    Needed additional storage on my Xbox, was able to copy content from one console to the new one. It's working great and tons of room for new content.

    I bought this hard drive for my son’s Xbox One. As soon as I plugged it in, the Xbox recognized it and formatted it immediately. We were using it in under five minutes.

    I bought a few of these a few years ago, they are all still performing well. In that same time I had a few seagate go bad, so I'm sticking with WD.

    I rarely have any issues with any WD hard drives . I write zeros to the whole drive a couple times to make sure it does not fail prematurely.

    What can I say, they are WD reds with a lower warranty. Pull them apart and throw them in a NAS. Price on sale is fantastic. Hopefully one day i can replace these with SSDs.

    I bought this for backing-up audio record files. So far, WD 8TB HDD has shown the reliable performance and stability. I would recommend this for backup storage.

    So once I learned from some searching that the WD red drives are installed in the mybook, and confirmed that fact with the some smartctl magic, i was a happy camper.

    I love the WD hard drives, they are so easy to just plug in, move your stuff over and simply store it. Plus BB had a sale so it was worth it at under 200

    I have bought several of these drives, then carefully extracted the internal 8TB (WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0 ) drive for use in my Synology DS918+ NAS. Works great.

    Have an older 4TB model. The 8TB is just as great. Both have been reliable and never missed a beat. Easy to install and use.
