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.

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.

I use this drive to backup my PC storage instead of a cloud base system.
At least I know where my data is.
