    This hard drive is used as a back up to two computers and stores thousands of pictures and many documents. Back up is seamless and set for automatic.

    I was debating between this and a Seagate hdd for my xbox one. Previously I had a 5tb Seagate that quit working. I ended up going with western digital because it was quite a bit cheaper and honestly, you can't go woo bgg with western digital or Seagate. I like that this hard drive stands vertical, it includes a power cord and USB. Works perfect on the xbox one, only crazy thing is you have to format it on a computer and then on the xbox. Already that is what I was prompted to do. Just an extra step, after that it works flawlessly.

    I connected this unit to my Synology NAS server as an extra backup. Enough space to currently back up my data 9 times. A very good price for lots of storage

    Great external HDD for backup

    Pros: - Read/write speed is great(about 200MB/s) so it's even faster than USB 3.0 sticks. Guess it contains a decent HDD inside. - Huge capacity. 8TB = 7.27 TiB - Does not make noise. Cons - It's AC powered. You should carry both 3.0 cable and adapter. - Somewhat bulky, not so portable compared to other external HDD... But compared to its capacity its okay. Its huge capacity is perfect for backup things, such as my photo, videos on my travel, etc. But it's not portable, so may be used as my backup machine. I'd want to get a 4TB version afterward if I need portable one. Very satisfied.

    This hard drive more than meets the demand of everyday use. If you want to back up a lot of files on PC/Mac or (what I use it for) install your games on video game consoles, then this is a perfect drive for you. I found that I have a massive backlog of games, and my friends always wanted me to install older games that I had finished. No longer do I have to worry about keeping those games installed because of the size of this drive. It has fast access to files, and is large enough where I will also use it with the next gen of consoles as well.
