    This external drive comes with a WD NAS Red 256MB cache drive that retails for 249$ by itself. When on sale u can grab this external for 149$ or less which makes it a steal. Videos online show you how to use this drive in a NAS if you want. Works great as an usb 3 external. Get almost 200MB\S when transferring large files, works great. Very quiet

    These are pretty inexpensive any more. The world is moving to SSD (Like me) but this is 8TB and if I wanted that in an SSD I would need a 3rd mortgage. I have 4 of these and I use them for storage. Not for constant real time access. They can be attached and always "on", but if you don't do a file access for a few minutes the platters stop spinning and it takes ~15 seconds to "wake up." That is FOREVER so I avoid it. That Sleeping may also be the software controls on my computer rather than the drive itself, but it is still a real time lag. There are work arounds (batch files etc) to keep your drive "live", but they would seem to tax the turn tables. So, I often copy the section I am working with to a local SSD drive, make my edits and then save back to this kind of spinning disc archive.

    Tremendous amount for storage for the price. When its full, put it on the shelf and get another. I have been using WD usb 2 and 3 hard drives for many years and they have been great. No failures no problems and no reasons not to have a 2nd set of those precious photos and videos.
