Perfect for Xbox one x
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to help handle all of the future 4K data that would have eaten up the 1 tb internal in a flash. Works great and should last quite a while with the extra 4tb of the same brand already attached.

Good, so far!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have another 8 TB drive from WD, so this was kind of an easy purchase. I read about (and knew about) the noise it can make, but that is a trivial matter. It is not loud enough to distract from work or pleasure while on my iMac. I have had great luck with WD products and always recommend them. This one is no different.

Just like all the other EasyStore hdds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would like to give this five stars. I usually have good luck with WD drives; that said, the latest run of USB 3.0 drives from WD have a known flaw in their firmware. It turns out, they are not fully compatible with older (as in, two years) USB drivers. I bought a 6tb drive this summer; it would randomly turn itself off. The only online fix was to try to find a new driver for my computer. Since the computer was HP - obviously there was no online support. So the problem was never resolved. I had hoped that they would have addressed that problem in the newer 8 tb drive. They haven't. First set of files I tried to move, my computer (an HP Envy i7 - 4th gen) lost the drive - disconnected it. Pretty aggravating - because they seem to be solid drives and the price per gig is good. Just be careful until you are sure the drive won't be shutting off on you during a transfer.
