    Saw this deal on Cyber Monday for $129 and was too good to pass up for 8TB. Unlike others, I'm strictly using it for external storage and backup and not shucking the case. I've always stuck with WD drives and have never had an issue, maybe I've been lucky. Easy plug and play on Win 10, working great so far.

    I own several of these now. They're basically WD RED drives in an enclosure, but for a much cheaper price than the actual internal drives. The fact they aren't "green" drives means they should last a good long while. The only issue with them is the passive cooling, if you choose to use these as externals (the way they come), be careful of it overheating when writing a lot of data to it. I actually took mine out of the plastic enclosures and put them in my PC where I have fans cooling them.

    Easy set up no problems. Had a 2 gig hard drive and a lot of files on my main harddrive. Took me awhile but I pushed all those files into the new 8 GB harddrive. Now my computer is running better. Will be able to move more when needed should last me for a couple years. Very happy
