    WD drives are the only way to go. Seagate drives seem to all fail... perhaps within the warranty period, but fail.

    What's there to say? The drives work well and allows me to hoard my stuff. They do run hotter than my older Ironwolf drives so I had to set my NAS fans to high. If it weren't for the heat these would be 5 stars.

    If you need a fast 8tb drive for your PC consider this option. It runs quietly and the speed is excellent.

    I Can’t say too much about this because it is installed in an external SATA - USB case. I only use it as a storage drive for backup files, so it only sees about an hour a month usage. It’s quiet and it writes at the published speed. The price was right and I didn’t have to go online to UNLOCK it, which I personally believe is ridiculous and just another excuse to grab your email address. The thing about doing these reviews is that they’re usually written within a couple of weeks of purchase. ANY hard drive should last that long!!! So what can you really say?
