    Western Digital makes some of the best hard drives. What more is there to say? Works great and should be reliable since it is made by WD.

    The 8TB western digital drive is a great buy at 160.00. The performance and reliability is good for the fact I have not had one fail yet.

    This is a good, solid drive if you are looking to store basic media. It's not very fast though so I wouldn't use it for content creation. It is also well built, and fairly quiet.
