    The hard drive works as expected. Enough space and speed to back up multiple systems.

    I've been using the first 8TB WD External Drives since they came out, but they're noisy, they have no indicator lights that indicate they're in read/write mode or even that they have power, and they never spin down when used with media players and aren't being accessed. Their redeeming quality was that they're super FAST when used with exFat formatting, and of course their 8TB size. The newer easystore 8TB drives are MUCH quieter, they spin down when not being accessed while connected to a media player, and they're as fast as the original 8TB external drives from WD. I wonder if there's a software upgrade to make the older 8TB drive work like the easystore drives. They still won't have the lights, but it would be nice if they weren't always running at full tilt.

    Wish I could have picked it up as a door buster for 129.99 but even at 159.99 on that Saturday, it beat the MSRP cost of 299.99

    WD Hard Drives are the Best

    I have used many brands of hard drives over the years and have found Western Digital to be the best overall. I have had very few to fail on me. Concerning this one, it is quiet and easy to connect to just about any device without any trouble. The transfer speed through USB 3.0 is also good. I really don't have anything bad to say about it

    It's always a relief when a computer product works right out of the box, and the WD Easystore 8TB was truly "plug and play." It is serving very well as a backup for a NAS. It was offered at a really great price, I ordered it online and it was at my local Best Buy when it was supposed to be. That's the way business should function. Nice work!
