBook. I'm very pleased with the 8TB Easystore drive.
