    You really can't find a better value when it comes to adding drive space. This is my 5th one of these, a. D as long as the price remains competitive, I will keep coming back when I need more space

    More than 6 months of trouble-free daily backups. Lots of capacity for the price. Doesn't come with a USB-C adapter but you probably don't need one for a desktop drive.

    The WD easystore 8TB external hard drive worked well. It is slower than expected.

    I have 2 other WD 4TB drives that are used to backup 2 computers. I bought this drive to extend my storage capacity and so far it's functioning as expected. I will probably purchase a second 8TB drive in the near future.

    I bought this drive when it was on sale and I'm glad I did. I have it backing up anything new on my system at a daily set time, and have had zero problems with it. Mine came with a WD Red drive inside, so I know it will last.

    I wasn't sure it would work.. I googled all over and could not get a definitive yes or no... but I loaded it up with hundreds of uncompressed DVD and Bluray movies and TV series and they play flawlessly.. with room to spare.

    This is a great external hard drive, automatically backs up all of the files I chose, and at the time I prefer. Works great for keeping all my important files copied in another drive just in case the main drive dies

    I use this external hard drive with a Mac for Time Machine backups. It works great. I haven't had any problems. I needed to format the drive on the Mac prior to use, but that was easy using the Mac's "Disk Utility" app.

    I bought two of these and took the WD Red NAS drives out of them. One went into my Mac Pro, the other in my backup 4-bay drive box. They work great. And I was able to put other drives in the cases to use for other purposes.

    This drive holds a huge amount of information. Have had no problems with the drive and if I had need would not hesitate in purchasing another. Only drawback I've found is that it only supports USB connection and not eSATA3.

    Like many have mentioned here before, the inside of this unit contains a bare Red or White WD 8tb Drive. I've purchased several of these and added them to a NAS. Great performance and even better price for the size.

    I bought this for my PS4 and I’m not disappointed. I don’t have any loading or lagging issues. I have over 300 games downloaded and still about 2Tb remaining. Great for someone that owns all digital games like myself.

    Don't pay over $150 for this. The ones in the cellophane are the ones for shucking. The boxes with the tape dots are whites but may be ok. Keep the shells, they can be reused for other HDDs if desired.

    Do a lot of gaming and need the extra storage. Now I can just leave my system in rest mode and do all the updates when I’m away. It’s been such a time saver.
