    I am a landscape photographer and I bought this drive to back up a raid that Where I have all of my professional photos Stored. This drive is fast enough and large enough to even store my RAW original files. Highly recommend this drive. Also I have bought some in the past to shuck and install in a raid. They work well in there too.

    great external HD. 8TB is a lot of space. It's a good external back up to my Synology NAS. It can be a little bit loud when it's processing large amount of data.

    Be sure to look online to see if it has a WD Red or White inside. The red can be installed without any problems if you are comfortable with voiding the warranty.

    Great XBox 1s Backup drive

    I bought 2 for my gaming systems. This is a Powered Hard drive and great for meeting the needs of anyone looking to backup Games from an Xbox 1S. Note: Updates may take longer after games are moved because you are backing up at the speed of the USB transfer rate and not just speed from Internet to console. Light on front is constant when on and blinks when in stasis/ idle mode.

    Incredibly easy to use. I don't use the WD software, I just drag and drop because I am very particular about file paths, but for the peace of mind having all of my files, computers, and images backed up, this is a great price. It feels more well built than the other portable drives you can get. Faster speeds thanks to being powered.

    This is a solid product for long time storage. The hard drive alone is three hundred dollars. Word of caution though. Make sure you use the power cord and USB cord that comes with the product. I tried using older power cords from past hard drives. They will fit but do not carry enough current to properly function without errors. So far so good. I highly recommend. Especially when they are on sale

    It’s simple. It’s a hard drive and gets the jobs done. However, if you own a mac, have a usb adapter to accommodate your product.
