    The 8tb external storage is going to be big and easy enough to back up all your data. I haven't used the included backup software but it seems adequate.

    We needed a backup external drive for pictures as we are photographers. I’ve found WD the most reliable and prefer them over Seagate after using both.

    I love these HDDs. They just got to be formatted before use for PS4 and PS5 systems. I have more than 4 if that lets you know how much I prefer this over other brands.

    Easy to hookup and use. Connected to PC and ran through a diagnostic test using a program like HD Tune. After 14+ hour test the drive was safe to use.

    Are you looking for a gigantic external storage drive that is about as tall as tall and long as a dvd case and as wide as three of them? This is what you're looking for right here. Comes with everything you need to start dumping all your linux isos onto. The drive itself is a 5400rpm drive which is just fine and dandy for storing your completely legitimately acquired video games.

    Have been using these drives for backup clones and couldn't be happier with the outcome. They are fairly snappy, and I've not had a single issue with them. I run several in tandem at all times and they just keep marching along. I will be purchasing more shortly.

    Good sized footprint and very functional. Time will tell as far as 'quality' goes, but thus far it functions as intended. Plenty of storage for my purposes, to include backup and photos.

    a good hard drive to use for data storage or long term backup to mirror your computer system. I'm a big fan of western digital products and so far I haven't had any problems with any of their drives.
