    Extra Space to grow

    A large external drive at 8 TB yes, but it allows for 1) Room to grow your files as time goes by, 2) has the space for "multiple" TOTAL backups of your entire computer. I like to keep multiple backups of all my computers including laptops, listed by date so when something goes wrong I have multiple options.

    Seems to work well enough, but the test will be how long it lasts. I've come to consider these as "disposable".

    This is a really great external drive for the Xbox one. I'm a big gamer and I buy all digital downloads. The drive reply comes in handy. No more deleting games due to a limited amount of space

    I previously had the seagate 8TB portable drive but it was nothing but issues. The WD hasn't given me a single issue and is very quiet.
