    These WD are great for those that need a lot of storage. I shuck them and they are much more affordable than drives sold as internal drives. Get these when they go on sale, which Best Buy does regularly.

    got it during Bestbuy sales, I've already almost filled up one harddisk completely with backup data. so far its good and quiet. I put four of them side by side against each other and so far they are quite cool to the touch. hopefully it will last.

    I keep as little as possible on my computer's hard-drive as possible. This external hard-drive is extremely spacious with 8 TB and the 3.0 makes my up and down loading fast. It was also a great deal of the day special.

    I’ve had the hard drive for about a month and it’s still working great. Reformatted the drive for Mac without any problems. Transfer speeds are not as great as a thunderbolt drive but for the price this is an excellent bang for the buck

    I've only had this a short time so I can't comment on its longevity, but my initial assessment is that it's a good deal for the price. These contain 8TB Red drives which should have the ability to run 24x7, but I use this as an extra backup device with infrequent power on time (may be connected once a week). I can't stress enough how important it is that you always have multiple copies of your important data. Never make the mistake of thinking that it's safe on any single drive; you must have redundancy, and ideally the more the better. The speed is as expected with standard USB 3.0 connectivity but there's no fan in the enclosure so if you're copying large amounts of data to the drive, make sure that you do it in a cool room and ideally with good air flow. The USB 3.0 connecting cable is approximately 4' long, so you might consider getting an extension cable (I did) if you need the extra length to insure the drive is placed in a cool spot or just for safe placement. I'm only giving it 4 stars because WD Red drives carry a 3 year warranty, but this device only includes a 2 year warranty which seems a little short. WD even provides 3 years on their passport drives which get thrown in backpacks and briefcases, so I think they can do a little better here. Overall I'm happy with the features of this drive and I'm glad BB is offering it. Recommended.
