  • Review of 8 TB WD External Drive

    It may have been operator error, but things that happened. When first ran the Diagnostics before using the drill. They say it may take hours, They were truthful. More like a day and a half. When I copied a large bunch of files, the size they end up is much greater then on original drive. Other than that, it has been working fine.

    My Book devices are generally some of the most stable externals on the market. This one has proven to be just as stable. While the HDD is empty you can get read or write speeds of 200MB/s, once the drive has more data expect read / write speeds to drop down to 140MB/s. If you need more storage you might want to hold out, a 10TB model is due to be released soon.

    Transfers data fast, I really like that they relocated the USB and power ports towards the middle of the drive, instead of having them at the bottom like in older models. This makes it really convenient to plug things in, instead of having to narrowly plug cables in at the base like before. Drive also looks great and doesn't seem to scratch up like older models.
