Good value for large files and external backups
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sequential speed at 150-200MB/s for copying large files but it seems like the controller adds latency to seeks, making small file copying slower than an internal drive. Overall good value and not too hot or loud.

Noisy

Simple and seemless
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had ordered a 2 TB internal drive from Dell and the virus hit so they couldn't deliver. I canceled that order and found this 8TB external drive at Best Buy for less money. Boy am I glad I did. Everything I needed came with it and I was up and running in seconds. It is quiet and fast and just sits out of the way and does its job. I highly recommend this drive.

Plenty of storage, easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this as a back up, not as a primary storage device. The drive is nice and works well, but I couldn't get the backup software to work. It was upgrading from an older version of HP software and I haven't been able to get it to work right since the initial installation/upgrade failed. But the drive works fine, looks good, and provides plenty of storage.
