    I needed a extra external HD for my files. Works well. Not as fast. But it's fast enough for what I need it for.

    Got this on sale and the value for what I got is excellent. I was able to plug it in and start using it immediately. Don't bother with using any of the WD Smartware stuff that it comes with. You should be able to start dragging files back and forth right away. Using this on an old Windows 7 PC that was upgraded to Windows 10 last year.

    Great Hard Drive With Western Digital Red Inside

    I cracked this guy open and took out the drive and put it in a Drobo (NAS). There is a Western Digital Red drive inside which are great for a NAS. The drive was much cheaper to get this way than it was to buy directly. I also used the enclosure with my sister's old hard drive to her old computer so she could pull off the files she cared about. Great drive, still going strong!

    Was going to return it because the speed was really slow transferring files, but the computer I was transferring from was the culprit and once I was able to transfer to a faster computer it worked fine

    Bought this HDD on sale, the price for 8TB at the time was a bargain. I have the 4TB version and it functions just the same. It does have some WD software to assist with backups but I simply handle my data manually. Writing to the HDD isn't too bad, I can usually get 80 MB/s on most transfers. Mine are used for archiving data, so I don't access them too often.

    Bought these on sale during Black Friday/Christmas and the price per TB was fantastic. I don't care to much for the design of the case but they work great.
