This will hold my photos and music for quite a while. A note to Mac users: my Mac suddenly told me that the contents were OK but that the Mac could not access them. Then I noticed the same message with my backup hard drive and with another HD. Pieces on the internet report that the issue seldom is with the hard drives and not to write them off. Someday soon I hope to get it all to work.

Plug and play, doesn’t even need any special software. Had this hard drive up and running within minutes of purchase. Very fast transfer rates as well.

I bought a very good WD hard drive at a very low cost. Performance is best.

Bought this to back up/hoard a bunch of files. I got it while it was on sale. Couldn’t beat the price per TB. I have no issues or concerns With this drive. Works as advertised and the quality is fine. The usb cable could be a little longer for sake of storing this out of sight but otherwise no issues.

It does the job well - the transfer speeds are surprisingly faster than we anticipated. We are using it with our Xbox 1S. It does have some noise, though - if you are looking for an ultra quiet hard drive, this may not be the droid you're looking for.

Haven’t used it yet haha, bought it, good price, reputable brand. I have high expectations

It is the best for the money and you can put a password on it for security.

Pretty simple, I dj part time and found it at a great price, works great.

We chose this hard drive for the memory capacity and the reasonable price.

Great and reliable. Western digital red drive. Perfect for backing up.

This item was recommended by a good friend in the IT industry. It has turned out to be a great investment!

So far I have performed about 7TB of writes and used used this external drive daily doing both reading and writing. It's mostly filled up now. It has performed flawlessly and the performance seems good to me. No problems at all.

Great compatibility with PS4 and easy to setup. Fast and quiet. The end.

Purchased this for my son for Christmas who is a PC gamer to expand his storage and let him download more games. It worked great and was easy to install.

I am a bit crazy and I use this as a back up for my backup. Overall great quality and it works well. Just wished it would also come with a USB-C cable.

Fast and stable so far. Using as media storage and works well on USB 3.

Most of these drives are actually WD Red drives which are excellent drives. From what I've found you can tell if it's a red drive by the AC adapter I"m assuming this is because of the factory they come out of. if the plug is sideways then it is a red if it is regular it is not.

So easy to use...just plug it in, and move files onto it. Love the 8 TB size.

A quick and easy shuck and some kapton tape to block pin 3 and blammo, my server had an additional 8TB of storage to play with. Watch these for sales and grab one for easy storage. The device by itself is great too, stable storage for those who need a little more room but don't have the ability to add the drive in their computer.

Great speed, quiet, and tons of memory for my video games
