||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as a Deal of the Day, I have 6 TB of data to backup, and this 8TB external was the perfect way to do it. The software was easy to install and setup. How does it restore backups? Who knows, haven't had to do that yet, hopefully I won't have to.

NOT PlayStation 4 Compatible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I literally bought this for my Playstation 4 to use as a second drive to have my video games loaded and saved on. This drive is actually 8.1 TB which is actually not a bad thing at all but i gave this a 1 star so you can read this if you want to use it for the PS4. My rating is only based on that i do not need it for my MacBook.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great storage capacity for a great price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a desktop external hard drive, which means it requires being plugged into the wall to work. That being said, transfer speeds seem to be faster than those of the smaller portable hard drives, which do not require being plugged in.
