    Contains a top of the line NAS hard drive which I have connected to a Media PC to store all our mkv/mp4's. Working great for several months. Able to saturate a gigabit LAN no problem. Is quiet but does have a periodic "tick" as others have said. Probably not good for a bedroom PC if you leave it on while trying to sleep.

    Very nice unit. I'm not using it as a backup however, but instead for storing HD and 4K video which takes up an enormous amount of space on my other hard drives. Using this exclusively for my video frees up a lot of extra space on my smaller hard drives and computer hard drive. So far it works well and his fairly speedy.

    Great external drive! I have used the drive daily since purchased. Not one problem. Speed is very fast using the USB 3.0 port. If you need an external high capacity drive for a low price, you can stop looking. This drive is perfect for that.

    Really loud and cumbersome. The software isn’t great and it’s rather slow to write and read.

    Great drive and price was awesome. Hooked right up to Xbox and can now download free gold games. If you have an Xbox you need an external drive. This one has to have its own power supply and that’s ok since it lives with the console. Took less than 5 minutes and this thing was in service and having new games downloaded to it.

    Huge space capacity. One thing though when you set it up you won’t get the full 8 terabytes you’ll get a bit less but not the full 8 just keep that in mind. Access is fast but not blazing fast. I use it to back up my pictures. Get it when it’s on sale. Thanks BB
