    I had a lot of information that I need to backup so I needed a large hard drive. This was perfect and I got it on sale. It was a great deal and is working great!

    My 4tb is almost full. Needed something to backup pictures and home movies. I've been eyeing this for a while and when I saw the price drop it was a no brainer.

    This is a connected to PC via USB device. This is not a LAN hard drive out of the box. However, you can connect it to another device that already is a LAN disc.

    I've purchased so many external hard drives from Best Buy, it's impossible to keep count. Seagate/WD and G-Force are pretty much the only brands I buy. Best Buy is always competitive price-wise with any other source, such as Amazon, but unlike Amazon, BB is a company that gives back to the communities it serves.

    JURY IS STILL OUT/STRANGE NOISES WHILE CONNECTED

    It has unsurpassed storage potential 8TB. I've had it for about a month. I'm not a techie. My understanding is while connected to my laptop it is backing it up. My laptop has been freezing up and I was afraid it was about to crash; so I bought this very expensive 8TB. I had a 1 TB from Toshiba and it kept telling no space was left. These type products do not come with enough instructions for non-tech people. They should provide a complete explanation for "dummies". It makes noises while connected which always scare me; even though they aren't very loud.

    it is very quiet, and just plug and play. I love USB 3.0 transfer, it is very fast. I'm using it to RIP my movies, music, so I can view it on my TV via PLEX.

    Great price for the memory it has, been it's been very inconsistent upon trying to find it on my desktop. Good feature that it has with being able to port it to other drives or your phone.
