Excellent drives.
I bought 2 of these on prime day sale, so I got each for 12500. There is all this commotion that WD have changed the internal drives in My Books and elements to SMR. Yes they did, but only for the capacities lesser than 8 TB. So if you buy an 8 TB and above drive, they will be CMR. Coming to speeds, you can get upto 210 MBps when writing to outer Cylinders and 110 MBps when writing to inner cylinders. The models I got are not Helium filled and the temperatures may rise above 56° C if continuously used and are not cooled. Heat is bad for hard drives and I recommend you to cool them by placing a 12v DC fan on the top of it. I can say these drives are cheap by comparing the price/TB in the Indian market. Of course these are not portable but I’ve used both WD and Seagate portable drives and I can say that they too get heated up when using continuously and the speeds are very low (110 MBps write on outer Cylinders and 50-60 MBps write on inner cylinders) compared to My Book desktop drive. This is very good drive and I recommend buying them.

Good, in line with all good 5400rpm drives
Been using it for a month. The fan sometimes makes weird noises. Not loud though. Changing its poition stops the noise for a while. Otherwise it’s bearably quiet while in operation. Transfer speeds (sustained single file) are about 160-175MB(ytes)PS (that is about 1.6 to 1.7 Gb(its)ps). Small file transfers are not bad either, much slower though, naturally. This drive doesn’t suffer from symptoms like the speed going down during large (multi TB) copy operations. It maintains its speed even with, say a 2TB, copy operation. This is a good thing at this price point. I bought the 8TB version for 13K.

AWESOME! great product with 7
AWESOME!great product with 7.27 GB storage space. Now i can finally download all my steam library :P, and GOG, and uplay and others.write speed vary upto 65MB/ps. on USB 3 ( while copying) and 100 MB/ps+ while moving i.e. cut and paste.i will update in future with details regarding health but i am glad to have bought this.Also in recent time the reliability of disks with both seagate and WD with 4Tb and above space has improved greatly. So good times for pack rats like us.P.S.Do not install anything other than WD drive utility if you are not in need of auto back ups.And remember to reformat in NTFS as it is in exFat by default. (if you are not going to use in a mac).packaging was good and speedy delivery thanks amazon. (can you pack desktop internal disks like this?)REMEMBER TO REGISTER ON WD support page as it will give 3 years warranty and not 2 , i got till 2020 after registration, brought on prime day with no discount for 19,824/- INR . {BOO amazon}.(also remember to copy the default folder inside the disk BEFORE FORMATTING, you can download such online also no big deal. It contains the various utilities like WD disk manager etc.)

The drive internal PCB seems to be floating loose Cant plug in he USB
I had bought this 8 TB drive as I thought that WD was an excellent company.I tried ti plug in the USB and could not do it as the PCB just went back.The same thing happened with the power supply cable.I have used WD drives for years but have never had any problems with any of the very many drives we bought.This appears to be very shabby workman ship.

lots of storage for backups at an aggressive price
Does what is says on the box, 8 TB external hard disk. I wonder why the activity led has been removed, quite useful to have. However, not a deal breaker. I knew it wasn’t there, so wasn’t a surprise. Didn’t feel like removing a star either. However, this model seems to vibrate a bit more than the older models which had the led while transferring data. Tested both side by side, and the older ones seems to have better dampening materials for the disk inside at least. If anyone else can confirm this, I will know I’m not alone in experiencing this. All in all a fair product with a couple of very minor issues or ‘features’ depending on your taste.

Fast CMR drive but bad packaging and late delivery from the seller side.
Being an amazon prime member, we expect a fast shipping and a good packaging as it includes a sensitive electronic product which is prone to damaging when mishandled. When i saw the external packaging, i was expecting that the drive won’t survive but i got lucky that internal packaging of the product was good. Very bad experience from the shipping/delivery side but overall a very good product.
