    Couldn't pass up an great deal like this, a WD RED 8TB 3.5 7200RPM for $160 on sale.. its great.. took it home, ran a few scan to ensure the HDD integrity, everything checked out so now it houses my home movie/music collection, which is accessible on almost every device on the network with free universal media server running in the background on my Win10 laptop. Speed is decent, only connection is USB3.0 & gets transfers around 80MB-100MB/sec on a WD 1TB 2.5 SSHD FTW

    I play PS4 games on a SSD and this external drive is connect to a PS4 Pro via USB. The games load time from USB Drive isn’t as fast as SSD but very good IMO. It’s probably load as fast as a regular Internal HDD. 8TB serves me very well considering all the things it holds from PS+ Monthly free games and free to play games.
