    This is fast and holds a lot of docs & pics. I’ve copied all the stuff off my laptop and now it’s free to run faster. I can still access all my data too. Win win!!

    Purchased this to add to my collection of WD My Book Drives...it doesn't disappoint. This external HD drive will be beyond enough to safely store your precious media or data. For under $200...you can't lose.

    Great product and it was $129. I connected this hard drive through usb to my Netgear router and I’m using it as a shared drive in my home network. Not bad deal for what I’m using it for.

    PCWorld advises the avg 2-hour movie takes up about 5 GB space at 1080p, making this monster drive able to hold 160 high definition movies. Pretty impressive!

    I have bought a few external WD hard drives for storage and back up purposes. This 8Gb drive allowed me to get rid of all the other ones I have and use only this one. No issues with the drive at all

    Got this hard drive during a sale and what a bargain. Pros: Large capacity and decent transfer speeds of large contiguous files. Cons: It goes to sleep when inactive and takes a few seconds to wake up.

    Video uses a lot of memory and this external hard drive is a good solution to store and back up files. The drive has solved this ongoing problem for projects at a very reasonable cost.

    I used to use the MyBook 8TB on my Xbox One X, but there was always a spin-up time after the Xbox booted. With this, as soon as my gamer profile is ready so are the games on the EasyStore.

    Not good for Xbox One X

    I bought this external HD to help free up space on my Xbox One X, and it works great for that. The problem occurs when trying to play games from the external drive. I had to reinstall Call of Duty WWII back onto the internal Xbox One X hard drive, just so that I can play it without it glitching out and shutting down on me.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
