Amazing amount of storage for the price. Plug it in and go. Use it to backup laptop and desktop. Both files and a very large numbers of photos.

I've come to trust these drives after purchasing several for my own use for for work use. I'm a video editor - so they get a LOT of use!

Picked this up for a friend who is a huge stickler for backup devices. He hasn’t said anything negative since I gifted it to him and that means it’s a stellar product.

Needed a new hard drive for storage and for the amount of space and the price range, I say it's a match made in heaven. Reformatted so that it can be used on both Mac and PC.

Was looking for a single-drive storage solution. For the price, this was terrific. There may be faster options out there, but if you just need raw storage, this is a good choice.

Very awesome hard drive i use this for everything and stores all my impostuff on my computer and my games plenty enough storage

I use this to backup my data, this drive works great. Pretty quiet, fast and it wont turn on until its plugged into a USB port. Highly recomend to anyone looking for an external.

This drive has been very reliable. I use it to store and access large amounts of data for research projects and it fast and reliable.

I fill up hard drives like water glasses. WD drives seems to last the longest for me and this one is working so far nice with two partitions in it on my iMac.

So far, this drive has been great. Excellent speed and of course, plenty of capacity. Given how fast USB 3 is, it's indistinguishable from my internal drives. The only negative is that it tends to go into sleep/power save mode rather quickly and takes a little longer than I'd like to wake.

I have bought 2 so far. Shuck WD red's at a fraction of the price. Will get 2 more to fill up the Ds 918+ nas. When they are on sale the price is to good to pass up

This WD drive works great, and the 8 TB capacity allows for plenty of space are a Macintosh Time Machine drive (after reformatting, of course). Recommended.

Loving this hard drive. The very large capacity is really a great feature of this hard drive. Very fast and portable. Looking to buy one more for my sibling.

So far, so good. No issues with a bad drive, no issues writing things to the drive and so much space to back up pictures and videos (esp. as 4K video are pretty gigantic).

I am currently using this drive for media storage attached to a Plex Server. This thing performs very well, and you cannot beat the amount of storage for this price! The only downside is the appearance of the device; I would have preferred something a little easier on the eyes.

I need this to save all my cds in digital form, its easy to use and worth the money

second one I have purchased to back up a server using the "ROBOCOPY" command. speed is pretty good with USB 3.0, and plent of space. It is quiet during operation.

Using this as a NAS attached via my router on a USB 3.0 connection. Flawlessly steams my movies, etc to multiple clients throughout my home without any problems.

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.

Simply an amazing deal for bulk storage when they go on sale (as they often have been). I've purchased multiple of these to take apart and use the drives in a NAS.
