    It's big (8TB). It runs (ticking and spinning drive sounds). It stores data (my backups). It works with my computer (Late iMac 2012). It's been running for a while (5 months). It's nothing special, but it just works. Get it!

    As a photographer, I believe in backups. I've got tons of images and other important files, and having multiple copies is important to me. This external USB 3.0 drive is quick, and has enough storage space for everything you want to back up.

    I am replacing a 2TB version of the same drive that I have been very happy with. This much capacity for the cost will allow me to add many custom backups in addition to the regular backups that use this drive. Impressive.

    I have a bunch of these drives. I use them as mobile resources, back-ups, and gifts. I back up my entire laptop data in the 8T storage capacity. They hold lots of movies. I highly recommend going for the big one. You can always grow into it.

    I bought this device as I wanted to have a high store HDD for the purposes of backing up video games that I have on hand. This device does exactly what it says on tin. Works great.

    Got this for a great price during Black Friday sale! 8GB feels like you can store anything and everything! I like the speed and the brand. Like with any hard drives, it's important to handle them delicate so as to not lose data.

    So far so good, but usable space is 7.27 TB

    I like the smaller footprint, the large amount of storage, and the fast USB 3 speed, but just so would-be buyers know, usable space is 7.27 TB not 8. Identifying it as 8TB is somewhat stretching it. I would buy it again though.

    I bought this as a birthday gift for my Mom. She needed this to consolidate all her tiny hard drives into one hard drive and this did the trick. Plug and Play and transferring were a charm.

    I use this hard drive for, as far as you know, legally storing movie files that I paid for through a legitimate file-sharing medium, such as - but not necessarily - iTunes. It's a hard drive, so what else is there to say?

    I'm using this drive to run a Plex server connected to Ubuntu. Drive is adequately fast for streaming HD video. Have been running it pretty hard for a few weeks now and the drive has been solid, no complaints.

    Slow as molasses, but hey it's a spinning drive. For a backup drive or media-NAS, the price per TB and quality is the best in the range. I have 2 of these and they are reliable.

    Bought this during one day sale for $129 to use for my Xbox, works great so far. Only had it a week so who knows how long it will last. Could last 3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years, as with all hard drives only time will tell.

    Requires power, expect to take up an outlet. Easy to use right out of the box. Great capacity, fast data transfer. Using mine as extended storage for PS4. Games play without issue, frees up my ps4 drive with plenty of room to spare
