It was very easy to setup. It took a while to copy all 3 internal drives. It also showed some files not copied. Called WD and they quickly told me some operating system files will not copy. They sent me a list of those file. Great service from WD

Got at good price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!°°°°°°°°°°°!!!!!!

I had to buy a larger hard drive to consolidate my family photos that where spread over multiple hard drives. The sale price on the drive was perfect timing. I have had very good experience with western digital hard drives.

It is very small and compact. Although it is USB 3.0 my machine takes longer to fetch data from this drive than it does my 12 year old Iomega 1TB external drive. This is the first 8TB drive I have ever owned our used so I do not have anything to compare it to. I suspect all extra large drives move quite a bit more slowly in Window File Explorer.

Purchase, shuck, repeat. The HDD included was a WD White Label. Not a problem for me. Much cheaper than purchasing a WD Red at same density from other vendors. Works well in a NAS enclosure after shucking the drive out of the external enclosure.

I've used this several times to backup most of the data on my LAN. The unit worked without a problem, was not load and didn't become hot. Very happy with the result.

I bought this just in time. My 2 TB internal hard drive was almost full and was on its last leg. I bought this huge external hard drive and was able to transfer all my iTunes music and movies. Won’t be running out of storage for a very long time

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.

This is truly a great hard drive from Westgate. I currently have three of them. I’ve got the 1st one now over a year and half. It’s been running I’d say every single day since I got it and it works perfectly

Good amount of storage and it's reasonably quick. The software installs quickly (if you have an interest in using it, there's not a requirement to do so) and lets you run back ups, update firmware, etc. I bought 4 and I'm very happy with the value of them.

A great price point for an 8gb hard drive. I use this to archive my files. I don't know how well it works as an external. I took it a part and used it as an internal sata drive. It was cheaper to buy it this way, and I got an extra USB cable.

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.

Bought This Drive On Sale, It was the same price as the 4TB version regular price. Works as expected so far, it is USB 3.0 and a lot faster than older 2.0 and comes with backup software that seems to work although I have not tried to restore from a backup yet

Hopefully you grabbed one of these door busters was great deal on very large drive.

I had to back up a 4 Drive Raid array to reuse those drives in a WD NAS Raid array. (Plex server). So I needed 16TB's above what I already had in hand to back up. All went well. These will probably be plugged in to the new NAS as USB additional drives.

WD has gotten better. Years ago I used to avoid WD drives in general but since BB stopped carrying most other brands except WD in the local stores I've begun using them again and they seem to be pretty good now.

This external hard drive is easy to set up and start using. It has quiet operation.

Very quiet external hard drive and seems to run quite cool despite the enclosure not having an internal fan. Since it is a Western Digital product, the WD freeware version of TruImage software works with it!

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.

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.
