    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.

    Huge Storage - Quiet & Fast

    8TB is a ton of space, and great as a storage/backup device. The drive is pretty fast via the USB3 connection, and relatively quiet too. I like the fact it will auto-power off when not in use (after several minutes). The only issue is the spin-up time is a little longer than I've seen in previous external drives, but overall, it's a great buy when it's on-sale!

    I purchased this 8 terabyte external drive to consolidate my data from several 2 terabyte drives. I was impressed that it uses a WD Red drive and it is whisper quiet. Transferring data is a breeze over the 3.0 USB cable and was just what I needed.
