    I have long been a fan of WD external hard drives. This 8 TB model does not disappoint. Easy to set up and use. Love it!

    Okay 8 TB at such a low price? You can't do better than that. USB 3.0 for fast transfers and a solid hard drive internally that's not junk. This is a great buy!

    We are using this device to add to our personal library of music and films. The price for this item was excellent. The quality was also very good.

    The clerk told me this unit could be used as a wireless unit through my router. That is incorrect - it must be directly connected to the computer when in use. With that being the only problem, the storage unit itself has worked very well so far and is very useful.

    A lot of storage for a reasonable price. Use it for back up storage it is a little large compared to others I have had.

    This seemed like a good value at the sale price for 8TB. From my understanding, the innards are a WD red drive, which is high quality.. Hoping it lasts a long time

    I had a 4tb USB 2.0 drive and upgraded to this 8tb USB 3.0 drive. The speed difference is amazing, and I now have another 4tb of space to fill up!

    If all you own are digital games, this drive will be able to store all of your games on it. It's a must have for PS4 owners.

    I hooked this up to my PS4 and have so much more room to download games and things to. The drive itself is the WD Red and is worth more than the whole package

    I bought this drive to serve up files on my Plex server. The USB 3.0 is adds great speed and no latency whatsoever with large media files streaming from the drive.

    I use as my external storage for my iMac 512GB SSD. Easy to set up; just plug n play with the Mac. My only critique is sometimes the Mac is a little slow recognizing it when I'm looking for a file. otherwise it works as needed.
