Pros & Cons
Pros
Tb of storage rocks. I'm pleased with the speed and accuracy of the back-ups of the 8 tb drive and with how well a wide variety of productivity software and my strategy and simulation games run. I am very pleased that 12 tb of space is so cheap these ... Read More
Cons
The drive disconnects out of the blue every so often, putting my data on the disk at risk. It says 5 bytes a second, sometimes it says 5kbytes a second. Seems unstable. I can't read the datum.
Highlights
Quality
Good device, use it for time machine backups and just extra storage for pictures or music

These issues are nonexistent with the external drive unplugged.
This beast backs up part of my professional photo and video library without breaking a sweat.
Price
It wasn't that long ago that just 4 tb was a bit expensive.
However, ssds on the magnitude of 8+ tb are simply not affordable yet.
Shipping
They need to delivery to room number- we don't have mail room.
Packaging/appearance
Keep it put away in it's box, and take out only when you need to retrieve or store away data.
Competitiveness
I can count on western digital for reliable drives.
Prefer wd, rated by many as best hd available.
