    I bought this to use as a media server. So far it has worked flawlessly. The price is excellent for 8T and though I'm not sure it is a "red" drive...it seems fast, reliable, and suitable for my needs.

    This is a great drive, which I use to backup my NAS server. It doesn't appear to run hot for me, but that may be because it's only doing incremental backup. All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase.

    If you want tons of space to save things like pictures, video games, tv shows, movies....etc.....etc.....this is something for you. With that many TB this will go a long ways.

    The surprise hidden inside each of these high capacity external drives is apparently a Western Digital Red NAS-rated hard drive. These are designed for long life and high reliability. While not ultra-high speed, they are more than enough for USB 3.0. An excellent value.

    I’m not the most up to date and tech savvy, but I use this to store my movies and video game roms with zero issues. Cheaper quality ones would always crash and leave my data corrupted, well I purposely cut this off mid use a few times and the thing is bulletproof (not physically and shouldn’t of had to say that.)

    What can I say it’s an external hard drive. Works as expected and high-capacity is excellent. At the time of purchase this was the best bang for the buck. I have had no issues yet and I’m happy with it

    Another name brand product stopped working. It cost almost twice as much as the original product to recover the data. My original Western Digital, external hard drive is still working after buying it years ago! I am happy with WD reliability and recommend their products.
