    Wow! This is 8TB! Great amount of space for many moons to come. Had to reformat it to run on my Mac, but the procedure wasn’t difficult or time consuming. Ordering and pick-up-at-store was quick and easy. Think I will buy another. Can’t have too much storage space.

    As always WD has the best hard drives, this one is ready to attach to any pc or laptop and holds a world of info. Thanks Best Buy you have the best gear at the even better price. This is a nice small 8tb drive looks the same size as all the other 5 tb drives...and runs cool...will get another when the price drops again!

    Recently bought this WD 8TB external hard drive storage. It's perfect in that I could plug, format, and utilize for game download storage. Apparently I heard you can shuck the product but why waste the time doing that. It runs smooth, I had heard it is loud, which I do not find to be the case. So far loving it!

    I purchase these when they go on sale for 129ish. Great price for amount of storage. I believe I've purchased about 10 of these and have yet to have one fail in the last year or so. WD has always been my go-to brand for HDD and they haven't let me down yet...

    These have an 8TB red inside. I use it for a plex server on my Shield TV. It sits on a TV console about 10 feet away so it's inaudible for me even when the room is quiet. Doesn't seem to get hot either. When it's on sale it's a no brainer. Bare WD Reds are expensive alone at this capacity, so this is a steal at 160

    Unlike other external hard drives, it has a powerful hard drive in it. Some others take them off and use for NAS.

    No longer come with white lable version of WD NAS drives like in older versions not Best Buys fault. But will stick with red label version from now on.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
