8 Terabyte External Drive

It is exactly what is advertized: a black, USB conection, terabyte external hard drive made by Western Digital. It works and got to my house within 7-14 buisness days

I bought this case hoping it would protect my Western Digital 4 Terabyte Ultra Drive. The drive fits in the case as if it were made for it, with just enough room for the drive cable. The case is tough, yet light weight. It locks tightly and says it is watertight, but I don't plan on testing that feature. This is a great little case and I highy recommend it.

It is amazing how reliable these little external drives are. I started years ago with the one terabyte drives and now get four or five terabytes for the same price. After more than 10 years all of my one terabytes are still going strong, but I am backing them up.

I was getting close to filling up two one terabyte external hard drives that I used for primary and backup storage of my photo files. I found these four terabyte drives at B&H for a very competitive price, along with free expedited next day shipping. I couldn't pass that up. I got the drives the next day and installation was a simple plug-and-play, with no need for formatting or installing any software. The drives are fast and take up much less room on my desk than the drives that they replaced.

It is a nicely sized 1 terabyte drive that is powered off of the USB port. I have purchased a few of these as they are economical.

I love this external drive!

A great external drive.

I'm impressed with the price per terabyte for this unit when compared to comparable hardware. So far it has performed as expected. It's not the fastest drive, but I need it for archival, so it's totally satisfactory from a speed perspective, but awesome on capacity. I didn't RAID the drives -- just plugged it and used the 5 internals as 20TB each. I did have issues transferring files from a Mac Journaled drive to the native ExFAT, but, since formatting to match the source, it's been smooth sailing.

I have a HUGE collection of movies and TV shows that spanned two 8 terabyte drives. This meant that I had to do two searched to see if I had a particular movie. This drive was my solution. There was an unexpected benefit. This drive is much much faster making my searches almost instantaneous. I wish I had bought it earlier!

Fast Hard Drive at a decent price. I'd grab more if it was a couple hundred versus four hundred for the four terabyte version. Prefer actually if they would make an 8TB or larger size because I have too many SSDs now.
