This holds all the pictures and videos I have. Plus it will hold some game files and programs. Runs fast and quiet.

Like Lightning McQueen said, "Okay, here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed." This game drive is all speed! Transfer speeds are faster than your typical HDD due to the rotational speed. I play games on both my PS5 and PC and it works fine with both!

Easy to install, good price, it compatible to any gaming console, love it

I use this for my xbox one. Worth every penny. A tiny bit noisy but when youre playing a game/watching a movie you dont hear it. It runs faster tham the internal hard drive (and most externals) so games load a few seconds faster which is awesome.

It's faster than your average non SD drive and so far has been reliable. When it's running it makes the typical low hum of a hard drive with moving parts but it isn't noticeable. It lacks all the back up apps but I just use it to store all my movies. Overall a good purchase and I'd recommend it.

Easy plug and play design. Works great! Great way to upgrade your space if your out of sata or ssd slots

I mainly use this as a portable drive for my gaming laptop. I have had this for over a year now and I have no real complaints. The read/write speed is fast enough that I can have games like Warzone on this drive and not have any game lag from the data transfer. I even have this routed through a USB hub and then into the laptop, so through all of that, the speeds are good enough for gaming purposes. I currently have about 2.5TB stored on this and really other than some noise while installing and downloading things, I forget about it. Total storage out of the box is 7.27TB, if that matters to you.

Got a great price on this during Black Friday. It's a fast drive with ample storage space. It makes loud clicking sounds. I've heard this is common with drives of this size. I find it annoying.

Pros: At the time of purchase this external 8TB drive what $40 cheaper than the same drive internal drive. It's fast, but not as fast as my Seagate Barracuda Pro 4TB external drive. Given it's twice the size for the same price it more than make up for the few seconds I have to wait to load games. Cons: It's a bit on the loud side and despite having the same cache size and RPM as my Seagate Barracuda Pro it's noticeably slower. My Seagate feels snappy, this drive to be honest feels like a fast 5400 RPM drive instead of 7200. However when you benchmark this drive it says 240 MBps read and 190 MBps write while my Seagate is 230 MBps read and write.

Transfers data fast the the default formatting works with both Windows 7 (work computer) and 2009 vintage Mac Pro running OS 10.11.6. This is a feature that I will need as I will likely be replacing the Mac Pro with a high end Windows box as the new Mac Pros are WAY too expensive. I have TB of photo, video, and document data to migrate. Well constructed. I have not had any issues to date, although my usage has been admittedly rather light to date. Powered by USB 3 w/o separate power cord/brick is a huge plus.

Needed an external hard drive to hold backups, design and media files. I use it to hold a lot of Mp4's so i can plug it into my tv to watch movies from it.

I download pc games on to it. Quality hard drive for gaming.

Super excited to have a huge external hard drive that can back up not only my files/pictures, etc. but also the entire laptop system. No more struggling with deciding which things I can back up. Now I back EVERYTHING! Had too many laptop failures/crashes. The struggle is real! Never again. It was easy to set up, reformat for Windows and back up. Very happy with the price point and large storage of 8TB. Since I am a very heavy user and have large amounts of data, this is very important to me. After eldercare for multiple family members since 2016, I had to manage everyone's finances, utilities, insurance, day to day expenses, subscriptions, cable, medical, taxes, on and on. I was buried in data and had to maintain that data for 7 years. Needless to say my drives were bulging. So glad to have found this huge drive.

This product works great! It has plenty of storage and it's easy to store. I recommend this product to all my friends. This hard drive is also durable so can keep it just about anywhere. It also download. faster than must hard drives. I really loved the price for how many storage you get.

Fast and great for holding games. Comes with a nice stand, and it is very sturdy. I bought it because I wanted to separate my games from my file backups. Didn't disappoint.

Excellent product does exactly what I needed to do

Great unit to storage PS4 games on your ps5. Compact, quiet and overall a good product! Just remember if you need more storage on your PS5, for ps5 games, this harddrive wont help with storing those games! You will need a SSD. Overall good product!

Fast setup and faster pickup couldn't ask for more

Its a good design. Its fast and efficient and it looks good just about anywhere. Use for it all of our family videos and pictures. Have two 8tb hd wont try another one. simply cause i dont need to. This does it very well.

Game storage ease. Connected to an xbox series s. Speed for games is great. Best balance of value for space, speed and ease of use
