I bought this to replace a failed Seagate 8 TB external drive and so far it's working well. Wish I had gone ahead and purchased 2 since it was on sale! Time will tell whether this one outlasts the Seagate.

This is my second external storage purchase. I have one for both of my kids gaming systems. This holds much more than the system makers offer and the cost is way lower. You won't go wrong purchasing this item.

I have two of these. One for the PS4 and one for Xbox One. They work flawlessly and I’d recommend them to anyone with either console.

used to be cheaper, and better drive till a year ago. they keep changing what drive is used.

Excellent for the price. It is very conveniento add extra storage to your computer or console. A little big to travel with it, but for extra storage it is perfect.

Some of my other external hard drives work only with certain versions of windows. This external HD can be read by all of my computers; some of which are over 10-years old. Easy to use. It is just plug and play.

This powered External HDD from WD is a solid and stable performer for my video editing needs. Was on a great sale, too! Just format it when you get it so you don’t have to deal with it’s reinstalled stuff.

I bought this to expand the space for my Xbox One X, works as advertised, the only negative compared to my previous is the need for a wall power adapter.

I actually purchased these to install in a Synolgy NAS. Once the drive arrived it was opened up and used in the NAS. Even though they were the WD White Drives they worked perfectly in the device and I saved about $120 by doing this.

This unit is so simple to use. Plug in attach to your PC and use. The speed of use is only limitted by your computer, not the drive. I have used it to back up our computers data including photos and store it off site.

Easy to install and it’s got a lot of space for a decent price

I bought this external storage drive on sale and combined it with a new Lima Ultra to create my own personal home cloud. Fast set-up as soon as I plugged it into the network. I'm very happy with the response time on both my MacMini and Surface Pro.

have not used it yet, but looking forward to getting my storage organized!

I've been using this for about a month and have had experience with another external drive by this brand and have had continued excellent performance. I have no reason to believe this unit will perform any less effectively.

My old laptop was struggling and i was worried i would lose my files so I purchases this to keep them safe. So much space! It is just wonderful and my old laptop is still hanging on now that i have cleaned it up.

The purchase of this drive, with it's ease in shuckability, is still going strong nearly 2 years later. Be warned, this drive is a gateway to going full NAS in your home. Looking to go to 64TB by end of 2020 at this rate.

There is the cloud there are thumb drives but to me the only way to back up your computer is to use the WD external hard drive. have it at home or on the road the internet is not always there for you to use but the WD is.

Easy to install external hard drive that provides 8 TB of extra storage.

With a hard drive this size and this price i really dont mind the fact that it needs external power and that its not powered by the USB, and since i travel alot its also awesome that the ac adapter input range is so huge. Definitley worth

Great way to back up all the photos and videos that we have of the family
