    As my need for storage increased I found that I was in need to a larger storage space and found this when it went on sale. I have only used WD for any external hard drives and can say that I dont think I would use any other brand because it has always worked for me. This product is easy to use and love it.

    Too easy to install and get working. Huge amount of storage will be more than I could need for years. Great price, too.

    I haven't really used the built-in software for backing up your computer yet. Have just been storing files on it through Windows Explorer. But it seems to be working well. No complaints based on my usage so far.

    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

    I bought this drive with the intent of "shucking" the shell in order to grab just the hard disk drive itself. The shucking was super easy (you can find instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/7fx0i0/wd_easystore_8tb_compendium/) and the drive itself worked right out-of-the-box in my QNAP NAS
