    I bought this external hard drive on Black Friday when it was on sale and it was a tremendous amount of storage space for the money I paid for it. Always back-up your stuff, people!

    This drive has been used to back up photos and home videos. Transfer rates are fast and reliable. I haven't had any disconnect or unrecognized issues as with other brands.

    Great Product Have used WESTERN DIGITAL hard drives for over 10 years of continuous everyday use. Have yet to have one fail. I only buy a new one when a larger size is needed.

    I added this specifically for my Xbox One X because of the space requirements on 4K games. This game me plenty of space and works great. I have had a couple of times in which the xbox doesnt recognize it on initial start up but a simple unplug and replug or restart of the console fixes that

    I just moved from 2 4TB to 2 8TB drives for my business workhorse and backup drives. These are easy to set up and use, and the WD tech support is good. They are working flawlessly.

    Great if you have a 500GB PS4 and are tired of erasing and downloading the 8TB external cleared all that up and no longer have to erase a single game.

    This is the lowest price per terabyte storage solution I found. Ideal for write once read many (WORM). It's fast enough to do most of my archiving and streaming. There is a slight vibration whenever it is on, but as long as you put it in a stable spot it should be quiet because of the rubber feet.

    It was nice and spacious. A fine backup. Unfortunately, it cannot handle even small falls onto carpeted surfaces without going bust. That's kind of the nature of the beast when it comes to hard drives, but it's always sad when it happens. Keep a backup of your backup to be safe.

    I partitioned the 8TB drive into 2 4TB volumes so that I can use one just for backups and the other for "freeform" storage. It partitioned easily and works like a charm.

    WD products are simply that. I’m a backup phobe and even with cloud, I want redundancy. Drive is decent size, but hoping WD can take next steps soon for more capacity

    Love it and it works well. Can't beat the price for 8T. I have had Seagate Back plus Drive on my desktop with 3 drive failures in 6 months. A piece of junk. This one is great.
