    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.

    My family and I always take a lot of pictures and videos. We used many flash drives to save all our memories, but our problem got solved when we bought this hard drive. Now we feel free to still taking more pictures and videos, and not to worry about the space in our devices.

    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.

    This external hard drive is pretty cool as it includes a RED drive. Its Western Digitals NAS drive with would last for a very long time. I wish they had the 5-Year Warranty but I guess as long as it works, you won't need it. Also, WD needs to start switching to USBC.

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

    The WD 8 TB external harddrive is great. I have a 6 TB and an 8 TB external harddrive, and I alternate between then when I back up a minimum of twice a week. Then I keep both of them in a safe in my kitchen. There are two kinds of people: those who backup regularly and those who wish they had backed up.

    i use this as a complete backup of data and files from my pc and it's working well still after 2 years. it's much faster than the external hard drives that get powered only by the USB port. it's less portable but it's great for backing up large amounts of files in less time

    I've been using WD hard drives for years. This hard drive had the white label drives and I shucked them to use in a 4 drive NAS. I also have two others still in the enclosures that I use for backing up the NAS system images. I'm waiting for these to go on sale again and use them for a DVR system I'm working on.
