Plenty of space

Plug in and play
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's pretty hard not to give a 5 stars. It does what is advertised. Plug it in and play. In case you had concerns, it will require the external power supply. This is a full sized HDD and USB power isn't enough. Real life usable space isn't 8TB, but it's more than enough for the average consumer. If it's on sale, pick one up, back up everything, and forget about it.

Big storage for data hoarders and such
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So in truth, this is actually a pretty moderate amount of extra/backup storage compared to the 10+ TB sizes that are more standard these days. But the pricepoint was good when I picked this up, and they shuck easily enough for the hard drive to be put into a small home server setup. Get a few of them for RAID and you're good to go!

Easy store is easy to store your back up data on..
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works fine to back up data from my NAS, then take to work for off site backup. I have another one, so when I take one to work I bring the other one home to back up again with updated data. So far it works fine.

I would recommend this to a friend Falls asleep often
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's very fast, and works well in general.. however it seems to disconnect itself or "fall asleep" semi-frequently and will no open folders, without me unplugging it and plugging it back in. Feels like it's trying to crash on me two months in.
