    Nice product, held a good bit of storage but returned when a larger version went on sale for nearly the same price. Also had issues using with PS5 due to the consoles bugs

    I bought this in a black Friday deal. Using for MAC, since I couldn't afford buying MAC with large storage. It expanded the Laptop storage. The only issue here is, it is not portable. You also have to connect to power every time you use it. Little bit noisy when it starts working. Still a lot more storage for this price point.

    Not what I thought it would be

    Got these on sale in Nov 2017, expecting these to have the WD Red drives in them. Bought 4 of them and had nothing but problems with them. Opened them up and they did not have the red drives in them. I was pretty disappointed. 600+$ down the drain. Tried using as is with the enclosure and had a ton of issues with my OS X computer. I will probably return the 2 that I didn't open yet and try to recoup some money from this.

    I was looking for a 8TB hard drive for long for my desktop and finally bought this hard drive during the Best Buy Black Friday in July at a very great price. This is exactly what I need for my desktop. Highly recommended.

    Bought this external USB hard drive back in 2018. Still works like a charm in late Oct. 2019. Lots of storage space and quick and easy access with the plug in power cord and plug in usb cord.

    These and the 10TB drives are great. You can often get these on sale and they are ideal to shuck and then placed in a NAS for backups. At this size the average person could backup multiple computers

    My primary purpose for this device was to backup my iTunes library (120,000 songs) and my Windows Media library. It fit the bill with. The USB 3.0 capability really helped expedite the backup process.

    The drive inside mine is a WD80EZAZ, so my results below may vary from yours, if yours has a different model inside. Noise and thermals are fine, both in its case and transplanted to a SFF desktop. It does support PWDIS, aka has "the 3.3 volt issue," which only people who shuck need to know and plan around. It's CMR, not SMR, so it won't bog down ridiculously when the cache is full. Helium-filled, so I don't expect it to last more than five years, but that's still over twice the warranty period.
