    Poor Hard Drive

    The Hard drive crashed out in less than 9 days after use. Now I have to take it to data salvage and it likely cost More than the drive itself. This really sucks

    I looked at many different external drives for my PS4, and found this is the best one for the console.

    Over the years I have used quite a few WD external hard disks and have generally been happy. When I saw that Best Buy was selling an 8TB for just $160 I could not resist, especially when reviewers stated that a WD Red drive was in the box. However, to my dismay after installing it and connecting it to my MacBook Pro I found performance sluggish compared to my 4TB My Passport. What really compelled me to return it was when it started cutting in and out for no reason during a long copy session.

    This drive is great. Really well built enclsure that just begs to be ripped apart and have the drive thrown in a NAS. Very good.

    This is a great drive for backup storage of photos and videos. The only thing I didn't like is that has two lines (one is for power, the other is USB). If this needs only one line like 1T drive, it will be more convenient.

    I've purchased several WD drives over the years and always work great. However, when you set it up to work with both Mac and Windows OS you will not be able to store or create Mac backups on the drive.

    It’s great. I wish the usb cable were longer. It’s a special looking connection, so I don’t know if longer options exist.

    I bought this to take it apart. This comes with a WD RED NAS drive inside. Paid $160 for a dive that sells for $260 by itself.
