    I've got a few of these, and couldn't be happier! They run fast, quiet, and cool...keeping in mind they aren't high speed 7200RMP drives.

    With 8TB of storage, it should be enough for my need. At this price it is also reasonable to get a pair of drives and make a mirror of your data

    I’ve been using this WD 8tb external drive for almost two years now. I use it for backup purposes using the included backup software on my windows computer. I’ve had flawless performance and it’s good knowing my data and photos are backed up. I use a cloud backup as well.

    The Summary says it all. Moreover, you can take these out of the housings and use them as internal drives. We've bought several of them.

    I already have one of these at home, so when I saw these were marked down during a flash sale I decided to get another one. WD hasn't let me down before, and it's very hard these days to find external storage that requires a power supply, which I prefer. Speeds are good and price per size on a sale is a very good deal.

    I needed this for work - my current external drive was filling up and couldn't hold any more back-ups. I went big to be sure I wouldn't have to do this again for a while. This was easy to set up and now my computer back-ups have a new home. I always head for Western Digital for external drives. Have had really good luck with them.
