Sometimes with tech things just don’t work... this has been a pleasant experience. I was fill with such joy to plug this into my PS4. The PlayStation expanded the space I could use and just works. Haven’t had any issues. It does need power from the outlet. Which wasn’t a big deal for me, I’m not planning to ever move it.

Love the Seagate drives. We buy a lot of them and they are super good. They rarely fail and it's usually to physical damage we caused.

8tb of data space all on one drive awesome. Great product. Seagate hard drives used to suck. In the past few years they have turned it around . Now when I look for drives I see what they have first. Same size as before

Perfect for what it is. Tons of space. Low cost. Slick design. Unfortunately the reliability of any drive, especially ones with their own power adapters, isn't 100%. Any unexpected shut off of the computer, or loss of power in general could really hurt the drive. Always "Safely" eject your hardware! I also recommend finding a free hard drive health monitoring software and a backup power supply to be proactive about failing drives and data loss!

Pros: *high capacity hd perfect to store videos for content creators *nice small design *easy to use and install Cons: *makes noticeable noise when computer loads and when it writes data in the drive Overall, I like this drive mainly for the high capacity storage for the price. I just try to ignore the noise it makes when files are being saved on the drive.
