    I bought 4 of these to upgrade the storage in my NAS. The drive inside is actually a Western Digital RED NAS drive. I now have enough storage to last a life time.

    Great price for an 8TB drive. I store video on it for backup and since video contains large files, this drive will help avoid buying a bunch of smaller drives.

    An 8TB drive is great for ALL your data. This particular drive is a little bit loud and winds itself down (goes to sleep) more frequently than I would like. Other than that, its aesthetically pleasing and generally stable. It's definitely a good buy for the money.
