I've been using WD External Hard Drives for years and the technology has improves so you can store 8TBs in the same size as my older unit that has a 500GB capacity.

Bought two of these for use in my unRaid server. They had WD Reds inside and were easy to get out. Fantastic drives!!

For the price this is an excellent hard drive. Lots of space and very easy to format. So far so good.

I play PS4 games on a SSD and this external drive is connect to a PS4 Pro via USB. The games load time from USB Drive isn’t as fast as SSD but very good IMO. It’s probably load as fast as a regular Internal HDD. 8TB serves me very well considering all the things it holds from PS+ Monthly free games and free to play games.

Has been amazing using this as my for my movie streaming server and plex. Eventually I’ll be upgrading to a proper NAS system for that.

Bought two of these and returned both. Temperatures during testing reached 62c in a room that is set to 22c with a ceiling fan. One drive failed smart tests using WD Data Lifeguard Tools. Speed tests were consistent using crystal disk mark on one sample around 220MB/s read and 210MB/s write. The other sample was very inconsistent ranging from 75MB/s to 175MB/s and did not come close to the first sample drive. I used crystal disk info to monitor temperatures and smart raw data. I was not comfortable using the drives as backups for my data and returned them.

Works as expected. Hope it doesn't crash since all of my photos and videos are on it. I look forward to the day that an ssd this large is this cheap.

It servers the purpose it was purchased for, but was difficult to set up/add to my network. Inckuded instructions are poor at best.

Replacement drive for one I purchased in Jan 2020. The previous drive failed in just over two years. Drives made in the mid 2000s used to last about 5 years.

Product works well with transferring data from windows 10 to windows 11. My only complaint is that I wish the instructions were more informative.

Awesome capacity - 8 TB! Additionally, it had WD Red inside, so high quality NAS grade HDD for higher reliability.

Massive HDD, I use this as my backup mass storage. I would recommend this.

Great product. My old finally died. This was a great replacement. Truly Plug & Play.

Amazing amount of storage and not too big either works for all my game systems.

I bought two of these hard drives form Macs. They are working now and seem to be great. The only issue I had on both units was formatting the drives. Both had problems and I had to recover them from other drives to make them usable. So basically they should be made easier to format but once done seem to work fine.
