    I use this drive for backup and in music production. Works flawlessly and easily, especially with a good backup software. I use Acronis backup software, and between this drive and the software finally have a reliable, easy to use backup solution that I can configure as I want. No Time Machine!

    WD Easystore 8TB provides plenty of space to store all data into a safe one bank. It takes only a few hours to back up all my data from two laptop without any problem or hitch. The software is very easy to follow and with one click the backup process commences automatically.

    I was definitely running out of storage with my other external Hard drives and definitely my internal drive as well. This solved my problem having multiple storage locations for my iTunes library and now it's all in one place and more efficient! Boom.

    Nice having a big easy to use external drive where I can copy over all my files. Not using the WD backup software and don't really plan to. Not a drive I keep connected all the time, just when copying my media and other files. Easy to plug and play movies through my TV too.

    I was rapidly running out of storage for photos and videos, and purchased this WD 8GB external HDD when it went on sale. Very easy to set up and use with Windows 10. Not the fastest drive in the world, but good for storage of less frequently used files.

    Have now bought two for use in Unraid (one as parity). Both were white label drives. They've performed flawlessly up to now. Depending whether they're on sale, probably the best price per TB of any drive of its size. Will probably buy more of them.

    I was able to shuck the drive out of the cash and use it in my NAS with no issues. Shucking the first one takes a while to get used to after that, it became like clockwork knowing where the notches are.

    This is a great deal when discounted as compared to just bare bones 8TB drives, especially for a NAS! If you chuck the case and pull the drive out you will need a 4-pin molex to SATA power adapter for the drive to start up properly.
