    8tb for less than 200$ sounds great and all but i would just go with a SDD than this , download speeds are VERY SLOW ,switched to a SDD and don’t plan on going back yes this is a cheap option but save yourself the headache and spend a little more for the SSDb

    This is easily the slowest drive I've ever owned. Good for cold storage, not for active use. I tried to get an idea of how much space a directory was using and gave up after half an hour, when it had counted 250GB and was still going.

    WARNING, this uses SMR technology! If you frequently work with, and modify, large files (20GB+), be prepared to wait while the drive rewrites itself. 45 minutes of work, 2 hours of waiting for it to respond.

    I bought this to back up my computer in an external case. After I'd backed up about 5 TB of stuff the drive stopped responding. I tried moving it to another case, connecting it to another computer, and still no response (it is no longer seen), but placing another hard drive into the same cases show no problem. I would return the drive except it is full of non-encrypted personal data (including financial stuff).
