Simple HDD, great capacity and deal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this HDD on sale, the price for 8TB at the time was a bargain. I have the 4TB version and it functions just the same. It does have some WD software to assist with backups but I simply handle my data manually. Writing to the HDD isn't too bad, I can usually get 80 MB/s on most transfers. Mine are used for archiving data, so I don't access them too often.

Great hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great hard drive for back up. 8TB covers a year of data for me. Easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Storage capacity
Great capacity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friend Worth the bucks
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was going to return it because the speed was really slow transferring files, but the computer I was transferring from was the culprit and once I was able to transfer to a faster computer it worked fine

Best product in this size range
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid construction. Especially around the USB connector.....Have broken several of the USB connectors off of one the OTHER VENDORS drives in this range making the drive useless as it would cost more to repair than to break apart and salvage the drive. THIS DRIVE IS WELL BUILT and performs very well. (Have purchased several.)
