    Nice hard drive, however I planned to use with my router and the router would not support the hard drive and had to return.

    Was a little complicated to hook up to our network and it ended up not doing exactly what we wanted but we had a reasonable workaround. All in all very pleased with this unit. Could not beat the deal we got.

    Fast. I could not believe I copied 4tb from a desktop to this external overnight. I even ran robobcopy again to ensure I got everything.

    These easy stores contained the WD Red 72,000 rpm drives with 256mb cache on them. They have run great with almost a year uptime.

    I do quite a bit of photoraphy, so I am kind of obsessive regarding file backups. Not sure about the cloud, so I bought this. No regrets.

    The deal on these was too good to pass up. Great 8tb external hard drive; I used it to back up... A few in rotation should last a long time!

    Formatted the drive and set it up for Time Machine in just a few minutes. No problems since install and use it to backup a second Mac.

    some of the drives i got for shucking were great some were mixed SMR drives. The drive mixing was prior to WD getting busted in the media for mixing SMR/CMR drives

    My only complaint with this drive is the noise. It may be the setting from my desktop (I primarily use this for backup), but it seems to be relatively chatty and disrupts the otherwise quiet office.

    Plugged in, recognized in Windows 7. Hardest part is transferring files from old drive to new due to time constraints.

    Do NOT buy any WD products, they do NOT have warranty. WD will tell you to send back the item, but delay months and not send you replacement, and also won't return the unit you send them

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Works fantastic for a backup drive very fast to copy TBs of data. The drive inside is a 8TB WD Red drive so do with that info as you will.
