    External drive was easy to setup and was recognized by my Server 2012 R2 instance right away. Setup as a backup drive for the server and working well.

    It has a white labeled wd red 8tb inside. Used a bypass for the antishuck and it works great. Saved over 100$ for a storage drive

    This drive is much better than the 8TB Seagate drive I have. For some reason, the Seagate goes into hibernation and has to be removed and reinstalled to work. The WD doe not do this. I've always had better luck with WD drives than Seagate.

    Inside these enclosures are WD Red hard drives. The drives are excellent and can be shucked if you're willing to void your warranty.

    Great value on this drive. I pulled the drive out and used it as an internal because it was so much cheaper than an equivalent internal drive.
