8TB is a Great Deal These Days

Been using the 4TB My Book for years but capacity was getting low. Checked and saw the cost of an 8TB My Book was less than the 4TB I bought five years ago.

quality, despite price

hard to justify buying hdd in this market but its a modern external (only) hdd that works great for consolidating old drives between OS. had a wd my book from 2008 and its still running so figured why not. not worth the price but solid tech if you have to

Great hardware, poor software

As usual with WD drives, the hardware is solid. I just hate the archaic lock software on PC. You have no easy way to toggle different computers to auto unlock without password. It's been YEARS and still doesn't work right. You have to remove the password and can only autounlock 1 computer, usually. It should be a simple toggle after typing in the password, and then possible ask for the password again or some second measure per computer. The software needs to be updated. I NEVER buy a WD drive without hardware encryption, but the software behind it lacks, always. WD, HIRE some good people to refresh this and make more options and make it user friendly.
