WD’s 8TB Elements model features hard drives with nearly identical specs to the company’s Red drives, meaning you’re getting datacenter-level reliability in a desktop form-factor. Centered around a USB 3.0 interface, you’re looking at 480MB/s transfer speeds for quickly moving files from your Mac or setting up a Time Machine backup. Rated 4.5/5 stars from over 3,500 customers.

For those who don’t necessarily need to bring 8TB of storage into their desktop setup, consider opting for a smaller capacity of WD’s Elements hard drive instead. Right now a 4TB model will set you back $85 at Amazon, saving you quite a bit of cash compared to the higher-tier storage option mentioned above.
