    Western Digital drives are definitely my primary options for storage. They are extremely reliable without breaking the bank. Inside this unit you will either find a WD Red or a "white" version, which apparently is a Red with an OEM tag.

    Works great so far with either the USB hookup or even better after shucking the drive out of the enclosure. Will fit perfectly into a NAS or PC with a little elbow grease. Search for the DataHoarder sub on Reddit to find guides on how to make the best of your new drive!

    Best Value in Storage

    While I have not have the hard drive long enough to speak to its reliability (really, no one has until a few years after using it), the value is there. There is a WD Red drive in this, which is the best possible for always on storage for things such as an NAS and storing your video/pictures/audio. At the price it was on sale, you can't pass it up -- or shouldn't.

    I'm not sure if all external hard drives behave the same way but I have 3 Western Digital that goes to sleep too quickly. Other than that, no issues.

    Bought this to use as extended storage for my PS4, and I love it. It has not failed and gives me the additional punch that I couldn’t get by replacing the hard drive in the PS. It appears to play well with the PS4, anytime the power is lost, the PS4 discovers the extended storage and “fixes” it with no issues whatsoever.
