    I really needed another external hard drive that was larger than 4 TB and I had read many reviews about this drive. I looked online and saw that there was a reduction in price and I jumped on the opportunity to purchase it and it was a very good investment!

    WD is my favorite HD mfger. Reliable and dead simple to set up. I didn't read any reviews on this purchase because a friend tipped me off to these drives and had already done the leg work. Best Buy shipped and delivered as promised and drive is working great!

    I bought this HDD after reading several reviews stating that it has a WD Red drive inside, and it does. At $180 it is a huge deal. The drive can get pretty warm since it uses passive cooling, but I'm not too worried about it since I will be using it to perform a once a month backup from my NAS and then I will store it offsite until the next month. I highly recommend this drive.

    We have a WD RAID-1 server for our 2 person office. After having a drive failure, we decided to just replace it rather than go through the warranty process. This drive was purchased to give us an extra backup of our work files for peace of mind. It was easy to set up and has performed as expected.
