Many appreciate its affordable price and quiet operation, along with its compact and sleek design. The drive's size is also praised for its suitability for backing up multiple systems.

    I combined it with a birthday discount and got loads more storage that is typical for the $150 range. It's only about 4" tall so it doesn't take up much room on my desk hidden behind my computer screen. Lots of space to back up my older backup drives.

    After much searching I found this 8 TB external hard drive to be the best value for the money. You can save all your work, photos, videos, etc on here in case your main computer is stolen or self destructs. It give me peace of mind knowing I won't lose my work. You must back up every few days so your important data is not at risk of being lost.

    I'm using this as a backup to my two 4tb WD external drives that I use for backups. Transfer of photos and documents, which is all I'm backing up, has been easy and relatively fast. No complaints. I've had several types of external drives, including Western Digital and Toshiba. The latter is the only one that I had problems with. I went with this drive because of the lower sale price at the time.
