    Rarely utilize it other than transferring media backups to it. Not the fastest drive I ever used, but it's just storage so who even cares about speed?

    I actually shucked this drive to get the 8TB Red inside. It works perfectly, and was much cheaper than buying separately.

    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

    Quit working within 16 months. Lost my data and had to buy a new backup drive. Additionally, the cable port was very flimsy, and never stayed connected, making ongoing backups impossible without manually doing them.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi LeahW, We're sorry to hear that the drive did not meet your expectations. That's certainly not the experience we aim to offer. We understand how frustrating data loss and connection issue can be. We would like the chance to make it right. Please reach out to our support team by opening a ticket at (https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb) so we can look into it and explore a possible replacement (if needed) or a solution for you.
