Disappointed.

  • Virtually no sound
  • You don't see any files from the device itself
  • 8 TB is not 8 TB net but only 7.2 TB. Really bad.

Just good.

  • Stays cool
  • Fast
  • Power button on the back has no function (in Windows). Not really important because you can disable the drive from Windows, but handy sometimes.

Great hardware, works on almost everything (except PS5)

  • Enough storage for the rest of your life
  • Even works on e.g. Raspberry Pi 4
  • Does not work on PS5, must be <=8 TB (Aug 2021)

You can't say anything about reliability after a week.. I've had WD HD's that gave up after a month and a year, but also that have still been soliciting happily for 11 years..
What immediately struck me was the considerable vibration of the box. I already have a foam rubber mat under it .. very disturbing.
Furthermore, it jumps into sleep mode really quickly and of course it takes a few seconds to get out (long enough to call it disturbing)
It is connected to a Mac (in hindsight I would have preferred to have it attached to my Linux server with EXT filesystem) but re-installing 8tb... you don't just do that! Mac has been having a hard time with Samba shares for quite some time now .. so accessing remotely is possible but with a bit of nonsense (not WD's fault)
Ultimately, I'm afraid this disc won't last long. Vibration is not a positive property of a hard disk.

  • Virtually no sound
  • You don't see any files from the device itself
  • Is Plug & Play, no hassle, Great!
  • 8 TB is not 8 TB net but only 7.2 TB. Really bad.

You know that 8 TB isn't exactly 8 TB, but I think it's such a bad thing to mislead the consumer. Only 7.2 TB available is quite a difference in my opinion. One has to be transparent about that. Just put it clearly on the packaging. If I had known this I would have bought a bigger drive. Or make sure it's a 7.2 TB drive!

Especially for the digital collector

Hi,
A disclaimer in advance: this review has nothing to do with my procrastination of to do's that are more important than writing this review. Here we go.
In recent years I have collected a shtload (pardon my french) of documents. I'll be honest, I'm a digital hoarder/collector. Admitting is the first step. Even my msn conversations I once copied to txt and even those I still have. Notes from my law studies, sound clips for my mp3, pixel-countable photos, you name it. Previously I had 2 separate 1 Tb hard drives plus my laptop contents. They are all full now. That's why I bought the 10 TB.
It is quite a light box, silent (for now), and, as usual, easy to connect. If you want to transfer a large stream of files, in my case, it doesn't mean it will be much faster (read: 19 hours) because the speed also depends on the laptop port you use. Otherwise very happy with the extra space ;) .
