Quality External Hard Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the first one I bought for my son. He already owned one. Bought another one in 2020. He shoots and edits a lot of video so needs a large amount of storage space. He's happy with the three that he owns.

Hard drive has been reliable, backup software isn'
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The drive has worked as well as other WD drives, which I believe are generally the best. The backup software today comes with it for Windows isn't that great. I use it but it is probably more trouble than it is worth. The external drive, 8TB, reliable, is good. I wish it came with better backup software since the main reason for me to have this is backups. But if you want to store media, photos, side, etc. It is great.

Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great drive with tons of room. It does a lot of extra stuff automatically but I just went into setup and turned everything off, all the automatic cloud back up or whatever it was doing. I just want to copy files to it. Super easy to do, don't hesitate, great Drive.

Big disk for low price

Large storage capacity
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have several of these. They're reliable. This one is particularly high capacity. The only downsides are its physical size and the fact that it requires an external power source. I prefer drives that are USB powered. It works great though.

Huge Drive with better software
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using the WD Easystore to consolidate multiple smaller hard drives. It is an excellent choice. The drive itself was easy to format for my Mac. It comes with improved WD software that allows for easy management of multiple drives. I liked it so well, I bought two. The second is for backup.

Nice 8TB WD Hard Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love how much I can put on this drive. Hopefully, it lasts longer than the warranty since I will be saving lots of videos on this drive. I switched to Western Digital from Seagate because Seagate 2TB died after less than 14 months and it was not under warranty anymore, so bye bye everything.

Ton of storage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using attached to my router for storing videos and music for Plex and Kodi. Purchased on sale for $130. Good bargain at that price. I was reaching the limit of the 4TB version, This should give some breathing room. I've had it online for about a month with no problems.
