    You can't go wrong with 8Tb. So much space, only problem is sometimes the drive is temperamental and you have to wait to wake up. But for the price, I'll deal with it

    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 hard drive to use with my PS4. It works great. I like that it has its own power supply and that it was easy to set up and use. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to expand there memory.

    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!!

    Now I have 9TB of storage for my Xbox One X-Scorpio Edition. Maximizing the space continuum of gaming is just an awesome experience and worry-free attribute for needed space... Great price as a Deal of The Day item!

    It's a great HD with plenty of storage! Only weird part is running macOS 10.15.7 Catalina after a while the HD will just "can't create backup folder". Tried the "turn off power save mode" too. I just have to re-plug it in to make it work. So, besides that, it's fantastic.

    Got this for the Series X for more storage. Works great for holding games that don't need to be played on the internal drive. Added a 1TB SSD for good measure!

    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.
