    Worth the money, especially when on sale anyway. I have backup'd my data for years using WD external drives. I needed more memory. Thanks

    It's working great, but I do notice that it's a little loud. I can hear it a lot even when everything is off. But like I said, it works great!

    Easy to use and install. It is a bit slow to spin up if the drive had been previously asleep when compared to the 3 or 4 TB.

    Good price foe 8tb.. make sure not to reply on a single backup though. Always have an alternative e.g. cloud ,second hard drive or NAS.
