After publishing our how-to guide on saving money with the Toshiba 5TB 7200rpm external drives, we planned to do the same with the 8TB drives. For years we have turned to liberating internal drives from external enclosures, and today we are looking at the implications for 8TB drives. The WD My Book 8TB drives retail for about $249.99 on making them a full $90 less than the WD Red 8TB drive or about $200 less than the 7200rpm HGST HE8. We had two WD 8TB My Books en route from when Pcper published that it got HGST He rpm hard drives from units procured at Best Buy. We have some benchmarks and the scoop on the Western Digital 8TB drives found on newer (2016) Western Digital My Book external drives.
