    I needed a backup drive for photos and video from my camera. Works perfectly for that task, although I didn't realize that I'd quickly run out of space even for an 8TB drive. Overall, I'm very happy with it. Since it's a mechanical drive, it can be a little noisy at times.

    Great for storing my photos. When you shot raw you use up a lot of storage space. For the price you can't beat this hard drive.

    Plugged it into my Mac and PC it works great. I formatted to fat32. I can transfer my files back-and-forth between both of my computers with ease and have plenty of space for storage. I had a older model that still works and is running out of space so I Needed a new one.

    Excellent value and works wonderfully. Was easy to re-program for Mac. Have had zero issues with it so far. Really like the password protect feature. I believe I bought this on sale, but after looking at 6 different models of an 8 TB external hard drive and reading all of the reviews, this one came out on top.

    So far so good. It's working as a Time Machine backup for my Mac. I just had another Seagate 24 TB drive fail, with an unencrypted Time Machine back up on it, and that drive is a total loss. So I'm now nervous about totally trusting this drive. I'll probably purchase another brand and do a second Time Machine backup just in case. 3-2-1 rule.

    This drive works as needed. Just plug and play. It requires power cord because of the size, but the size is what I needed for backup.

    I save a lot of raw files for bird photography so I needed the disk space so I got this external hard drive for that purpose. It is easy to install and just simply plug and play. It is a bit big though but for the capacity of 8 TB, that should be okay.
