    I needed a boost and I have to say this is really good if you are using it for video games. Really well constructed.

    Reliable hard drive for storage. I didn't need any high speeds but wanted a drive for storage for my gaming console. It works perfectly for that so I'd recommend picking one up if you need it and don't care that it requires power and is a little larger.

    Added this 8tb bad boy to my PS4 hard drive so I wouldn't have to delete and (re)download games onto the main hard drive or a smaller one. Won't be as fast as the SSD I put in the system, but good for the extra games I don't play as often.

    This drive is definitely sizable. I have purchased many of these and so far, so good. If you plan on shucking these, keep in mind the drives probably are sata v 3.3 which means if your power supply is not 3.3 compliant, you will have to use a molex to sata power adapter. I found out the hard way.

    This drive has been up and running since I bought it around 7 months ago with no problems at all. Wish I would have bought a couple since the cost of the guys fluctuates quite offend. When it goes back down to what I paid for it last, or cheaper I hope, I'll pick up a couple of more to put in my NAD.

    I purchased this hard drive to store data from my old laptop as the laptop was on its last leg. So simple to use as it is a plug and play external drive. I was done transferring a lot of data in less time than I anticipated! I have peace of mind knowing I have my important data in a safe place!

    I snagged this on sale during Black Friday, and it's been great so far. I needed something to store backup copies of data on; because as they say, data you don't have backed up is data you don't care about losing!! We'll see how it holds out, but the drive inside is reportedly very highly rated!

    WD Red 8tb at less than retail

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As many others have said, inside the enclosure is an 8tb WD Red that is relatively easy to remove and is significantly cheaper than its retail price. The drive itself is a little louder than the WD blues that I have but it’s transfer speeds are better and these drives have a good reputation for reliability.

    Similar to all previous WD larger (physical size) external USB drives but with much larger capacity. I use it for GIANT backups of entire laptop system, including "offline" videos and photos that I don't want to take up space of laptop. I also use multiple PASSPORT drives for everyday backup with redundancy.
