    Easy to install, provides more than enough storage for my present needs, but I remember thinking when I bought my first 100 meg drive how I would never fill it.

    Great drive and even better price! I have a ton of these and the 10s in my server. They are quite reliable and I'll buy more in the future.

    8tb is nice for an Xbox one user who has games pass the 4K files are big and gives you way more than enough room to download what you like

    Best hard drives on the market bar none. I use this as a backup and have never had a problem. Had used seagate drives in the past but had way to many failures.

    If you do not need or have a NAS at the moment, I would still recommend buying this and use the Red drive inside. Buy 3 or more and get the best of Red drives.

    I bought it in January to replace a WD drive that was about 4 years old - my drives usually make it about 5 years or so. Got a MyBook and it died in 3 days. I shrugged with a "manufacturing defects happen" thought. I went to the store to return and repurchase and I noticed that this one was discounted... and was still WD - "the best brand out there" - so I jumped on it! Worked GREAT, so I budgeted to afford another full-price one at the 6-month mark, to have a mirror of this drive. At the 4 month mark it just... died. I was in the middle of reading a muti-TB file and... poof. It went very quiet, made a few clicks, then quiet... and that was the end of 6TB of my data going back to the late 90s. Thankfully I (mostly) have my previous drive's data, and some stuff in the cloud. The one thing I don't have anymore: confidence in Western Digital products. They bit me twice in a row so they're done accessing my wallet.

    My 8TB Easystore is not blazing fast, or I'd have given it 5 stars... but, honestly, I did not expect it to be. Just functional and reliable. So far, it has been that. It was a good value, and I'm still happy with it.

    This drive is much more quiet than my newest drive that was that was a 8 tb Western Digital also. It looks like the old one with the light on it. Works Great!

    One of the best 8 TB drives you can get. Verified to have the "Red NAS" model that is highly sought after. Very reliable, suited for heavy duty 24/7 use.

    Somehow inexpensive hard drive. It gets the job done. Some transfer might be a little slow, but it's been reliable so far. These always go on sale so I would suggest waiting to get a better deal.

    Excellent hard drive at a great price. WD always delivers with quality drives. Internal drive is a NAS red drive which I eventually plan on putting in my NAS.

    8TB for $140 on sale, what can I say? Hard to find storage for cheaper per TB, and the external functionality works flawlessly.

    This is a nice storage extension to my devices, some of the cloud companies charge too much for storage. Perfect device to store my pictures.
