Review: Great External HD - Overall this HD is great, and it was slightly faster than advertised! This drive is louder than my other Western Digital external hard drives which are smaller 5400rpm drives and don't require an external power supply, but they are about 60% slower than this beast. My 4GB WD HD gets about 108 MBPs and this 8TB WD HD gets 258 MBPs in CrystalDiskMark (USB 3.0)!!! The small amount of noise is acceptable to me especially for the speeds this thing produces. The noise is nothing like the clicking problem someone else had, but you can hear the drive head kick in from time to time. When the drive is not in use it doesnt make any noise, and it only reads 0.1 - 0.2 W on my KWH meter! I like the fact that it has an internal fan which I don't hear, but I do wish the whole thing was made of aluminum/metal instead of plastic, but then again I probably wouldn't like the price....Overall it looks and feels well built. The status light on the front of mine does not come on. I've never seen it come on, and this this is rather worrying but other than the status light the drive runs perfectly fine. I was going to cover the light due to where I have it placed so it did work out in my benefit, but it's slightly troubling... I feel like this drive offers a good cost to speed compromise. Regular external HD's are slower but slightly cheaper, solid state drives are faster but WAY more expensive for comparable space and have a caveat that they can only be written to so many times.
Review: Great all around HDD - I ultimately settled on having this as my backup drive. Its capacity was right, and my much smaller but faster solid state drive was more appropriate for my somewhat more meager than average storage needs for games. Being a Mac user, I completely ignored any and all software that came with it, while it was completely reformatted with APFS to work with the proprietary Time Machine backup software. It is working perfectly. Some have noted that this might not be a very fast drive in practice. The reality is that speeds are largely determined by USB version and your system's associated firmware. This drive runs on USB 3.0, or roughly up to 5gb transfer speeds. My SSD, in comparison, runs on 3.1, which is up to 10gb transfer speed (aka double). That technically makes the Black drive the second-fastest drive I ever owned. In practice, though, I don't really notice the difference between 5 and 10gb speeds. It is simply a fast hard drive, no matter how many hairs some might want to split. Others have also noted that it seemed to be a noisy drive. Well, hard disk drives have physical parts that make noise. You have to spend a lot more -- and still get less -- for a silent SSD. When in use, the Black drive might be a touch louder than other's I've owned, but all HDDs I've owned sounded somewhat different. A running AC and computer audio drown the sound out most of the time. Overall, a great all around HDD that also has a lot of aesthetic personality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this drive be removed from case and used as an internal sata drive?**
A: It was not as easy to remove as most usb cases, because there are 4 odd screws that hold the case together, which none of my tools fit. So, I took a small coping type saw and just cut diagonally on each corner just inside the screws so they wouldn't hold the top half. After that, it was just a simple screwdriver to pop all the internal clips around the seam of the case. Then inside, the drive was secured to the case with 2 pins on the long sides of the drive, where I pried the sides outward with pliers to free it from the case. The usb board unscrewed from the drive easily. The drive is actually a WD Ultrastar Data Center DC HC320, dated Nov 30 2019, which is just awesome. My understanding is that the drive may not power up if installed internally because of pin 3. The workaround I'm going to try for that is to just connect an older type 4 pin power connector to sata adapter, which is supposed to prevent the problem with pin 3, 3.3V power. Other workarounds include covering pin 3 with some type of electrical tape.

**Q: What sort of file system does this use? It isnt working with my tv and i think that may have something to do with it**
A: The drive comes formatted with an NTFS filesystem. To use it with devices other than a PC, the drive should be reformatted as exFAT or FAT32.
I would suggest using exFAT, as FAT32 cannot hold files larger than 4 GiB. You can do this by right-clicking the drive in File Explorer, and then clicking "Format," and changing "File System" to exFAT. You can also rename the drive here, under "Volume Label." A "Quick Format" should be fine (and is faster), but unchecking this box will allow a full reformat, which will check for bad sectors and other problems.
You can also do this using Disk Manager, but that requires a bit more technical prowess.
YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA ON THE DRIVE WHEN REFORMATTING!!!
Back up your data somewhere else, change the file system, then move it back.

**Q: Why so many Vine reviews! Is no one buying this drive and they had to be given away to build a review base?**
A: I find it very good so far,  some people may not like the noise, but it is not as bad as some say. It sounds like a internal pc hd

**Q: 110v only？ or 110v～240v？**
A: 110v-220v consumes an external storage power supply! The hard drive itself consumes 12v
