Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: Reasonable transfer speed with usb 3.0; value of money Cons: Bulky, needs external power.

got it when it was on sale, shucked and works well on my nas. it was white label drive. fyi not to connect the 3.3v wire.

He for my xbox since the old 2gb was getting a little small. Does what they'd was supposed to do

Love it, works great and now I have over 750 movies on it and over 10,000 songs and still have about 3 TB of space left.

Easy to set up in Windows 10 environment. Backup seems to work

Grabbed this on sale. Just what I was looking for to backup a number of pocket external drives that I carry for work and school. No issues yet...does what it is suppose to do.

It depends is the second one or the first one that I bought.

Quick and easy set up. Reliable and quiet. Best part is drive goes to sleep with a slow blinking light to let you know it is in sleep mode

This was a good value. I feel it's important to have your data backed up because you never know when your hard drive will crash.

Best price hands down. I ordered online once from another store and it was broken, nice to pick this up locally and know no parts are loose inside the box.

I purchased this just for my ps 4 pro. Now I can just down load the games I want, works great for those flash sales on mini games. It plugs into one of the controller ports.

I've had the drive for a year now and have had zero issues. Good read/write speeds and simple 'plug & play'. Will buy more when I need the additional storage.

I bought this drive on sale for $130 with every intention to take it apart and use it as an internal drive. To my surprise it will not so much as spin when plugged in as an internal drive. Not recognized in bios at all. I’ve taken my toile external hard drives apart in particular the 4tb WD My Book. I’ve taken 3-4 of them apart and they work just fine. The main reason for doing so is because generally those boxes have WD reds in them so if I catch one on sale I can get a normally $150-160 hard drive for $100. Just overall disappointed that this didn’t work.

These drives are finally getting large enough to do me for my data caches that must sync with Dropbox for Business. Greater hosting backup, and fast enough to work just fine.

These drives are ~5400 RPM "white label" WD Red drives in a non-encrypting enclosure. They work great in the enclosure and they're awesome for "shucking" to use in a big fat RAID array. Be aware that the enclosure has a sleep timer that will put the drive to sleep after a certain amount of time; if you try to run a SMART long test it will abort once the enclosure sends the sleep command to the drive for you. The lack of encryption means that an enclosure board failure doesn't render all data on the drive unusable which is a major advantage of these over the WD My Book etc. series drives.

I have used WD drives for several years. I have purchased many of them over the last few years. This drive is a great value since the drive inside is a WD Red drive so this drive is built with reliability. WD Red has features such as NAS compatibility, increased reliability and more.

Easy to connect - I forget it's even hooded up to the docking station. Good value - no issues. Yes, I would purchase another one.

This drive is fast and quiet. One thought - it would benefit from multiple 3.0 USB, currently on one PC, but as an 8TB, should be able to connect to at least two PC's.

Not much to say except that it’s a ton of storage space for a small price. I run a small business that deals with large video files and this is a nice backup.

Bought a few of these for puttinf into my unraid server and they’ve been working great.
