    I use mine as an expansion drive for my PS4 and love it . I cannot stand to delete games I’ve worked so hard for , yet do not want to sacrifice quality of gameplay either; this drive restores my happiness and faith in the present/future of gaming . No lag , easy to format , no noticeable running sound.

    Great Price for Western Digital external hard drive. Drives inside are usually non-tler white label hgst or wd reds. YMMV. As packaged works great as a reasonable fast mass storage backup only spinning up when needed. USB 3.0 but of course limited to the sata limits of the mechanical hard drive. 100-150 MB's maximum.

    A Good General Purpose Backup Drive

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This drive is not too big physically but probably not something you want to use as a ‘carry around’ portable. The 8TB capacity is large enough to back up all of my 50,000+ photos and other video projects. It has good speed when transferring files. I haven’t had any problems transferring about 1TB of files to it from another drive. Under normal reading and writing of files it doesn’t seem too loud but I notice a light clicking sound every 10 seconds when the drive is idle. I do wish the drive would’ve come with a Micro B to USB-C cable.

    This item rocks! I use these for my media server for 5 years now just picked up another one while on sale and have no regrets. After setting it up it works as I expected. If you’re looking for an external HDD I recommend WD.
