Large amount of extra storage for files. Comes with tools to set it up, backup, and maintain.

Great amount of storage for a great sale price. Can't go wrong when you need space for backups

massive storage space, easy to shuck and use as an internal drive. i just wish it was faster than 5400rpm

Will be used for video storage for my GoPro. So far it’s been great no issues.

I recommend snatching these hard drives up any time they go on sale. Best Buy seems to regularly offer them at 25-50% off and makes them a steal. Reliable, fast (relative to other HDD), and large storage options. They run super quiet and cool and can be used as storage for any use.

This is a good backup hard drive. It does run a little warm but that never created an issue.

It's an external drive. It's doing it's job. I do want to move it from the external case to internal.

This is very good value for money. I’m knocking one star off though because of noise on one of the units that I bought. I purchased 2 of these and have a Raspberry Pi doing an hourly rsync so that I have mirrored copies of my data. One of these drives is definitely louder than the other which brings questions of consistency in product. Other than that these are faultless so far.

Drive works well with my Windows 10 laptop. It will provide space for years to come.

Practical and useful , good capacity , automatic back up a plus, good speed transfer rates

Great price for a solid external that has all the space I need for my gazillions of photos.

Really like the ability to store all of my pictures on one drive and be able to backup my computer.

Got it for a great deal and shucked it. Decent hard drive expansion

Needed to consolidate a number of old drives. For the price and WD reliability cant be beat.

I've used this hard drive for just almost a month now and it been pretty much what I would expect. It's plug and play. It's been attached to my router which acts as a media server. Write speeds are pretty decent over my network (20-25 Mbps).

Good value. In my experience, Western Digital hard drives are much more reliable than Seagate. I owned several of both and only Seagate ones failed repeatedly.

This hard drive has excellent speed via usb 3.0 interface. I use it as an archive drive. It scares me a little storing so much information on one drive so Ill soon be buying another to duplicate all of my files in the event of failure. So far, so great!!!!

The Xbox one needed more room for games this has been a great addition. Does what we need it to do

I assigned 5 stars for the internal drive, an 8TB 5400 RPM WD Red as of Q2-Q3 2017. The enclosure has no active ventilation and power supply is very basic. That is adequate for the 5400 RPM drive, however. Opening the case destroys the tabs for the most part, so tinkerers be aware.

This hard drive backbup my 4 other small hard drive file, photo, video and music files.
