Does what is made to do; backup my docs. It just sits there quietly in the background on autopilot working away. This is my fourth WD backup unit.

Love it I want to use it for movie and tv storage. I am in the process of migrating my entire video collection well see if it all fits

Works as it should. The older ones had Red hard drives not sure about the newer ones. I haven't opened it up yet to take a look, 11/3/22, but will report back later when I get it open.

Great price and would not pass up this drive. Able to store all my documents and old family pictures. And still have room to add more.

Very fast usb 3.0 drive. Has WD 8TB Red NAS drive inside. I bought 3. Two went into my WDMyCloud EX4100 NAS as backup drives and the third I am using for offsite external backup. Great drive.

Great product. No lagging. I recommend this product to anyone needing a lot of space.

Great product Recommendation for safe and protected all your files

Still kicking after several years, outlasting several smaller drives.

Excellent hard drive for backing up videos and photos. This is my 4th one I’ve bought more reliable than the other brands.

Awesome backup storage to have! Glad I found this drive on a great deal!

Have used WD externals before and this was a great price on sale for an 8tb drive. Needed something this big for digital backups. Could also be taken out of case and used as internal drive

Great for extra disk space. Move your pictures, and videos to it to free up space on your primary drive.

It is nice to have the piece of mind that all of my data is safe on this external hard drive. Data transfers are quick, and it's nice to have it connected to my NAS using the USB 3.0 port.

Lots of storage, quiet and efficient. No problems so far. I find WD products to consistently be of very good quality and goid value.

Makes it easier to download games . Has a lot more storage and space .

Great. Easy to set up. Plenty of storage. I use it as a catch-all backup option.

I used to think 2tb was enough then I moved on to 4tb now that my music and movies have outgrown my 4tb this is the next stage in digital storage. You can not go wrong with a WD product.

Although purchased as a gift, this is one of many Western Digital drives I've purchased over the years, and have never had any issues with them (aside from running out of space). Easy to set up and to move files to. Quick delivery, especially during the busy holiday season!

I got this Hard Drive to back up my important files and I heard it works great for a Plex server! I recommend it!

These have been popping up on sale lately for between $149 to $199 which makes these a steal. If you just need a back up drive, you get a ton of storage for a great price. In my case, I needed it to replace a dead drive in my NAS. Inside these (as of writing) are standard size WD Red drives which are perfect for my needs. At the sale price, it's significantly less than buying a retail 8tb WD Red. Local Bestbuy had them in stock and staff was great.
