    I bought one about a year ago to use in my Plex server for storing media. After copying my files onto the external drive, I ended up shucking the internal drive and installing it into my machine directly. It's been running so well since then, I picked up another one a month or so ago again. Been a Western Digital user for over 20 years now, and they all have not let me down. It's not as fast as the 7200rpm drives, but is perfect for a high capacity storage drive!

    Couldn't pass up an great deal like this, a WD RED 8TB 3.5 7200RPM for $160 on sale.. its great.. took it home, ran a few scan to ensure the HDD integrity, everything checked out so now it houses my home movie/music collection, which is accessible on almost every device on the network with free universal media server running in the background on my Win10 laptop. Speed is decent, only connection is USB3.0 & gets transfers around 80MB-100MB/sec on a WD 1TB 2.5 SSHD FTW
