    I am quilter and enhance my quilts with embroidery. I have many designs from many different vendors. The external hard drive stores and acts as a back up for my designs. In addition, it does the same for the thousands of pictures I have of my kids, grandkids and projects.

    I trust the Western Digital products. I have a few of these external drives including passports, but I needed a main external drive for just about everything I have done. This big 8TB external drive is just what I needed for ample storage of video and music files. Works great with Mac as time machine backup ! Not a solid state drive but very affordable for the amount of storage.

    On sale these things are fantastic. You can shuck them and throw them into a PC for internal storage. Great if you're building a NAS on sale.

    I've used WD hard drives before and, even when they eventually fail (and they all will), they stand behind their guarantees. And the Geek Squad is a great back up to that as well.

    I no longer have to decide what to keep and what to let go of: 5TB of memory! I don't have to worry if I remembered to save my work: it does it for me. A great product

    Surprisingly quiet for an HDD

    I bought this one because my old 3TB external HDD (Seagate Expansion Desktop) broke down. It has been working pretty well for the past three weeks, writing peaks at about 180MB/s and reading peaks at about 190MB/s. One thing I like about it is that it's a lot quieter than the old one, I know because I put it on my desktop, about 15 inches away from my head.
