    This drive will do a great backup but my purpose was to put all of my DVD's on it then play them from the hard drive. It works however about half way through the movie the lip sync starts to not track. So it's not much use for me 400 DVD collection. I'm pretty disappointed.

    8TB of hard drive space for $129 is an unbelievable value.

    The luxury of added storage is great but on what ps4 you have it can be a pain. Our USB ports are all located up front so if it is jostled hard enough it causes the storage device to not work properly so we have to unplug it and restart the ps4.

    I like the 8TB space, but I've been noticing the drive will disconnect, then reconnect. Have read that others have experienced the same and may need to do a driver update. It's working, but the disconnect is annoying.

    Got the drive on Friday, experienced issues copying ~500G so decided to run the complete drive test before doing anything else - it's been stuck at 90% complete for >24h - certainly unexpected for a brand-new drive!

    It's ok for the price but I noticed that after letting my computer sit for 10mins or so the hard drive goes to sleep and somehow disconnects itself where i have to reboot my computer to get it to recognize it.
