great with lots of storage. Not too big and easy to use.

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.

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.

Great product! On vacation and needed storage for data - Best Buy to the rescue. Thanks for having choices in stock. We will be able to continue using this even when we get back home. Multiple connection options, sufficient storage, PC and Mac compatibility- thanks again!

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.
