This drive has worked well for the past 6 months, great drive

Easy setup right out of the box. Comes with utility software.

Easy to use and set up. Works great for Xbox and anything else

This is a good modem , easy to hook up, and easy to program for static IP address and WI-Fi configurations.. It performs as specified. I did have two issues: first it is difficult to keep the Wi-Fi antennae oriented properly; second, my ISP ended up installing a bonded circuit (two DSL in parallel), and Netgear routers do not work with bonded circuits..

Shucked it for the hard drive and it has been working great.

I remember when researching this hard drive that there was a forum where users were saying that by looking at the serial number, you could tell where the hard drive was manufactured. Not something that matters to me usually, but the people on the site claimed that one country had a faster tech, and the other has a slower. So, when I went to Best Buy, I was literally reading serial numbers and found both types. In all honesty, I probably would not have been able to tell the difference, but it is always nice to have better/more upgraded tech. The hard drive is awesome. Super reliable and has been a workhorse. But I still recommending putting the part number on Google and reading more about it.

Works as designed, bare bones external drive, but works well

This product is great and works as intended. I have been using it as a media drive for a plex server and have not had any issues after a few months. I would say though that the normal $180 is a little high and wait till it goes on sale for between $120-$130.

This is a great backup hard drive. Very fast and easy setup.

I love external drives... This is a 3.0 drive with 8 TB!!!!!

Got it on sale, awesome deal for the 8TB Capacity for a NAS.

This is my first HD I buy its easy and fast to use I like it

This drive is amazingly large, easy to set up and use, and fast even over a USB connection. You can back up absolutely everything you have data-wise on this and still have room left over. Highly recommended!

Definitely has a lot of storage and has a nice weight to it so I can't imagine it falling at all unless done on purpose. Skinny but not too tall either so it's easily stored. :)

Thsi product is surprisngly durable as i have dropped it a couple of times. But all the data is still there and the read write speeds were not affected.

I LOVE THIS WD EXTERNAL HD THIS IS MY 4TH ONE OVER THE YEARS

Purchased unit for backups. Plugged in and works as designed.

Great Product and Exceptional Price! Best Buy Is Awesome!!
