    The Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8tb External USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive arrived as advertised. All I had to do was plug it in. And a bonus is the 2 USB ports for charging your phone or iPod.

    As with any drive I always back up to two, but these 8TB models are cheap enough you can grab two without breaking the bank. So far, so good after a couple of months.

    Maybe I am just super lucky. However, when others state their misfortunes as to the reliability. I am truly confused. I have never had but the best functionality of Seagate drives. Super fast...super reliable...am I just super lucky after literally 17 drives....ummm...i am sure; but there will be thumbs down by the naysayers...I am good with Seagate, just the same.

    I got this on sale some time ago and it works great. It helps consolidates a number of files I have on various external hard drives. I like the USB ports in the front as they have been very useful.

    Enough room to backup all the data i have. However the backup software is not that great. I haven't able to get a good backup of all my files. I ended up using windows copy and paste.

    This was my first experience with sea gate as a big WD fan. I am very impressed and 8TB of storage was overkill as I am sure the drive will die before its full.
