    Perfect for Plex

    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

    Great Hard drive! Holds up a lot of content and files, but for some reason this one all of a sudden reads “Your computer cannot read this hard drive” and ive had to get another one. Hopefully this one will be good!

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