    The WD 8TB drive works as advertised. I only have on issue with the two that I have purchased so far. They are formatted as exFAT. I only use them with NTSF formatting, so I have to do a quick format to change it. All the previous drives I have purchased from WD were NTFS. Not sure why they are sending them our as exFAT now. It was disappointing to find out after I had put information the first one that it was not working properly. But, now I know to check them before writing info to them....
