    Got it at a great sale price, less than a 4TB unit. I don't have USB 3 on this computer, but it works fine at USB 2. Initial transfer of huge batch of files did take a long time (overnight), after that the auto backup and regular access to files is indistinguishable from my hard drive (which works better now that I moved so many files off it).

    Price tends to move around on this drive, but when I purchased it it was by far the cheapest way of getting so much storage for your money. High quality WD Red drive in an enclosure that can be easily dismantled if you want to place in your home NAS or similar. Have already put it through it's paces and have been very happy with the results.

    If you need large external storage at a decent price, this is a pretty good option. Not a super-fast drive and not necessarily built like a tank but, if those aren't your needs, then this drive will do just fine. Easy to set up and reliable operation. I purchased two for some backup needs and all has worked just fine.

    Runs a little noisier than I’d like and shows scratches super easily, works nice for my purposes though. Doesn’t play nice with most blu ray players because the high capacity I assume.

    This 8 TB drive allowed me to backup all of the data from 5 individual external hard drives! My recommendation to everyone if to have more than one backup of anything important because an external hard drive- like your computer's internal drive- can fail.

    Drive was purchased when on sale for $179.99. Very good price point. Intended use is for Xbox one X game installs and transfer. Performance and speed has been very good when transferring data from the internal drive on my Xbox One Elite to this unit. Also, no discernable noise can be heard from the drive from our normal sitting position.

    I bought this for my XB1 as my 2TB was overfull. I managed to snag this on a sale. It has worked OK. A few times it has not registered with the XBOX right away, but that seems to have worked itself out. As long as it lasts through the warranty period and then some I will be happy. Wait for a sale, and good luck running out of room! LOL
