Pros: Fast transfer rates Drive model inside: WD80EZZX-11CSGA0 8001.5 GB 5400 RPM Cons: No drive activity LED, no way to tell if the drive is even on just by looking at the case. No power or drive activity LED. On previous models you had an LED that indicated if the drive was on, reading/writing fast blinking and on but in sleep mode slow blinking. PC hangs during post, at least on my system. The drive comes formatted using exFAT instead of NTFS for cross compatibility between Mac and…

Pros: Good price for 8TB Quality WD Red 5400 RPM helium-filled drives, type WD80EZZX Not weird shingle technology as with the Seagate competition Cons: Drives overheat immediately No power LED (!!) Overall Review: As so often with both Western Digital and Seagate, it’s incredible that a company can build these technical marvels but can’t design a plastic box to hold them. WD did better on last year’s MyBook 8TB line, with vents top, bottom, and rear (and a power LED). Now we just get vents…

Pros: – Sleek looking external hard drive. – Power brick isn’t too large, points downwards. Standard 12V – 1.5A. – Despite what people say this hard drive enclosure CAN be shucked. Meaning you can remove the bare internal hard drive from the enclosure and put the hard drive into your PC for use (no encryption). Unless you are a ninja, this will VOID your warranty.** – There IS software & hardware encryption IF you purposefully want it. – This is Western Digital quality, so the drive should…

Pros: Tons of portable storage space. No bright LED (some say a con, I say a pro). Easy setup (just plug it an and my computer recognized it) Quiet. I cannot hear it from 4 feet away. Cons: “sideways” power plug. There are 2 different style plugs for this apparently, 1 will only take up 1 slot on a power strip (cord at bottom, outlet plugs are in a “I I” position), the other takes up 2 due to mounting sideways (cord at bottom, plug is in a = position), unless it is mounted on the first plug…

Pros: Tons of storage in a single enclosure. 8TB is more than I know what to do with! Sleek, modern design that fits well wherever you put it. WD software has the ability to use this as a backup drive, essentially letting you do a system restore from the external drive (if needed). This is useful for anyone with a lot of storage on their PC but with no other way to back up. Cons: None Overall Review: I’m using this to extend my PS4’s storage capacity. It works really great for this, and…

Pros: Great price per TB. **Possibly** a great drive inside. Cons: Extremely poor case ventilation for normal use. It WILL overheat with normal usage. If you use any drive monitoring software, it will report your disk is overheating anytime data is read or written. No problem with overheating after the drive was removed and in my NAS. Overall Review: If you plan to shuck, I’ve bought 5 of these over the last few months and all of them contained a drive with model number WD80EZAZ. The R/N was…
