    I needed enough space to keep my pictures. I needed to back them up, too. So, I bought two!

    I bought a few of these WD external drives to be used as backup drives. I've been very happy so far. I've been using WD "My Book" external drives for about ten (10) years and haven't had any issues. After about 3-4 years I replace them just to avoid keeping them too long and maybe eventually failing. Just a precautionary replacement.

    Mine had a white label WD inside. Great for use in a NAS! Pretty easy to shuck, plenty of youtube videos out there. If you do, the extra pin issue can also be solved with a cheap molex-sata adapter, seems to cut it out without major issue with the small tape or surgery to the drive.

    After doing tons of research online, I decided to purchase two of these drives for my personal media server. After watching a couple videos online, I was able to shuck the drives and put them in a tower. They've been working great since! I got these on sale for almost half of what a WD Red 8TB drive costs at other retailers.

    I purchased for a sole time machine and LR catalog backup. It is very easy to partition into multiple drives and the transfer speed is better than a USB only external. The best part is that it contains a Western Digital Red HDD inside which cost more than this entire unit if purchased separately! Great for backups,gaming, and steaming.

    WD is a quality brand when it comes to data storage. I couldn't believe it was only $150 for 8TB of storage. I actually bought two of them. Being a professional photographer/videographer, it's important to have quality backup drives for your work. I've been using WD drives for over a decade now and I've been very happy with them.

    Hard products are different depending on the merchandise. It may be red or white, but it's a really good deal for the price.
