    Definitely has a lot of storage and has a nice weight to it so I can't imagine it falling at all unless done on purpose. Skinny but not too tall either so it's easily stored. :)

    At the price that Best Buy charged for this 8 TB external hard drive, it is remarkable. The drive works perfectly. I put two of these in my computer and now have at total of 24 TB of hard drive space to play with.

    Purchased this for piece of mind to store photos and media storage as well as other important information. It was very easy to set up and inexpensive for the amount of storage. It is quiet and doesn't get hot or overheat. It is small enough to not take up much space and has a nice shiny finish.

    I like it so far even though it is not 7200rpm drives inside. I use it to backup my home videos and pictures from our vacations. That way we have an extra copy on one archive drive instead of spanning multiple external usb drives like in the past. Hopefully, it'll last a couple of years before we need to upgrade to a larger drive.

    I usually get Seagate hard drives, but they didn't have any in stock when I had a drive that went bad on me (something I haven't had happen for years). Thought I would give this drive a go since it was well rated and since it was on sale for a good price for the capacity. Its speed is very good... five star on that. We had a little difficulty with it kicking out of iTunes now and then (with my iTunes library being on it), so that is the one thing that lowered my rating slightly. No other problems so far.

    I'm finding that some of these have double the cache memory inside, which is great! MASSIVE capacity, awesome price. I recommend everyone should have something like this to back up all of their computers and devices.
