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.

    I've purchased this drive before because it simply offers the best amount of space for the money (when on sale) at the present time. Bought online and picked up at local store - smooth and fast - Best Buy has really improved on the experience of this service.

    I do all the media work for my church and need a place to store my large video files. I already have one of these but it is nearly full (about 2 years worth of raw and completed video files). Great price and fits my needs well

    I have had several of these. They hold up pretty good. Took maybe 4 yrs for my first failure. Recovered info and harddrove with an external hd swappable enclosure. Still haven't lost any data on any of them.

    The product itself is amazing. I personally use this for my Xbox external storage. No issues with launching games or crashes. The only downside is the constant “booting up” noise it makes even when I am not playing games. If noise is an issue for you then I would pass on this product. Other than that the product value is amazing compared to the competition.

    We used these to store large media files as backups. They are quick and do the job. We used them on Mac's and PC's. You should format them if you would like quicker speeds when used with Macs.

    I had it for almost a month and I've been quite impressed with it. I'm using it on my PS4 and it was able to read it even though on the box it is for a desktop. I love it!

    Arrived on schedule, very well packaged, really quick and easy to connect, had it up and running in under 5 minutes, looking forward to many years of good use, I have found Seagate products to be very reliable and long lasting. No ON/OFF switch included but can't be beat for the price.
