    Very fast usb 3.0 drive. Has WD 8TB Red NAS drive inside. I bought 3. Two went into my WDMyCloud EX4100 NAS as backup drives and the third I am using for offsite external backup. Great drive.

    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.

    This is my forth WD hard drive purchase for back up storage. I stuck with this brand for the last 5 years due to reliability and ease of software set up for locking and automatic back ups.

    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

    This is a huge external hard drive at a great price. 8 terabytes is a ridiculous amount of storage (to me, at least). I've only had it for a couple months, but it seems reliable.

    Great WD Red Drive But Requires Configuration

    I bought this drive because I heard that there was a WD Red drive inside. Long and behold there was. The drive is really quiet but it gets hot when under load. I would recommend putting a fan over it. Plus, you'll need to reconfigure it so that it doesn't go into sleep mode so frequently.

    Working well. Backups run without fail. Size makes placement easy, but runs a little warm so ventilation must be considered.
