    Inside is a Western Digital Red Enterprise hard drive. I bought one on sale over the holidays and it was about half the price of the comparable drive without the enclosure. I don't leave it powered on all the time. I primarily use it I for redundant backups.

    These went on sale for $160 that means you can have a terabyte of space for only $20 dollars. If someone had told me that 5 years ago I would of laughed at them. When on sale these drives are a steal definitely pay attention to B.B. sales and grab when you can.

    Good product, Windows 10 issues

    Very good product. With USB 3.0 the write speed is adequate for an external drive. My only issue and reason for not giving 5 stars is that no matter what I do, no matter what settings I change, the drive is constantly going to sleep. It seems to be more related to Windows 10 than to the drive, as it doesn't do this with my Linux machine.

    After 2 years of intermittent use (used mostly as a backup device for main system drives), no problems to report. Device worked nicely out of the box and continues to work flawlessly and as expected.

    The easystore 8TB hard drive is a fast hard drive reaching 170MB/s when writing data to the disk. It's ideal to store large files such as 4K video files made by cameras or large photo files. The hard drive is plug and play so it's ready to go out of the box.

    works great as expected. Took a bit of work to get formatted correctly for Mac & PC (exFat). but just needed to download quick formatting tool from WD and was all set. Support was great in helping out as well. Bought a second one that formatted without issue.

    I purchased this for my wife to replace the 3 TB drive that she uses to back up her documents. Not only did I increase her backup storage, she no longer complains about how slow her backups are. She is really happy with the speed of the drive.

    I was looking to purchase this for very large seismic data sets. I was prepared to buy one for its value and dependability but then realized it was on sale so I doubled down and bought two. Great product for those with large data swapping and back-up needs.
