    Worst experience and purchase ever! Used once to upload pictures and after that it stopped working. I’ve tried everything they recommended, At first, I even bought a new laptop thinking my old one had an outdated software and that was the problem. Now WD is not responsible for the data recovery I’ve to pay to certain companies designated by WD in order to claim the warranty on the external storage device. Here is the worst… data recovery estimates goes from 700 to 1,500 depending on the complexity could go even higher. I’m not only loosing what I spent on WD piece of garbage, I lost the data or I’ve to spend a great amount of money because their product don’t do what it’s meant to do!

    So my review is a little biased as I got the 8tb on sale for a steal at $150 but even at retail this amount of storage is great value.

    This is a huge storage unit that really responds quickly. I've used it as a place to store my audio recording projects which have very large files. And it was inexpensive enough to buy a second one so everything is backed up!
