    Great hard drive, easy to use, easy to set up. We use this as a back for our backup, and at 8tb, it should last us a while.

    Good sized footprint and very functional. Time will tell as far as 'quality' goes, but thus far it functions as intended. Plenty of storage for my purposes, to include backup and photos.

    The unit I received contained a WD80EDAZ-11TA3A0 drive (white-label air-filled drive) according to `hdparm -I`. It works, but runs very hot. Don't put it in a place without good airflow.
