    I bought two for my kids Xbox storage. Hooked them up and both worked great. I have a WD external HD for my Xbox and it has lasted for years.

    The write speed on this hard drive is faster than any external USB 3 hard drives I've had. It's also quiet. I will definitely get another one.

    Large Capacity Harddrive

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Large external harddrive, 4 stars because it works out of the box, 5 stars will come if it lasts more than its warranty. Pros: -Large capacity, 8.001 trillion bytes, or more simply 7.24 terabytes of space. -Easy setup for Windows, plug it in and you're ready to start using your new harddrive. -Power saving, the harddrive will go to sleep once it isn't being used, this extends the harddrives lifespan. Something to note is it requires an outlet to be powered, as well as an empty usb port to connect to your computer. Overall a simple product for any storage needs, its true worth will be tested in time, but so far everything is as advertised.

    Great External Drive

    Pros: Price - especially when on sale. The drive is quiet, compact, quick, and is a robust 5400rpm WD He10 8TB drive - WDC WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0 This drive is very quick - benchmarked on Mac from 1st TB to last (made 8 partitions) with Disk Speed Test 190/170MB/s Read/Write for first partition to 110/110MB/s for last partition. Nits: Drive spins down after inactivity and takes a second or two to spin back up. No power switch. Lastly wish the enclosure had a fan for cooling.

    Love this external hard drive. Our hobby is outdoor photography and storage is a must. Really great to finally have a large - 8T - storage drive that is reasonably priced and very easy to install & use. It can be used as primary storage or a great backup storage space. As everyone knows -- BACKUP your files! And this size makes it easy.

    Works as great extra storage for my samba and plex

    Pros: Resonable price for large capacity, works well with samba and plex, can be used as an internal drive is you are willing to open the case Cons: None at this time. I am using this as a storage drive fro my home samba server and plex tv server. So far it is fantastic. It is reachable over the network via shar and gives me 7.75 TB of storage. Which makes me happy. The price for it at the time was good so I am happy with the purchase. I bought this particular drive because if I want I can take it out of it's shell and use it as an internal drive.

    These external drives contain Western Digital Red hard drives. They may have white labels but they are Reds inside where it counts. What's good about that? They are made to last, run very cool and have a huge amount of storage. This is a much more cost effective way to purchase storage than to buy bare hard drives. Great value for the money.
