    Although purchased as a gift, this is one of many Western Digital drives I've purchased over the years, and have never had any issues with them (aside from running out of space). Easy to set up and to move files to. Quick delivery, especially during the busy holiday season!

    Does what is made to do; backup my docs. It just sits there quietly in the background on autopilot working away. This is my fourth WD backup unit.

    Bought this as a backup for my readynas. So far it works well. Relatively fast for a usb device, and you can't beat the price for 8tb.
