    Recently I started to realize that I had digital media, documents, music, and irreplaceable family photos stored all over my home office on a variety of devices. I have CDs, DVD's, thumb drives, SD cards, computer files, and yes cloud storage, even some old floppies. I also have that pile of actual paper photographs that I keep meaning to scan into my computer. Well I finally did something about it. I purchased the WD - easystore® 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive and have not regretted it once. It took a couple of days to sort everything out but I put it all on this device. I also backed up my wife's computer as well as mine, along wirh our laptop, and continue to do so and still have 81% of the drives capacity left. I chose this over a NAS device for it's portability. I will be purchasing a second unit to replicate this one for off site storage. I am completely satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it.

    For all of the photos that I take for my kids sports teams I just needed more space. This external drove is easy to use out of the box, allows me to have so more storage outside of my internal storage space. Great price would get another once I fill this one!

    About $150 for 8TB and it's shuckable. You will get either a WD Red or White drive.

    Quite good product and huge storage. I have a few of them: all work fine for 2-3 years without any problems. But in hot weather I use some external fans to keep them cool.

    I quickly ran out of space for my 500gb ps4. With this external hard drive setup was super easy and quick. Now I have tons of space and can play all my games without worry of deleting files off my ps4 to make room. Now I just have to buy another one for my Xbox 1.
