    We use this WD Easystore for backups for three computers: two desktops and one laptop, which we use in different ways for different projects. This Easystore External HD takes care of all our needs to protect and save our work, and we can use different backup programs for saving. The HD is swift, easy to use, quiet and it performs perfectly. We highly recommend this WD Easystore as an extrenal HD we know you will be happy you purchased.

    I used to purchase Seagate drives only but am finding that they fail at a pretty high rate. Over the years I 've had 6 or 7 die and lost data. The WD drives don't seem ot have that problem and the price is very competitive.

    It's good it works and it wasn't expensive. It's not super fast ... but I am used to using SSD's which are very fast.

    Drives are great stand alone Personal Clouds but if you are building a NAS, you can shuck the drives out and use them in your NAS. They are apparently, WD Red Drives with TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) from Thailand with 256MB Cache. At Half price on sale, You could save a bundle while building your Media Server or Personal Cloud,

    I needed to expand my backup storage, these 8tb WD drives were ideal. Never imagined hard drive prices as low as $20 a TERABYTE?
