Great hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice large reliable hard drive! So far so good. I use it as intended as an external hard drive but I believe many people like to pull the drive out and throw it in a PC. It works well for my use case.

Best value for money
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 3rd 8TB HDD. I have 0 complaints. Cheap, quiet and they help me increase my media collection. Best bargain around. I'm confident they will survive those temperatures within the warranty period (2 years), but it's been tested and proven that hard drives do not do so well in terms of longevity with temperatures in excess of 40c. If you do shuck them, they run very cool; and you don't even have to install them internally. Just popping off the outer casing, and running a small fan on top keeps temperatures within 32-36c.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The performance aligns with expected standards, enabling the efficient backup of a variety of files, including videos and photographs from main computers. Nevertheless, the transfer speed from the easystore unit to other computers is relatively slow, akin to that of numerous external hard drives. In summary, I would confidently recommend this product to my business colleagues.

Great value per terabyte
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Able to reach 165MB/s on continuous read and write on a USB 3.0 connection, these drives are incredibly fast for data archiving purpose or for adding storage to the Xbox One and PS4 family of consoles. Fanless, quiet, uses external power of 12v/2A (wall wart design does not obstruct bottom receptacle when plugged directly to an AC wall receptacle) and designed to stand vertically. You will risk overheating if you lay them down horizontally and then stack something on top of it, like another WD easystore, as there are no vents on the broad sides of the plastic housing. Model reviewed are for boxes labeled "DCM: MGBJRCK", are a Product of Thailand, and contain drive model WD80EFAX.

Great Price....falls short of a "Best Buy"
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great buy for the price. It was easy to set up, and easy to use. I think the AC power is the only thing they should do away with. If it is supposedly portable; Why isn't it just a plug and play without having to seek a outlet??? This would be a total "Best BUy" if you didn't need an outlet, but I gave it 5 stars anyway.

Decent overall performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent external drive. Bought one last year and had no issue. Quiet and cool even under heavy load. Drive actually spins at 7200 despite being a 5400 class drive, so if you shuck for NAS use, it will run a little hotter and suck more power

Great value if you shuck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This drives appear on a very low price every now and then. Great option if you shuck them (disassemble them) and use the internal drive for your NAS storage. Drive normally is a WD RED model.
