    Great way to get a cheap 8TB drive

    If you watch, these will periodically go on sale for abound $150. You can crack the case open (search Youtube for "shucking wd drive") and then you'll have a shiny, new 8TB drive. This is the same 8TB drive that Western Digital sells as an internal drive, usually for $250. So if you're populating a NAS box and need 4-6 drives, this is the way to do it. Cracking open the case will void your warranty. Be aware.

    Simply put, this is a great huge capacity drive. Sure, it isn't quite for everyone, but you know if you're someone that needs this much storage space. And, for the cost, this drive is quite good. As others have mentioned in their reviews, this particular model have been known to pack some well reviewed drives inside. So if you need a good performance storage solution, then this definitely comes recommended.

    I removed the enclosure and took the WD Red that was inside out. I placed these in my workstation and they work great. Likely voided the warranty but, the price was excellent.

    8TB May seem like a lot of space but it also loads games faster if you save all downloads to it. Needs to be plugged into the wall for power supply, keep that in mind. (Xbox)
