    I'm getting about 150 MB/s transferring between the two drives I bought, which is great for a spinning disk. We'll see if they hold up long-term, but I have high hopes.

    I bought this on our tax free day and mainly wanted it to run Photoshop Express to process RAW files from my SLR. I love it, it doesn’t get bogged down.

    Ran out of memory on my time machine. This allowed me to expand my backup capability without purchasing a new expensive time machine that's cr_p quality anyway. Reformatting was a little tricky but it works great now. The cost for amount of memory is unbeatable and it's WD!

    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.

    There were no instructions for startup or reformatting so I had a little trouble reformatting for Mac but once I completed that there were no troubles. Backup was easy and pretty fast. We will see how it holds up over time but overall I am pretty pleased with the purchase.

    Bought this for my Xbox one X. I have over 250 games installed on it and it still has 3.5 TB left on it. Loads games very quickly compared to my old 3TB model.

    It's real hard to beat Western Digital for reliable hard drives. The My Store drives use Western Digital's Red series drives so there pretty bullet proof.

    I needed a larger drive to replace a 300 MB drive that was full. I'll use it for travel, taking a limited amount of files, and use this one as my main storage.

    8gb is plenty of space for most home users. The USB 3.0 is a "Superspeed" port and was able to transfer our home videos very quickly for secure storage.
