    I purchased two of these. One is always connected to may computer and the other has a backup of the same files. Sometimes I connect the other one to my other media devices to play music and videos. For the price it's a massive amount of storage. It's not super fast compared to ssd and can be a be a bit loud sometimes, but I'd still recommended for backup of media, such as photos, videos, music, etc.

    Reliable hard drive for storage. I didn't need any high speeds but wanted a drive for storage for my gaming console. It works perfectly for that so I'd recommend picking one up if you need it and don't care that it requires power and is a little larger.

    Added this 8tb bad boy to my PS4 hard drive so I wouldn't have to delete and (re)download games onto the main hard drive or a smaller one. Won't be as fast as the SSD I put in the system, but good for the extra games I don't play as often.

    This drive is definitely sizable. I have purchased many of these and so far, so good. If you plan on shucking these, keep in mind the drives probably are sata v 3.3 which means if your power supply is not 3.3 compliant, you will have to use a molex to sata power adapter. I found out the hard way.

    This drive has been up and running since I bought it around 7 months ago with no problems at all. Wish I would have bought a couple since the cost of the guys fluctuates quite offend. When it goes back down to what I paid for it last, or cheaper I hope, I'll pick up a couple of more to put in my NAD.
