    I bought this for my 14 year old son. He needed extra storage for his xbox one 1tb. It was easily installed, he did it himself. So far, working beautifully. He now has all of his games downloaded and still has nearly 6tb of storage left.

    I got three of these on sale because they were so much less than I had seen them priced before. They work fine and do what they are supposed to do.

    Got a great Black Friday deal on this to expand my storage (again) on my Xbox One X; $130! Western Digital is my recommended storage solution. They have great speeds and I've never had any issues with files being corrupted.

    I added this to my Synology NAS that I use for a family share drive and Plex server. It was the easiest 8TB's I have ever added. It is very quiet and does what it needs to.

    Have just purchased and set up this WD HD 8T. Everything you really need comes with it plus many opportunities to spend more on other programs...I'm not doing that. This is primarily a back up source for the rest of my data which amounts to a WD 2T My Book, 1T internal drive, 500G Solid State and another 500G WD Passport. We did purchase the extended warranty.
