    I had ordered a 2 TB internal drive from Dell and the virus hit so they couldn't deliver. I canceled that order and found this 8TB external drive at Best Buy for less money. Boy am I glad I did. Everything I needed came with it and I was up and running in seconds. It is quiet and fast and just sits out of the way and does its job. I highly recommend this drive.

    I use this as a back up, not as a primary storage device. The drive is nice and works well, but I couldn't get the backup software to work. It was upgrading from an older version of HP software and I haven't been able to get it to work right since the initial installation/upgrade failed. But the drive works fine, looks good, and provides plenty of storage.

    Western Digital drives have always been reliable for me. Plug and play. I would recommend using the WD drive utilities software to remove the built-in sleep timer if you are doing long transfers. A good value. I recommend it and would purchase again.
