    Works as it should. The older ones had Red hard drives not sure about the newer ones. I haven't opened it up yet to take a look, 11/3/22, but will report back later when I get it open.

    Drives are such a great value for your money. I have purchased 5 of the 8TB drives over the past year and have yet to have any issues. I love the easystore line from WD

    Good value... Works well as a backup and an external drive! Instructions could use a bit more clarification but if you know what you're doing, it's a solid product.

    You can't go wrong with 8Tb. So much space, only problem is sometimes the drive is temperamental and you have to wait to wake up. But for the price, I'll deal with it

    Got this for the Series X for more storage. Works great for holding games that don't need to be played on the internal drive. Added a 1TB SSD for good measure!

    Western Digital is pretty much the king of Hard drives and their external offerings are no different. Great quality at a fair price in one little plug & play black box.
