    This will do the job for a mirror for my other external drive. Thus far, it does the job pretty nicely.

    Works OK. Reformat for "File History" backups.

    I believe I received an "open box" item because the drive was not recognized by windows when I connected it to my PC, nor were the "quick start" instructions in the box. A friend formatted the drive on a Linux box, then reformatted it on my PC, and it works well now. It turns out that this was a "blessing in disguise" because the drive as formatted by the factory cannot be used for windows "File History" backups. After setting it up, working well!

    It works great with the PS4! It needs to be plugged into an outlet to work, so that's one less plug I can use, but it's worth it for the storage capacity. I love having all my games and apps being accessible at any time, and with room to spare! Definitely, worth it! Would highly recommend.

    I was hopeful that this large drive 8 TB would provide storage for quite some time. I store lots of images on my external drives. I was really disappointed in the speed of this drive. I have a couple of folders that are very large with lots of images in them. It takes a minute or two for the drive to bring up the full list of all the files in the folder. I have another drive from Western Digital that accesses the same set of files 20 fold faster than this drive. Since this is a backup drive, it is tolerable, but if this were my main go to drive I would have had to return it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
