    I bought this 'beast' to use on my Xbox One X. Just plug and play. Very fast, silent. If you are looking for extra space this is the one. Price also was really important.

    Been a fan of WD externals for some time. This beast doesn’t disappoint. It is now my storage base of choice for music and rotating backups.

    On sale for $130 each. Shucked them and put into Synology NAS. Virtually identical to WD Red drives at almost 2X the cost. Ran extensive testing. Works GREAT !!!

    This was my 4th one of these drives. All work great. I bought all of them on sale, not all at once but over the last year. I use them for Plex and back-up.

    This is an excellent drive. Inside are WD Reds or White Label Reds, which are top quality drives. This drive when on sale is an excellent price / performance-quality ratio.

    There's plenty of storage to keep everything stored and backed up. It's a bit bulky to work with, and strangely this one is not as fast as couple other drives I have of the exact same type and model. The actual hard drive inside these models might vary, so it's a hit-or-miss.

    My only wish I waited a couple days and would have purchased the 10TB for only $10 more. Drive works as expected, should be able to save years worth of back-ups.

    Good 8TB Storage has independent power source-not usb that puts less demand on your computer. However between usages it does require a few seconds to spin up and ready.

    My son plays a lot of video games online, which uses a lot of storage. This was reasonable and he is now able to keep all his games accessible for use.

    I bought this for the X0X and I don't expect to ever have to buy additional hard drive space within the next 20 years. If I do I'll go buy another one of these 8 terabytes.
