Customers are saying

Customers commend the Expansion Desktop 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive for its substantial storage capacity, ease of use, and fast USB 3.0 transfer speeds. 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. A minor drawback noted by some is the need for a separate power supply.

    Seagate drives are much better and more reliable than WD drives. Best Buy price matched an online competitor and saved me $25.00 and the shipping was free. Hard to beat a deal like that.

    It's worth every penny. I have it because I do flight simulator on Xplane and I saved all my Ortho Photos on this. It's very nice and responsive. With 8TB for below $200 you can't go wrong.

    I put this into my new Xbox One S, and it sync'd very quickly. Was able to move every digital game that I own onto it and I've still got room to spare! BTW I've got 374 games digitally, so yeah, tons of room here :D

    I've had really good luck with Seagate drives and anticipate the same with this. It's a LOT of storage for videos, photos, music, data - you name it. When you consider the per-gigabyte price it's a great value as well. Easy to set up with included AC power adapter and USB cable.

    Bought this for storage for PS4 games for my PS5. This is the most amount of gb you can use for the PS5 and I have about half the storage left, only issue is when the system turns off unexpectedly but that is a PS5 problem and not the drive. I highly recommend

    Ordered for my PS4, and it works just as intended. So far I have 3 TB used thanks to all the PlayStation Plus free games. No noticeable difference between games on this drive and games on the internal PS4 drive. 10/10

    This is my 4th Seagate. All of them has been very reliable. I just keep buying because need more space for data. Compared to my other external hard disks for other brands seagate ones has been more quite in use. This was no exception. Overall good buy.

    Have two of these bad boys connected to my PS4 Pro. That paired with my internal 2TB SSD gives me a whopping 18TB of space. Worth the price if you are a purchaser of digital games like myself. Plus, Seagate has never let me down.

    Originally purchased for external storage. However, it worked so well that I use it for daily operation and temporary storage of large files. Easily connected up to my system with no hang ups or issues.
