    There was a another WD Easystore external hard drive, a 10TB, offered at the same time. I did some simple math and it turned out the price per terabit was almost exactly the same. I needed a backup, but decided to hedge my bets with an 8TB instead of the 10TB. Plus it came with a Shutterfly offer ($25 or the 8X8 photo book) That further reduced the price per TB. I've had nothing but success with WD products, so I took this combo.

    I purchased 4 of these drives in the last 4 months. I will be buying a few more this spring. They work very well and for the price you can't do better. The four that I have contained WD Red drives. I will be using them in a FreeNAS server I am going to build. Can't do better than these drives.

    I needed some extra storage for my PS4 Pro, as 1 TB went quick and I was sick of swapping out installations of games. This external HDD was as simply as unboxing, plugging in, and formatting for the PS4 when prompted. Now all my games to to the external, and I don't have to worry about space!

    I love these HDDs. They just got to be formatted before use for PS4 and PS5 systems. I have more than 4 if that lets you know how much I prefer this over other brands.

    8 big fat terabytes of space. Let me say that again... 8 freaking terabytes and what used to bust your bank account is now $149.99 at your neighborhood Best Buy. I fdisk’d and partitioned off half and left the rest unallocated for now. This is easily the best Christmas gift I have to myself.
