    This particular model was not available in my local store. I was paying cash or would have ordered online. The helpful associate suggested that I could pay for and have it delivered directly to my home, no ship charges. It arrived on my doorstep in two days time. I have been using it and am very pleased with the speed / transfer rates with this model. It was well worth the money.

    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.
