    I bought this hard drive as a backup for my Xbox One S to my almost full 4TB USB WD external hard drive. Works great, just as advertised, and I got it while it was on an incredible sale, so it didn't hurt the wallet too much either.

    So far so good. Seek time is pretty good and has lots of storage space. Got this after my other drive crashed and lost everything. Should have gotten this brand to begin with as I have never had problems with this brand.

    These drives are a great deal when they go on sale. I got mine last time for $160 making it a great value for storage. inside the enclosure was a 8TB WD red drive (about $250 retail) making it $100 cheaper to get the external.

    The 8TB drives are not part of the current hard drive fiasco that is biting Western Digital, Seagate, and others. The drive ended up dying, but I quickly received a replacement from Western Digital. I recommend stress testing your drive prior to putting it in to use as primary or backup storage.

    Works great. Running out of space to backup photos and videos. This was the perfect external HD. I plug them in to back up and unplug them afterwards. This is the best way to extend their life. Haven't had any issues with any of my external HDs because of this. If you keep them plugged in all the time, you run the chance of shortening their lifespan.
