    Replacement drive for one I purchased in Jan 2020. The previous drive failed in just over two years. Drives made in the mid 2000s used to last about 5 years.

    We bought this 8tb external hard drive to go with a new iMac we bought. We have only had this for a couple of weeks. But so far it has performed flawlessly! The drive came formatted for Windows, so I had to reformat it to work properly on the iMac. But that was simple, and it has worked perfectly ever since. It will be nice to have all my data in one place again, with my old drives as backup!

    Product works well with transferring data from windows 10 to windows 11. My only complaint is that I wish the instructions were more informative.
