    I have purchased western digital for years and been extremely happy with them. This purchase is no exception. Excellent price, very good quality, and all of them have been very reliable.

    Love the new size of this external drive. Have moved several of my smaller 2TB drives onto this larger unit to have everything in one place taking up less space as well.

    As time goes on they come out with larger TB external hard drives. I had multiple drives and was able to combined all of them into this one and had memory to spare.

    I have a desktop computer at home. I took apart the case with little effort and used this as an internal drive. Fantastic for backup and extra storage. Reliable brand.

    I have purchased WD products before and have never been let down. Eight TB's is a ridiculous amount of storage, but it is better to have the space than need the space.

    I like it. I bought it for my new TV. It has a sleep mode out of box set to 30 min. You can turn it off with the software it comes with. And be warned, Windows 7 reports the capacity at 7.27TB not 8. Not sure if it is the helium filled drive. Nothing about it printed on the box. I already want another one.
