    Western Digital is pretty much the king of Hard drives and their external offerings are no different. Great quality at a fair price in one little plug & play black box.

    I have a few smaller 1 and 2 gig drives - this 8 Gig drive came available for a fantastic price at Best Buy and I am glad I purchased it. USB 3 is very fast and I doubt I will fill this drive up soon. Very satisfied.

    I was looking for mass storage for a good price. Was about to build a NAS using bare drives. Saw the raving reviews and I bought these to use standalone and few for my NAS. All are working great, would highly recommend!

    These drives when identified properly with the model number can score you a WD red 8 TB with 256 MB of cache. It's a very good deal if you know how to shuck them properly. It took me < 5 min and I had a WD red NAS drive.

    Purchased this to expand my 1tb storage capabilities on my Xbox 1x. Once plugged in the xb1 quickly recognized it and instructions for formatting came up. I don't much delay in loading a game. It's quiet. Because it's a full size drive it requires to be plugged into an electric outlet on my surge protector. This is the main disadvantage for me in not going with a smaller portable drive. I knew this going into it and preferred the extra storage capacity on a full size. Very happy with this purchase

    I purchased this external hard drive knowing that it contained a WD Red Drive inside. I was able to shuck it and know I have 40TB of Nas storage for a fraction of the price of buying a WD Red Drive. Thanks Best Buy!!
